Review of 8MM (1999) by Allen G — 29 May 2013

Action Cage here yet again- this is more the Snake Eyes level though, not the Face-Off one.

It's dark but but it's undeveloped. It's a polaroid that never properly appears no matter how much you shake it- it's blotchy and you feel annoyed that the picture didn't turn out how it should have. You took the picture in the first place though and that's because there's something there- this movie tries to crawl a little further into the mud than most and it does but it doesn't give us anything to separate itself from the smell. It can be as dirty as it likes but if the film is put together in such a mess that the audience is left with a bad aftertaste then you've messed up. Give this concept to someone who can do something with it not someone who just wants to make an action film with a shorter title than most.
