Loaded (2008)
Please, no more!!
Weak plot, predictable violence, only semi interesting characters. Like the writer (also one of the stars?) was fictionalizing his own screw ups and added an incredulous fantasies of drugs and murder to make it "hot". From the predictable rap and house soundtrack, to the family conflicts, it's poorly acted, stereotypical, and ultimately terribly boring. Even the title has been done before - IMDb lists FIVE movies with the same name released in 2007-2008!!
Note: Saw it on Showtime, which listed the synopsis for one of the other movies. Was halfway thru before I realized no one was an undercover cop. Even tho another stereotype, would have made it interesting if it happened.
Disturbia (2007)
Amateur Hour
The technical details of this movie ruin it. Halfway thru started noticing booms and mics in almost every scene. Noticed several gel lights and saw the tops of the sets a few times. Are there two or three cuts of this movie out there? I can not imagine how anyone missed them. They should have re-shot most of this movie. Just insulting and embarrassing to watch. They seem to have had a budget - lots of music, well dressed sets, fairly well known actors, and a big ad campaign. But the result would earn a film student a failing grade just on the production alone.
David Morse was incredible, but the script doesn't let him seem real. The 1st half of the movie was extremely detailed and rich, and then they just wrapped things up quickly and predictably, like they ran out of time. Not really scary or thrilling, but mildly entertaining. This movie is pretty much product and it shows.
