Terrible Production Value.

I'm not sure I can even try to write an honest review of this piece of dog shat. I watched the entire movie. Well, let me rephrase that. I tried in earnest to watch the entire movie but did not succeed. Sure, I heard the entire movie but the value is piss poor. 75% of this movie is almost completely dark. Of course that comes to be expected as it does involve being in dark tunnels, but I'm not only referring to the tunnel scenes. You just can't see what is happening on screen. It is a downright atrocity. I tried everything. I turned off all of the lights thinking it was possibly one of those movies where it needs to be completely dark in order to view it properly. I don't mind that, I love watching movies like that. But even at 10:00pm, all lights off in my house, I still could not see what was going on. There were multiple scenes I just had to take a guess as to whom was killed or injured because I COULDN'T SEE IT!!! Maybe it was the copy of the DVD I rented? I don't know. It wasn't the player itself. It is a brand new top of the line DVD player. The movie I watched before it looked perfect, as was the movie I watched after it. The production was a negative on a scale of 0 - 10. Stay away from this 'film'. Sucks balls.

Typical troll post; no information about the film whatsoever, just a lot of rage and hyperbole... I doubt you even watched it

In terms of lighting, the version I watched was perfectly fine. I could see what was going on. I thought the cinematography was rather nice for a film of this budget. Maybe you have cataracts or something?

What a moron. Most likely someone involved with the crap you tried to pass off as a movie. That was not a 'typical troll post' at all. Did you even read what I wrote? I watched the movie from start to finish but had an extremely hard time seeing it. Next time, spend a little more money and make it watchable. My father is a veteran of vietnam so I was excited to see this as I love every movie about the war, liberal dimwit versions included. My eyes are perfect. Good try though. Next time, try a little harder on a watchable movie. Tool.
