Jake G. Being Jake G. - Again

Rating: 3/10 (5 December 2014)

Twenty minutes was enough for me, I couldn't take anymore. I don't care where it goes or how it ends.
Yet another movie with JG employing the practice of 'method' acting, you almost feel like he's saying to himself: 'move here, say this, smirk, move head weirdly, repeat'.
See Prisoners and you'll understand that this performance (like many others) is just an extension of an instantly dis-likable character being performed by an 'actor' hitting his marks.
In any entertainment feature, there has to be some redeeming aspect of a character that draws you in. When you can empathise, connect with the situation and those within it; then your happier to move forward with them and their story. Not here, this was dire.
No doubt some will applaud the eccentricities and mannerism's of this character and the films premise of viewer/participant/instigator. But JG's acting just got on my nerves and I couldn't get past the fact that this was performance by numbers.
I really was looking forward to seeing this movie, what a disappointment.
My vote is based on the twenty minutes I watched, it probably would be lower if I'd watched it all.
