Fantastic!
Absolutely Fantastic
I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
The Dutch have a long-standing tradition of producing horrendous movies, with bad acting, poorly researched historical backgrounds and teeny tiny stories spread out all over the place.This movie was no exception. Some of the props were nice (uniforms, vehicles), but o my, the dialogs! Too much explanation, too clumsy, and way too much feel good.My inner child cringed at every bump in the road to perdition.I'm tempted to end this snarly review with a nasty pun about this being the mother of all snuff movies (as all things lovely about film in general are brutally slaughtered), but that would not be fair on the dog, who admittedly did his very best and had a beautiful smile.
