Because this film was very sloppy. OK that's a bit harsh, it was actually a good effort for a script that seemed bigger than its budget.
For the most part the acting was a mixed bag of pretty good to kind of cringey, but I believe a good portion of those cringe-fests were down to a script lacking in any substance, for an example - within 38 minutes 'The Butcher' has to repeat the line "you have no authority now" or something to that effect THREE TIMES! It doesn't sound like much but until that point she had said maybe 40 words in total.
And sure, the action scenes were lacking in any kind of excitement and even though they used choppy editing to cover up the fact that nobody can actually throw a punch without letting out a fart which scares themselves - it still looked terrible and completely ruined the emersion that we're supposed to be watching double-hard dudettes serving life in prison.
Having said that, I really loved the cinematography and creative style I'm which this was shot, can't compliment it enough.
So all in all, not bad really. Good effort.
Oh yeah, and is it just me but when Lennon was introduced did anybody else get a very strong "James Ellis - Sarge" vibe? It was uncanny.
Anybody there??
