director takes you on snipe hunt-you are the fool for watching this, sorry

Rating: 1/10 (22 June 2008)

I've heard older men talk about the famous "snifpe hunt", where they take an unsuspecting naive person into the woods with a sack to wait for snipes, but none show up.
Well, welcome to the snipe hunt. The entire cast, writers, director, all of them are laughing at everyone who watches this mesh. There is nothing poignant or deep here. It is just a mess.
It began as a book, and to be honest, the book and movie are actually a "spoiled brat remake", or "modernist Beavis and Butthead version" of the classic NIGHTFALL.
As near as one can make out, every major character has many guns. One finds all kinds of money, and magically everyone knows where everyone else is all the time. Now some of this is explained by a bugging device, but somehow everyone knows who everyone else is. Despite all the bloodshed, this still manages to plod on in complete boredom, which reminds one of the worst decade in film history, the seventies.
All this because some hate filled bubble boy didn't like NIGHTFALL. So, we still have the lady's man who finds the money and is pursued by killers, one of whom is a maniac who pretends to make the assassinations a game of chance, and the other a saner man who resents him, and we have the addition of the "investigator who is in over his head". Jones takes the part once handled by Gregory. It's unfortunate that Jones is not an actor, but acting is looked down upon by the twerps of modernism.
How does junk like this win awards? Because the people giving awards are even dumber than the people making movies like this, and that is hard to believe.
