Even though the budget was obviously though, they could have at least tried!, 23 February 2006
3/10
Author: thirteenthfloorelevator

Not even the slightest bit of anything resembling effort went into this film. The characters are one dimensional, the effects are shoddy and the acting is so awful that at times I thought I was watching a year 12 production of "dags" - the acting quality is much superior in that! While some of the events might be factual, that does not make them actually interesting, and this whole movie is more boring than watching paint dry! Even if the budget was bigger I have a sneaky suspicion that the movie would have been crap anyway, because it would not have changed the awful writing and poor performances! What a waste of all the effort involved!
