An action-packed slog
A Major Disappointment
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
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.
This movie is beyond a rating system because it is beyond all concepts of movie making. It may be the most insane thing put on video, full of utter nonsense and total insanity, but YOU WILL LAUGH YOUR BUTT OFF! Amazing, amazing, amazing stuff.
Neil Breen makes some of the most entertaining films I have ever had the pleasure to watch. Thank you Neil.
Neil is an artist, magician, visionary and god. He is the overlord of modern cinema. Watching any of his films, especially this one is better than sex. The plot, cinematography and acting is magical and very unique. Neil is also a technological genius and can use a computer more effectively and efficiently than most software developers.
