Crappy film

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Blistering performances.

The movie is best described as any typical poorly produced horror type movie where the characters will do the stupidest things to get themselves killed for no reason (eg.-walking into places knowing that you'll be killed or not taking anyones obvious warnings). The acting itself was not bad but the movie doesn't make much sense as to how a giant snake can move around the prison but can't really be seen until at least the last 45 minutes of the film. Some scenes were just written poorly. for example, dean cain promises a prisoner her safety when she was freaking out about the snake eating her and 5 minutes later, all he did was shoot her (but not the snake) so she wouldn't have to deal with the pain of being eaten... I guess that's still keeping his word. I'm no animal expert but this snake goes around this prison eating a bunch of people...don't snakes eat and then go hide and sleep it off since they're most vulnerable when they are full?? I don't think it's even worth the time watching this film. if dean cain would show some skin, perhaps it's still worth the rental.

1. There is no way in the world a maximum security prison to have only 13 personal including the engineers. No cook. No Janitor. Only the guards, the warden and the engineers.2. There is no way for an 80 feet's Boa to travel as fast as a F1 racing car on an empty hallway.3. There is no way for an airplane to reach certain destination without confirmation from the destination source.4. There is no way for an airplane to come to an isolate place where's the pilot himself have to fill the fuel them self. Refer to no:01.5. There is no way for the wife of the star to survive while the others which were trained arm personal, deadliest terrorists in the world died in an instants.6. There is no way for a snake / BOA to "eat" thru a 2 feet thick wall which suppose to take weeks for humans to drills thru with sophisticated drills.7. There is no way for a Snake to "eat" thru a military airplane which suppose to withstand thousands pounds of pressure.8. There is no way this movie suppose to be made.9. Do not rent / see / but this movie

Worlds better than Python, maybe a little bit better than Python 2, and in terms in entertainment, better than Snake King. Boa is a unique film with the same kind of bad graphics like those used in others like it, but it is more entertaining than Python, a film I absolutely hate. Dean Cain leads the cast and he is perhaps the best actor on the screen, although his character's mood changes constantly and impossibly. First he's all upset because he thinks his wife has been killed by the snake and next scene, he's just concentrated on getting out of the prison and not even thinking about her. And the other members of the cast are either so-so or terrible. Overall, Boa is a better film than others of its kind, but not anywhere near a decent motion picture.

It is incredibly disturbing to think that some people somewhere felt this was a movie worth making. They may even have been pleased with the finished product. They should be ashamed. Be VERY ashamed.The "plot" revolves around an internationally sanctioned top secret prison built, it would appear, to house those guilty of crimes against acting, with a special wing for bad accents (the "oirish" accent on display here makes Dennis Hopper's attempt in "Ticker" look good). The inmates promptly get together to explain their expertise. To counter the poor acting of the inmates, the prison staff are frighteningly bad actors to a man. Anyway, after some exposition, clumsily plonked in the middle of some dialogue, it is revealed that some drilling has hit a chamber full of pure nitrogen that can apparently support life for over 10,000,000 years or some such guff. This chamber is home to an 80ft snake (not sure what it has been feeding on all that time.) which promptly goes on a rampage, wiping out appalling actors roughly in order of how much they stink.A quick word about the script, a tip for budding writers, if you don't have enough material, pad it out by having the characters repeat their lines ALL THE TIME.Anyway, into the mix come the most ineffective, badly organised and generally incompetent special forces team in celluloid history who, for no discernible reason, drag along Dean Cain and his wife, who, we are led to believe, are palaeontologists (suspension of disbelief is required here.) This provides more fodder for the dreadfully cheap CGI snake, which appears to have been knocked up on someone's Commodore 64. **POSSIBLE SPOILERS, BUT IF THIS RUINS THE FILM FOR YOU, YOU NEED HELP!**More people die, stuff happens, none of the prisoners use any of their expertise, there are no shocks or surprises, amazingly (and criminally), the worst actor in the film survives. And, as the credits roll, it dawns on you... you have actually wasted 90 minutes of your life watching with the sort of morbid compulsion that greets a serious accident. Once it is over you may feel somehow cheapened and dirty and racked with guilt, and rightly so, consider what you have done, you have given these people an audience, you are encouraging them to churn out more films like this. Be ashamed. Be VERY VERY ashamed.
