"Sometimes first instincts are wrong"
I walked into a Blockbuster with my mom & we saw Morgan Freeman's face taking up most of the cover of this one. I believed that the rule of movie covers is that actors with more than 5 minutes of on screen time have their pictures placed on the cover. I think about that twice now when I rent a movie. My mom loves Morgan & I thought he was awesome in "The Shawshank Redemption" & "Bruce Almighty" but I was a little skeptical about this one. Straight to video movies are tricky that way. To this day I have no idea what the point to this movie was or why Morgan Freeman even bothered being in the biggest waste of celluloid since "Manos: The Hands of Fate". Perhaps he did it as a favor. Basically all he does is put his head against a doll he's holding & fail to convince a guy to come out of his apartment. I wonder how much they paid him to do that? I could do that. There was violence in this "film" but no blood. How can that be explained? A little girl was sitting at the top of a slide, got shot, & slid down the slide dead. There was no bullet hole & there was no blood streaked down the slide. A guy was stabbed in prison, & there was no blood on whatever it was that stabbed him (can't remember) & no blood on his orange jumper. Another guy shot himself in the head. No blood & his funeral was open casket. 1st of all, I thought that when someone gets shot in the head, they can't have an open casket funeral. I might be wrong but that would be gross. 2nd of all, if they decided to sew that area shut (which wouldn't make a bit of sense but then again this movie didn't make sense) his face still would've been a mangled mess. The complete absence of blood in a movie rated "R" for violence & other stuff wasn't even the worst of it. The dialogue was horrible & I couldn't even understand what was being said most of the time. It could've been the crappy sound or the actors mumbling through their lines. If you want to be a filmmaker or an actor, take a look at this & "Manos" to see how a movie shouldn't be done. 0/10
