| | Good writing - great potential - director walked through it | Anonymous 05/28/2007 | | Lots of promise in this urban 'Most Dangerous Game' -- but the director, William Webb, appears to have either walked through his duties or phoned it in. Great ideas barely explored by the screenwriter, Dana Augustine, as exampled when we are introduced to the hero, Robert Forster, living at his sister's house .... and when he went on a beer drunk, banished to the nephew's tree-fort. The VIDEOHOUND'S COMPLETE GUIDE TO CULT PICS AND TRASH FLICKS gave it 4 STARS out of 5. Worth a look and a purchase for the odd Saturday night. |
