A Sad State We Find Ourselves In

Rating: 2/10 (6 August 2007)

1. the writing is horrid: "she's dead...they killed her." "Did you kill them?" "I killed them." okaaaay.... 2. amnesia = robotic delivery. 3. jerky camera zooming in and out = cheap TV style pioneered circa 80s. Yawn. 3. the story is thin, the script a tired exercise in telling the audience what to think and when to think it. There is not much to engage in. There is no guessing, just waiting for the automaton to smash the other automaton's head in. NO SURPRISES HERE. Come on people: do you rate this so highly because you can shut your brains off completely? Where is the intrigue when there is no room to think, when everything is spelled out in mind numbingly one note delivery? 4. the flashbacks are so lame, those effects are so lazy and TV-like in treatment. Cheap. 5. A sad state we find ourselves in when critics and audiences alike have unanimously voted/rated this TV movie so highly...it's really sad and i hope not everyone buys the hype not because these hacks should or should not make money, but because our quality control, our points of reference and our culture is in decline. And yes it will continue to do so and I entertain no delusions about it, I just want to be entertained intelligently.
