Oh my god, what a waste of time

Rating: 1/10 (10 October 2006)

I want to keep this short. First of all, I never played the video game. But I can tell this was a video game adaption after the first 30 minutes watching the main character Rose Da Silva running through the scenery (or levels) calling her missing daughter's name all the time. Her actions seem unmotivated (why is she running the car through the fence, at this point of the movie there's no reason for that), and when she gets into the town things are getting worse and worse. Her first encounter with the 'evil' is just ridiculous, as is her acting. And this goes on and on and on... I mean, this is a movie and it should work for people who are not familiar with the video game. All the characters act foolish throughout the whole movie and the dialogs are really, really poor. Even the special effects were boring, because most of them are way too dark and cut in a way that you can't really make out the action. There are some nice ones towards the end of the movie, that's the reason why I rate it with one star. Otherwise I would have rated it with no stars, if there was the chance to do so. This is the worst movie I've seen this year. And it stands in line with such 'masterworks' like 'Nang Nak' or 'Catwoman'. I hate those filmmakers for wasting two hours of my time. My advice: AVOID!
