Review of Decoys (2004) by Charles B — 25 Aug 2005

Decoys is one of those films that looked bad even when trailers were being shown on TV. For some reason, I decided to watch it. Now, If you don't reconize this film, it's because its a Canadian film. I watched Decoys expecting it to be on the level of "so bad its good" and that's exactly what it was. Decoys is horribly made, directed, written and acted. Even the serious lines were laughable. The worst line of the film goes to.

Police Officer: Do you want to be alone?

Luke: I'am alone.

This line is cheesy as it gets and theres more where this came from. Decoys doesn't know what it wants to be. The film tries to be sentimental at times, scary, and funny. Well ,I'll give credit to the film for being funny. I found it be funny even when the "sentimental" scenes are happening. Even after saying so many negative things about this film, I still considered it to be very entertaining. This is one of those films that is fun to watch with a group of people. Most of the enjoyment comes from making fun of the film. Overall, Decoys is a predictable, messy film which is very entertaining.
