I'm not saying this could have been a 6 or 7 star movie, but easily better than a 2 had the team just tried.
Each member of the main cats was not just a stereotype of a specific personality, they were a caricature. And you figure that out in the first seconds you meet them. If they aren't taking the film seriously, why should any of your viewers.
And the cinematography ... you were supposed to have learned in high school that cutting the top of the head off your actors when taking non close up is a simplistic no-no. Again, if you cast and crew aren't tasking you movie seriously how do you expect your audience.
I haven't even gotten to the script, which was amateurish at best.
Pity as I said since there were definite glimmers of quality ... but fading glimmers only.
