This movie is quite good for a high school film class project.
It certainly wouldn't be considered good measured against any other standard, but for high school students making a movie for the first time, it is a pretty good effort.
Uh, I'm not positive it was made by high school students, but from the quality of the writing, the production, photography, and the directing it seems like it almost has to be.
I do think they must have subcontracted out the bridge-blowing sequence to middle-schoolers. Not very sharp middle-schoolers at that. Certainly one of the dumbest, most poorly researched and executed sequences of all time.
I've got to say that I don't know for sure that this was a high school production, but I'm thinking how could it have been anything else?????
I felt sorry for the actors. It isn't that the acting was in any way, shape, or form good: It wasn't. In fact, compared to normal professional productions, I would be inclined to call the acting "frightfully bad." But, in comparison to the script writing, directing, etc. in this movie, the acting was downright stupendous.
I'm not sure how much they spent making this movie, but I feel quite certain it wasn't much at all.
I am COMPLETELY certain that they didn't spend nearly, nearly enough. Each painful scene is painfully nursed to get the maximum amount of time possible out of it, whether it warrants it or not (in nearly every case, a definitive "IT DOESN'T!" I have a feeling very, very little footage was left on the cutting room floor.
Or maybe it was a "can we make a movie in one day" project . . . .
If it wasn't high schoolers, the "one day" thing might explain this juvenile, lame excuse for a film.
