Rearview

This is just a very terrible mivie. Given the cast I didn't think it would be nearly as bad as it is. It is an overly convoluted action movie that lacks much in the way of real action. And the story just makes no sense at all. The acting is extremely sub par and the script is down right awful. Now I must ramble on because IMDB requires a minimal number of characters for a review. Spoiler alert - there are no spoilers in this review. You can't really spoil a movie that is this bad. To say this movie is cliche is an understatement. From the first scene to the last it keeps getting worse. Do yourself a favor and pass on this movie.

At dinner the other night when the guys and gals separated we started talking about how hard it is to be the top as an entertainer or athlete then my buddy starts off as says I heard CGJ and Dearn were in this i heard it was bad but went and put it out of respect he goes on I was lying down and after 10 mins I was.getting my wife to film me getting up and walking out of my own bedroom/theatre. I didn't mind the show on mute while I put on iTunes and listened to some great songs and then it was tolerable. I had to see it for myself trying to be objective. They kinda put all of the eggs in the last basket of the movie. That last scene where they explain what the whole movie was about. Jumped it up to a bad B movie. I applaud the he effort of the players in the farm system playing ball just clinging on to the dream as someone once did it but timing and luck are the best shot for the effort.

Find something else to watch. Just another totally convoluted movie that starts in the middle and jumps round and round. Just the millionth version of pretty much the same old script, but so are most of the others out there. Could have been at least decent, but they missed that boat completely. Full of second-rate actors trying to climb their way up, but this is not the way to do it. It's hard to give a good performance in a bad movie. Besides, they all look pretty much the same, same gruffy faces, same dingy clothes, same boring lines, all given in poorly lit dungy settings. Forget the Cuba Gooding tease. Only thing that got me here, but he was just there to pick up a check for his lawyers, say a few lines, and go back home.

I often try to watch, or, at least, check out, low rated movies mostly because my taste runs different from most other peoples. I really don't care about writing, continuity or dialogue. What I care about is if the movie interests me enough to see it through to the end. This one is a hidden gem. I liked the camera work and the character development. The flashbacks were a bit to get used to and I found that actually paying attention is helpful. If you don't mind having your scenes delivered to you haphazardly in a non-linear fashion with head-scratching moments, this is probably going to appeal to you.
