First I couldn't believe the reviews and ratings. Then I checked the people and of course, they have left only one review (for this movie), which makes me think that those reviews are fake. I mean, they gotta be, since no one could take this film seriously, in any way. Directing, plot, acting, editing...so bad. Sound was obviously captured either on a cheap equipment, or by someone who doesn't know how to plug mics properly. I couldn't understand half of dialog. Also there's a loud noise on many places, as if they were making sound louder without eliminating noise afterwards. Editing - OMG where to start. There are PLENTY of dead frames between scenes (1 or 2 frames long, and noticeable for people who know anything about making films). All kinds of transitions, as if someone was checking what FinalCut Pro can do, browsing it's presets and adding stuff. Directing - I think there was no directing. Director probably held camera in his hand saying "now walk" and shooting from the most boring locations possible. I got seriously angry realizing how many great angles he missed. Even if he only followed the director's little black book of angles (which he didn't) it would look much better. Now it looks like when a parent shoots his kid's recital from a single spot in the audience. Extremely frustrating to watch. So I wanted to check the director who tortured me for the whole duration of this film and I discovered that this is the only thing he's done, on his own. Thanks for wasting my time. The only reason I watched the film was it's poster, which reminds me of some Tarantino flick. That is where all the similarity of course, ends. Painful to watch, better be avoid. Don't say I didn't warn you.
