Watched a movie..

Today I got a hold of a really shitty film. In fact , I think this deserves a place in the closet of bad movies of all time.

The movie was about a Gangster "mom" from the 30's who robbed banks along with his four sons. It was prominently named "Public enemies (A.k.a "public enemy #1)" . I happen to think that they should've called a mob-hit on the guy who wrote the screenplay and made the director sleep with the fishes while wearing cement-boots. No , really , it was that bad of a movie.

The realism-ratings of the movie were way off to begin with. "Mom" and his gang kill hundreds upon hundreds of FBI - agents in mediocre action and chase-scenes while dodging bullets like Neo&friends from the Matrix. Needless to say , it really becomes one boring experience real fast. And for some odd reason you don't really seem to connect with any of the main characters of the film either. And by these main characters I mean mom and his gang. So , they along with the whole movie isn't exactly a "Bonnie and Clyde" - experience either since the criminals here don't have any sort of charisma or savvy in them. They're just scum who'd need to be hanged on a public square and afterwards dogs could urinate on their bodies. Plus , mom and his boys have a really annoying southern drawl which make them sound like retarded baboons.

Some of the non-actions scenes are a pain in the ass too (although , as if the action-scenes wouldn't be enough of a pain-in-the-ass alone). They just involve drinking booze and messing around. So the only thing I was hoping for along the entire movie was that the FBI agent who led the special taskforce after mom and his boys would execute the whole bunch of sub-humans as soon as possible. And as painfully..as..possible.

I couldn't care two cents about the main characters in the movie. The sooner they were dead the better. And that's obviously the thing that the script-writer(s?) hadn't taken into account. They just couldn't grasp that in order for a gangster-movie to be successful the criminals have to have a certain amount of controversy in their characters. They need to charismatic so that the audience can agree to disagree about them being criminals to begin with. Now that , in my opinion , can be considered a good recepy for a gangster movie. As for this movie , it was a poorly executed action-movie with characters that didn't exactly matter to me for a cent.

I'll give it 1 star out of five and four in the scale of four to ten points. Don't watch this movie. Instead , focus your efforts on finding the home-address of the guy who wrote the script for this one. And when you find him , call John Gotti's gang on his worthless ass and wipe your ass with the script before applying the script-writer with a set of cement boots. Afterwards , he will be gone and no-one will remember that this movie ever existed. Everything returns back to status-quo.


* out of ***** (one star out of five)

4/10 (four points out of ten on a scale of four to ten)
