The stars of the movie are Gia Skova's blonde hair, her breasts and her duck lips. Why do women still think that duck lips are attractive? Duck lips are funny looking. Gia has limited acting ability - her lines are rather cold. The dialogue is shallow and disjointed. Watch it for a good laugh about how bad a movie can be. I think this movie was about promoting Gia.

It's SO easy to entertain me
Killa4218 April 2021
I'm very easy to please with movies. Give me a woman who can fight and kill and a storyline that you can semi-follow and I'm happy. This movie had the first part with Gia Skova Lucinda as a tough as nails heroine. The storyline was really difficult to follow and extremely scattered. Lucinda is running from the law, then she is the law, a special ops chick, then she's suddenly in jail, and a minute later protecting a little girl who vanishes suddenly (other characters vanish too) and then she's tracking down a mad bomber. Just pick one of those elements and there's a storyline somewhere. This movie just had the same actors doing a bunch of unrelated stuff that was kind of coherent. I saw it for free and cooked while it played. So, nothing was lost. It's a shame. I'm so easy to please. One of my favorite movies was Elektra! I liked Uwe Boll's Bloodrayne movies! Even I'm saying this was bad.
I feel pity for those involved in this film

If I think a movie is really bad then like most I will write a scathing review. However this film is so bad I feel as if I would be criticizing people with mental disabilities or cognitive delay.
What I cannot understand is how someone in this day and age when every movie is out there for renting or viewing on Netflix etc. they cannot watch them to learn what to do and what not to do.
The dialogue seemed written by 8 to 10 year old kids that have watched every B movie out there and didn't even nail that. The pacing of the actors was terrible also. Lighting? Was there any thought given to that?
I understand budgets can influence the outcome of a movie but in this case no budget could have saved it. If I am writing this it is at least this film can serve as an example to future film makers on what NOT TO DO! Put quality in the script. Be realistic in the production based on what budget you have. Pick quality actors (and not yourself unless you are better than what you find). Lear lighting technique or hire someone that knows it well. It's an essential to film making. Then there is editing! Get an editor and colorist that knows what they are doing.
Yes these things cost money but this movie had more budget than most amateur films I've seen yet many of those surpassed this garbage because their story and intent was foremost.
It's extremely difficult to be the writer, actor, director and producer in any film for extremely talented and experienced film makers. As I said this film would be a waste of time other than it can fulfill a use by being a standard of the abysmal failure.

AWFUL from start to finish
mjsreg3 March 2021
What on earth have I just watched!!
The background music is constant and annoying - as well as being inappropriate for whatever happens to be on screen.
The continuity is all over the place - I don't think anyone thought about joining the pieces of this film together - and the editing is constant cut scenes - sometimes with characters moving to completely different positions from shot to shot.
The story is just ridiculous - as is the script/dialogue.
Then we come to the 'acting'. Oh my word - it is AWFUL. Wooden doesn't come close to describing how bad it is. The main character hardly changes expression - maybe it's because of the plastic surgery - and it seems as though her 'dialogue' had been dubbed in post-production
The stunts/action is just as stupid as the rest of the film.
This is one you REALLY shouldn't waste your time or money on.

Covid has brought the worst out in many aspects, including garbage movies that were meant to be destroyed before causing pain to an audience, being released.
This is awful.
This gave me PTSD and diarrhea
Added: Odd that all the general movie "star review scores" have now disappeared (which was 4.4 out of 10 before being deleted). I wonder what that's about?! Never seen that before with any other movie.

A rather pointless action movie...
paul_haakonsen8 January 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Sure, I hadn't even heard about the 2020 action movie titled "The Serpent" prior to sitting down to watch it. But I must say that the movie's cover and the fact that it is an action movie, then chances were that this might actually be an enjoyable movie.
But it wasn't...
The storyline in "The Serpent", as written by writer and director Gia Skova, was just boring and slow paced, and the movie seemed rather pointless actually. I have to admit that it was so uneventful and boring that I actually fell asleep about 1 hour into the ordeal.
The acting in the movie was adequate, but not something you should get your hopes up for. I mean, the acting performances got the work done, but they weren't outstanding or particularly impressive.
With "The Serpent" being an action movie, I must admit that I had hoped that the movie would have offered a bit more of excitement and adrenaline-filled action. To be perfectly honest, it was a bit stale and tale actually, and the action sequences that were in the movie, just didn't really delivered where it mattered.
If you enjoy action movies, there are an abundance of readily available movies that offer a heck of a lot more enjoyment than "The Serpent" does. I think someone yanked out the teeth and venom glands from the serpent before letting it go. It was a very bland and boring movie experience.
My rating of "The Serpent" lands on a generous three out of ten stars.

The kid's the bomb
nogodnomasters27 February 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Lucinda Kavsky (Gia Skova) works for the CIA. She is attempting to thwart multiple bombings. Children are being used as a bomb, having a chip placed in them shortly after they were born years ago. Somehow the chip will trigger a nuclear explosion, something not explained as people do not contain enough fissile material to explode in a mushroom cloud. The reasoning was equally confusing.
The film soundtrack played the same riff over and over again in an attempt to generate excitement. After 30 minutes of the same tune it grew boring. The story is also told as a flashback with flashbacks within the flashback making it a mess to watch. Gia Skova looks good in tight diver's suit, but was not too convincing as a killer.
Guide: No sex or nudity. No swearing as I recall.

Really, really BAD movie
andletlive24 October 2021
Very amateurish...
At least some beginner filmmakers start with some projects they can handle, and learn -- before attempting a longer ambitious project. This was a HUGE bite, very poorly executed, and the result is BAD.
There are more flaws in this thing than anything -- in writing, directing, editing, etc., etc.
I feel sorry for the actors -- for them, I gave this a 2 rating. In spite of the obviously poor direction, not all look as bad as the "star".
I see a lot of 10 "ratings" LOL!! They are obviously fake.

Action movie
giaskovaprod13 December 2022
Female fatale , thank You for all people who helped to make this movie, and thank you who support with kind words, to be critical is easy , try to accomplish something like that, and after you will never judged again
, thank you for reading it.
I think every story have right to be saying After all not everyone can understand the message.
I like to tell the story and I like to listen the story.
Everybody can watch movie But not everyone can make movie And not everybody can criticise art , because those who doing it , i guess never experienced true communication.
I personally liked the story a lot , linked to the character's personality and I want to see more of this story.

kevinpp326 August 2021
I'll give them credit, they tried to make it work. People are generally harsh and expect a well polished Hollywood film but this isn't it. It has potential and it starts of slow but thankfully it picks up quickly. The ending was surprising and the editing felt a little rushed but the soundtrack and acting was great. This is one indie film i watched to the end and though I do understand where some of you are coming from it's just a entertaining film and nothing else. I'm giving this a 7 for entertainment value.
Horrible
mafiawarsaddict2 March 2021
Cast and crew wrote the good reviews (even says so!)
colin-9663925 February 2021
Viewing audience wrote the accurate ones.
Gave up after 15 minutes as the actions of people was totally incomprehensible.
2 people shooting at point blank range and missing everything (professional trained law enforcement!)
Who funds these things, surely someone read the script?
Just worth watching to help show how very good the pro's are I think.
At least some people got some wages I guess lol.

Worse movie of the Covid season
jose-cortes18 October 2021
Editing...awful.
Story line....weak.
Acting....poor.
Plastic surgery:... painful to watch.
Stunt...none.
The best part...The End
Don't, just don't do it. And if you, please, rate it very low to make up for their buddies pumping up the rating.

The worst film I've ever seen?
Billy-Fingers2 July 2021
Watched this on Sky and within 10 minutes was checking the smallprint to see if I could get my money back.
Terrible film on every level. Acting is totally inept and lead actress deserves recognition for a quite formidable lack of acting ability. Script is awful, continuity all over the place, pacing of the edit is simply spectacularly bad. Even the "dramatic" music is annoying and misplaced.
Congratulations on making the worst film I've ever seen - and I've watched some utter turkeys over the years!

I Kept Thinking It Will Get Better, But...
carchero23 January 2022
When I read the info on this movie it sounded very interesting. I like movies with a strong female lead who can kick butt and was looking forward to watching it. But nothing could have prepared me for this mess! Honestly, I only kept watching to find out what the big mystery was! The poor lead had two expressions: her eyes got bigger and her lips pursed when she was shocked or upset. That was it! I thought it could have been so much better with a better script, director and lead actress. When I learned that the writer and director was Gia I saw what went wrong. The editing was also poor, but there is only so much a person can do with such a bad movie.
Overflowing rotten & odiferous garbage

The lead girl its the best.

The serpent its action film started, produced and directed (as debut) by Gia Skova and produced By her own company vallholl productions
The plot follow Lucinda Kavisky and CIA agent fall in disgrace and chase by her own agency. Now she must fight for survive and defeat an international conspirator
This first milestone of the film its the good choreography as the fight scenes and the length of the action scenes. The music composer its efficient in create an immersive world for the audience.
The performance of Travis Aaron Wade, Akimiro kitamura and Alexandra Tebano are great, but its Gia Skova, the female lead, the soul of the entire film. She is able to building a complex character with strong values and physical strong.
Another great asset to the movie its the principal photography, its able to follow the history with none one distractions.

This film is way better then the trailer. The main lead Gia Skova is absolutely stunning and I could really watch her in every film she makes. I see so many mixed reviews but give it a chance and I'm pretty sure it weren't disappoint. Given the budget and time frame they for sure made one of the better indie action moves there to date.
95% liked this film? Don't fall for the false reviews!
hwardale29 August 2021
I was hoodwinked like a lot of viewers by the false ratings. $5.99 wasted and 15 minutes of my life that I will never get back.
I told my SO that the actress was obviously someone's girlfriend. No, actually the actress is the screenwriter, producer and star of this epic disaster. A Russian model with a British voiceover, and one can only assume an army of rating bots at her disposal. Save your money and time!

Seeing the airbag being deployed in a Mercedes from 1980 made me chuckle. And then the police officer made a blooper,banging his gun on the car door. I didn't watch it any further,so the "at least 150 characters" cannot be achieved.
