Although I have had some entertaining moments over the past
couple days, I was definitely busy between high school football games, middle
school soccer, softball and band performances. When you throw in some Diablo
III, it is easy to see how I did not get to the blog. Of course, it would also
be because I am trying to finish Fringe as well. Next up for review is the 2013
British entry Shame the Devil.
Plot/ A London detective tracking a serial killer finds the
killers "truth or die" methods take him to New York to solve the
case.
While I had no real expectations for this one, I was still
left with an empty disappointing feeling after watching it. In fact, if you
have seen any movies in the Saw franchise, you have already seen better
versions of this one. From the outset, the cliché moments and clear duplication
of the Saw model are abundant. From there, it cascades into more of the same,
without the class of the Saw franchise. The scripting is uneven, the dialog is
subpar, the acting rough, and the is nothing to draw you into the movie. In the
end, this was a hard movie to watch and offers nothing new (not even any blood
or gore). Honestly, re-watch one of installments from the Saw franchise, you
would have a more enjoyable time.
