Corny script and low budget?


Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed this film and thought It was a great overall idea, I just thought that some of the dialouge was really corny. I'm almost surprised to see that somewhat big name actors like Liotta and Dafoe were in it, they're acting saved this movie, without them I really don't think I would have enjoyed this movie. Something about it gave me a low budget "b movie" vibe. Did this ever come out in theaters? or whats the story with that?

its corny because it is a straight to video movie. the ending was way too melodramatic

You wanna see Defoe is something REAL corny (and horrible)? Then check out Boondock Saints... Worst movie made by any man in the last few years. Somehow it has a cult following of low IQ having apes... There is no accounting for taste nowadays.

I think the original poster makes some good points but the acting is good and I found the film entertaining. Sure, the breaks in logic jump out at you, and stuff like the Hispanic chick hanging with a dude twice her age are very distracting.
