So let me explain something. This is how the rating system works here for those of you that don't know. From 1 to 10 with 1 being the worst and 10 being the best, this is how it goes. Rating: 1. Complete and utter trash. You can't believe that money was actually spent on this steaming pile of garbage. Acting was the worst in history. Story was garbage. Directing was done by what appears to be a 5 years old with a 1965 home camera. One of/if not the worst movies ever made. Rating: 2. Pretty horrible in all regards. The acting and directing are the same as rating 1, however it had a moment or two that raised the bar just a tad, but still a horrible horrible movie all around. Rating 3. Still really bad, but you found yourself slightly interested in a few parts. You actually say to yourself "that was actually not to bad of a scene". You still think it was garbage but you tell your friends "hey if you can watch it for free and literally have NOTHING else to do I guess give it a watch but don't hope for to much". Rating 4: Not horrible but below average. It could have been WAYYY better, but the acting was OK and the story was OK although it is probably a tired story you have heard and seen in movies a thousand times before. Also it is very predictable as to what is going to happen. No real surprises. Rating 5: Average. Just an average all around movie. It was decent enough to kill 90 or 120 minutes and it had some cool parts, but still pretty forgettable. Not bad acting or directing at all but still just average. Rating 6: Above average. You were actually a little surprised at how much you enjoyed it because you came in with very low expectations. Not bad at all. In fact pretty decent film really. Rating 7: Surprisingly very good. You walk away telling your friends "dude, you need to see this movie. It was actually really really good. I really enjoyed that. I hope they make more of those.". Rating: 8. AMAZING film. Steller performances from the entire cast. The writing, directing and editing were spot on. This film will go down as a Steller film. Yes there were a few plot holes and slow pacing in some scenes but overall a fantastic movie. Rating: 9. A darn near perfect film. I mean everything was amazing. The performances all deserve Oscars. This film will become legendary. Just a few minor things bring it down but MAN was that an amazing piece of art. Truly incredible. Rating: 10. A perfect film. Nothing is wrong with this film. It is flawless from beginning to end. Best picture, actor, actress, writing, editing, directing should sweep the Oscars. This was one of the (if not the) greatest films ever made. This film will be talked about for millennia after its made. A true unequivocal masterpiece in all regards.
So why do I mention the rating system? Because some of you obviously don't understand it because you rated this film a 10/10, 9/10, 8/10, or even a 7/10. This film was at BEST a 3/10. I rated it a 2/10 because for some unknown reason, the people who made this film thought it would be a good idea to have half the movie spoken in Spanish and not have English subtitles. Everybody knows that one of the biggest/ if not the biggest besides China, cinema selling landscapes is America where the majority of people speak English and yet they decided not to include subtitles. It's hard to get into a movie when you literally have no idea what is being said.
Also, the editing was bad, the directing was bad, and the writing was bad. It was trying to be some art house film with a boring story that has been told so many different ways that it really is getting old at this point. One last thing. Frank Grillo has the acting ability of a worm. He will only be a secondary character actor and any movie he stars in is stright to video flops. I can only imagine what is in his contract. He once stated that he actually hits his co-stars because it looks more real. What a pretentious way of thinking. His co-stars must really love him. He probably says "I have to come across as a tough guy or I am not doing the job. I doubt we will see any stellar performance from him ever. This movie was a joke.
