Danish film with good intentions - not good results!
21 June 2005
Yes, this is a debut feature film! Yes, this is extremely low-budget!

But, that is not a valid excuse, for making a movie as bad and poor as this one!!! Only one good element in this film, and that is Michael Zile's own cameo role - he's actually pretty good here. Beside from that it really stinks! Sorry folks, but that is a fact!

The story/script is messy, filled with plot holes, many loose ends, written with no dramatic sense at all and very poorly written dialog.

The camera-work is far the worst ever and so is the sound. There are moments in this film where you can't hear a damn thing. The sound man is credited at the end of the film - I wouldn't have dared to be credited for such a lousy and awful job if it was me!

It's shot in full-frame on DVCam (video) and they haven't even tried to give this film a "filmlook"in post-production. It's so easy now a days!

Even the title-design is damn ugly (if you can call it a design?)

All the technical aspects of this film is far the worst I have ever seen. Clearly no one involved in this film have any idea how to make a film....AT ALL!!! This film only took eight days to shoot - perhaps they should have used eight more......seriously.

The actors are all amateurs. Some directors have success with the use of amateurs (like in Nicolas Winding Refn's PUSHER II), but this is just awful, and it may even make you laugh. I know did. I wouldn't call them actors, and I wouldn't call this a film - this is a home-video, and everyone would be better off NOT watching it!!!
