Murky Script
16 December 2016
Muddled entry with some interesting points that unfortunately are too loose to combine well. Thuggish Sal (Gordon) suddenly has power, from who knows where, to swap personal attributes with others. So he embarks on what he thinks is self-improvement in order to be worthy of his more refined girlfriend (Kobe). Trouble is he swaps for compassion, something he sorely lacks, but apparently doesn't swap for more intelligence, which might guide his selections. Maybe that basic quality is something that can't be swapped. But the logic behind his power is never revealed, so we just have to go along with the script. Interestingly, however, the story's moral may be that you don't want to meet up with your own worst side.

Anyway, actor Gordon almost makes the sloppy screenplay work, along with a convincingly stern Taylor as Mr. Maitland. All in all, however, the entry's too muddled to be up to series standards.
