Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
If you have seen plenty of movies from the B studio Nu Image, you probably know that they like to recycle footage from their past movies, as well as use stock footage from other sources. "Traitor's Heart" is no exception, using a very liberal amount of footage that I easily recognized. In fact, there is so much of this footage, I truly believe that the screenwriters were shown this footage before they started writing, and were told, "Write a screenplay that will use all this footage." It should probably come as no surprise that there are a lot of awkward bits that come from cramming this footage in, not limited to continuity errors. But what really sinks the movie is how unbelievably boring the movie is. There is a lot of talk talk talk until you want to scream. And the action footage is far from the best Nu Image has filmed. The only entertainment value comes from seeing Bryan Genesse in action, who brings some unintended humor because he resembles and acts like Robert Hays from the comedy movie "Airplane!"
......Feature in this fairly decent conspiracy thriller starring Bryan Genesse. Genesse plays Nick Brody, a family man who seems to have the perfect life; A perfect (and bloody hot!) wife and a pleasant little nipper called Sean. However, after a chance meeting with a mysterious stranger, Brody stumbles upon ever more convincing information that his past is not what it seems..... You see, Brody was involved in a helicopter crash five years previously and has no recollection prior to this time. Indeed, it becomes quickly evident that many powerful people don't want Brody to remember his previous life and will stop at seemingly nothing to prevent him uncovering the truth.Unfortunately, this was erroneously marketed as an action film which in truth, there isn't that much of. Needless to say, this will inevitably disappoint those wishing for a quick fix. However, if you approach this as a low budget conspiracy thriller then you may well glean some not inconsiderable enjoyment from this as I did.
This movie could have been great. But it's got:1.)A Low budget: it really shows, you need a bigger one for this kind of movie. 2.) poor script: although gennese hardly says a word. 3.) poor acting: gennesse does a very poor impression of Mel gibson in Conspiracy Theory complete with stutering dialogue and pop eyes. 4.) poor direction: too many pointless scences the story rambles far too many times. 5.) poor ending: the ending does'nt make any sense,the last 10 - 15 mins were confusing and pointless.all in all a very disappointing movie, watch only if your life depends on it.My Rating 3/10 at best
So Blockbuster video had this thing on sale for $5.00. I said, "what the heck, that's the price of the rental, so why not buy it." Looked like a low budget action B movie from the cover of the DVD. WRONG. no action, poor acting, dumb story, a COMPLETE waste of time. trust me. stay away. don't be fooled by the cover. This movie will have you kicking yourself for renting it. STAY AWAY. 1/10.
