Review of Redwoods (2009) by Jim C — 26 Mar 2010
I really wanted to like this movie...love it, even. Two minutes into it, I felt sucked in the same way you would if you were watching a fatal traffic accident in slow motion, and with much the same result; I wanted to hurt myself for putting myself through the experience.
Where to begin...? The actors seemed as if they had never met each other before the very moment they appeared on camera. Dialog was stiff and as unnatural as a gay Republican. And talking about time dilation, this was really a 45 minute film dragged out to 90.
The acting was on a par with a BAD high school drama production. The direction was....nonexistent. And what makes it all a real shame is that the underlying story was very good. Unless misery is an option you love, skip this film.
