“My buddies and I read a review of this in our college newspaper. We are in our late 20s and in grad school and 3 out of 4 of us thought this movie was one of the worst we have seen and 1 person just thought it was eh. We study political science and film and find this movie to have no merit as a political piece or as a work of art. The humor is corny and played, the story hackneyed and the acting canned. The director really relished in instructing his cast to be over the top and it did not work. Alex Beh was particularly terrible but all of the acting was disappointing. There was something really off about the sound and the music and it was a distraction. I canu0026#39;t say I am disappointed in the movie but I am definitely disappointed in my college newspaper for encouraging me to rent this film. Usually movies that are direct VOD are direct VOD for a reason.”
