Is your eye still jumping?

Warning: Spoilers
Shawn (Jonathan Andre) inherits a Mustang for his uncle. It contains stolen diamonds. He makes the mistake of allowing a mouthy homeless Blaxplotation character see them. Now everyone including the owner is after them and they all have guns.

The film starts out a bit disjointed with missing scenes and an odd religious scene that never tied back into anything. The acting and dialogue were fair, and the sound quality (especially in the echoing shop) could have been better. Good funny scene of robbers trying to escape while pulling up their trousers.

Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity.

Nothing to spoil.

Wow...just wow.

The entire thing is just - well...wow....wow.

Yeah, not in a good way either.

So bad.

But then again, I don't want to critisize the 3 year old who wrote this, cast this, and filmed this.

There is no story.

It's so poorly constructed with just atrocious dialogue and horribly written characters.

The film maker must have gotten the script from the inside of a ceareal box - because it surely did not come from anybody who has any idea about story writing.

Wow - miserable dialog, choppy editing and camera work, unrealistic location and set design, bad direction over-all.

Still there is one saving grace to this debacle - and that was the box art - and the opening credit (which was obviously not designed by the production crew) - otherwise they would have used that same kind of production value throughout the rest of this miserable waste of time.

The only spoiler here - is that there is nothing to spoil - because there sadly is nothing really of entertaining value or interest.

Maybe another 30 rewrites and somebody who has any idea of story telling behind those rewrites could have helped dramatically.

Fellows - before you do your next disaster - (in what you call "film making") - please actually read a book or maybe take a class in how to construct something that does not bore, insult people or put them to sleep.

Oh yeah - and make it even remotely interesting - with some dialog which has sparkle and charm and brings the story somewhere - even if it's just past the first line of action...because this is really not close to interesting at all.

The only benefit for you is that I realize there was no massive budget to work with - that aside - there also was no story...so it balances out.

Hopefully you and your friends all had fun doing this - because it certainly is not fun watching it.
