Good movie - but too much Blair Witch camera effects

Rating: 7/10 (24 July 2004)

This was an overall good film - well worth the price of admission in the "keep you on the edge of your seat" action department. The plot was, well, mildly predictable, but that's not why you're there.
However, a major drawback of the film was the, decidedly amateur-style camera work. I realize that a little shaking about adds chaos to the film and makes it "edgy" but, come on - I needed a Dramamine half-way through the film. They couldn't even keep the camera steady while he was reviewing the newspapers for heaven's sake. The director of this film should be forced to sit, eyes propped open "Clockwork-Orange" style, and watch this film over and over again until he pukes, so he knows to never again hire the film crew from the Blair Witch project.
In short, an enjoyable film that you won't notice the negatives about provided you have palsy.
