I see the director has a lot of friends to pad this place with glowing reviews.

There's nothing original about it. Nothing shocking. Nothing much at all except laughable synth stabs and a lot of unused set-ups. They waste twenty minutes setting up this robbery, go out of their way to point out that the ringleader planned to betray and murder his underlings... and they have the ringleader get killed in the robbery, so the planned betrayal never factors. They go through some contrived plot points to have the killer dress up like one of the members of the gang... and that goes nowhere. Too bad, because there was some genuine potential in the story, what with the four gang-members played off against one another, having to deal with hostages *and* a crazed murderer, but none of it goes anywhere. In the end, it's everybody against the killer, and that's been done to death.

And the killer? What, some 16 year old kid? Hell, I would've just wrung his little neck.

Don't waste your time. Go see 'Saw', a movie handed down to James Wan by the Lord above Himself.

Stevan Mena, your movie sucks. Tell your mom to quit posting reviews here.
