Review of Explicit Ills (2008) by Dana A — 13 Apr 2010
This is one of those movies that sounds great on paper but because its been done a hundred times before it doesn't hold your interest at all. None of the stories are interesting or compelling. They really don't seem to have a point nor do they make much sense.
The characters because of a lack of storyline are dull and boring. Despite this the acting is the only movie's saving grace, mostly the youngest actor is what kept me watching. You know the writer was trying to go for the big picture message but it was completely lost on me, since it lacked an overall story and direction, I felt the director was just scratching the surface of these characters and there interlocking story.
We never really get to know these characters instead were treated to random monologues hat don't connect. If the script were tighter, have an overall connecting message we could have gotten a lot more character development out of the entire cast.
Sadly this is just one of those been, there done that, not saying anything films.
