Disappointing

Rating: 3/10 (23 September 2011)

This movie was an overall disappointment. While the graphics/special effects, the set development, and costume design etc. were no let down: The overall storyline and character development was totally underdone and lazy. I expected more.
The acting efforts are lousy, with the only enjoyable and believable performance coming from Carla Gugino. Although the storyline holds a concept that could have been used for a killer film the execution falls flat. The film seems extremely disconnected and random, with emphasis being on pointless action scenes instead of any real content in regards to plot. No emotions are ever connected to any of the characters, despite them being abused victims in a corrupt system and the perceived "moral of the story" is very rarely portrayed or felt by the watcher.
The most disappointing part is that I believe the concept of the film and the characters could have potentially been developed to create an amazing film both visually, AND mentally: but sadly this movie relies on cool SFX and pretty girls dressed as prostitutes.
