Willy Used all his talent on The Exorcist.
I guess thats what happened, everything ive see from him sucks, the hunted was ok, but other then that i guess he ran out of ideas or something. This movie is too short to tell a story, it feels incomplete, the performances are average at best(Gene as done better), the so called fast pace isnt there(its boring for an 1 hour and 40 minute which is way too short), there is one half decent sniper chase other then that there is some bad jokes, bad music, bad camera work, and a poor attempt at a story. For some reason a women pushing a baby carrage gets shot during the only half decent scene of the movie which was basically 110% underplayed and he just walks away without so much as seeing if she is dead or not, i guess it was supposed to be shocking or gritty or dramatic but it felt like an afterthought. Bad film making overall. Like I said Willy must have used all his talent on the masterpiece known as The Exorcist, without a doubt his best movie. Everything else he made feels like he just got lazy and didnt even try to make a good movie with any quality whatsoever. Maybe if somebody would just tell him about caffiene, and give him a good script, we might see another movie that is actually somewhat entertaining. 1 out of a 10 for a half decent sniper chase, the ending is also bad because i thought he shot himself but after that it says he was fired or something like that, whatever.
