Highly Overrated But Still Good
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.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Neil Breen is a writer, director, producer and the star in several movies of his own making. This is one of them.There's a certain secret to watching a Neil Breen movie and that is, "just go with it". Trust me because otherwise you will be sitting there why is this scene happening and what was Neil Breen on when he wrote it. Trying to figure out what goes on in a Neil Breen movie leads to madness. In this movie Neil Breen plays a secret agent / hacker / bio-weapon that is capable of curing brain cancer and using several laptops at once. These laptops are scattered all over the desert where a large majority of the movie takes place. And really that's it. You can watch this movie and not really get the plot assuming there is one and he didn't just go all Scott Shaw on us and give it the "Zen film making technique" where there's no script, the loosest concept of a plot and you only act when the moment feels right.Nobody in this, or any of his other movies, can act including Neil. It's like he got a bunch of amateurs together and let them loose. Don't bother with this one, or any of his other movies, unless you are looking for something that it truly incomprehensible.
Neil Breen makes some of the most entertaining films I have ever had the pleasure to watch. Thank you Neil.
I know that some of you won't believe me, but this movie actually makes The Room look good. Yep, it's that bad. How bad you ask? Well, how about voice over for the first 25 minutes of the film. How about an anti-hero (played by the director/screenwriter/head bottle washer) with the tech powers of a god, who eats tuna from a can in his rundown car. And when we do finally get dialog, it's so clumsily written it's laugh out loud funny. "Worst than 9-11, or the other major attacks like 9-11" And the plot? Good luck with that. How any movie with this much voice over can be as unfollow-able, hell just plain incomprehensible, is one of the wonders of the modern age. Is he a good guy, bad guy, crazy, sane? Who know? Who cares? You sure as hell won't. Trust me. There is absolutely NOTHING redeeming about this film.
What to say about this movie, nothing really. After watching this I was confused and wondered exactly what the heck I had just seen, and if I had actually watched a movie or just some scenes hastily spliced together. The plot is lack luster, the acting is subpar, and the continuity of the story is simply not there. Changing from one scene to the next with barely, if any continuity. The video quality was below what would be expected even for an independent film. It is apparent that this movie was written as nothing more than an ego-stroking for the write/director/star.I am sure that Neil Breen had a story in mind at the beginning but somewhere between what he had envisioned to the final product that idea took a turn for the worse. Leaving us with a hollow, unfilled piece of cinematic nothingness.
