Review of You Move You Die (2007) by Igor ? — 12 Jun 2008
Even though I am only giving this movie 2 stars (and some of you may think I am mad for even giving it that much) I do recommend watching this movie. It was plagued by bad writing and directing. The concept was good and the acting made it what it is.
Now I do not mean to sound like I praised the acting in this movie. It wasn't great. When the group was split it was awful; however, when all four are together you see a tight group of people who honestly seem like they know each other and where they stand with each other.
This film is a classic example of writers and director either not being on the same page with each other, or having no page at all. It really felt as if there was no writing; as if they showed up for the shoot saying "let's try this today.
" There's nothing wrong with improv if you have people who know how to do it (the actors didn't really seem to), and people to direct it (obviously not the case here).The reason why I want people to watch this movie though, is to see who agrees with me when I say this; "you keep the actors, tighten up the script, give it to Guy Ritchie, Quentin Tarrentino or some established director that understands action, time constraint and what it means to not dick around, and you would have a pretty solid movie here.
" I'd like to see these guys back together with a director and a script that makes sense. This movie is garbage, but it had the potential. Maybe someone reading this would agree with me and try remaking it into the cult classic I think it could become.
Right now, this movie is just a cult mistake.
