Illusions of Sin (1997)
Good Acting-Terrible Writing!
I saw this movie last week on HBO Encore in Toronto called "Illusions of Sin" a suspense thriller with sexy babes and good looking dudes. The writing was so bad it was humorous. The poor actors (who were good)had to endure this horrific dialog. Rule #1 of writing: "do not repeat the name of the characters over and over and over and over"...give the viewer a break...we get it. You could tell the actors were all doing their very best to perform terrible lines that no one would ever say in the real world. So cliché, so un-everything I cant see straight. I'm giving this movie a 9 because the actors had to endure this movie and to balance out the people who gave it a "1". I read the other "Comments" and low grades..I agree it was like a COMEDY-esquire with the bad writing. The camera shots were OK, the acting pretty good. I liked the pretty gals, the theater boss and the sleaze ball agency dude. The killer was predictable although I thought it could be the sleazy agent. I am going to bed now. Peace all.
