Cold Fish (2001)
67KCold Fish: Directed by David Fairman. With Jon-Paul Gates, Conrad Asquith, Nadia Strahan, Christopher Biggins. Alex is a television station intern and ambitious to further his career when he scoops an interview with the shock-video artists Jon u0026 Marta Henley. It seems like the break he’s been hoping for until the couple entices him into their lurid world of violence, deception, and sexual game-playing. Alex’s pursuit of success turns into a desperate attempt to clear his name and save the life of his fiancee by exposing the Henley’s controversial methods.
“I can only regret that I invested some money in this film! Iu0026#39;ve seen many bad ones, but this one is one of the worst films ever it is just so meaningless, brain dead and badly done! First of all the acting is embarrassing, especially the arty couple is horrendously bad, even worse than average actors in a student film especially the woman! The main character comes across as a rather big and stupid bloke, but not someone you bother engaging with. His girlfriend is probably the one that gives the best performance (if you can talk about that) but you hardly notice her About the technical side of the film there is nothing special to remark, except the direction of the camera is very student film look a like and simple, but what frustrates me most as the viewer is the story. Because the story is absolutely meaningless, which becomes more and more obvious as it develops also the u0026quot;real lifeu0026quot; killing footage is absolutely tasteless, especially because it is advertised so strongly on the front of the DVD cover No wonder the critics walked out during the screening in Cannes (I donu0026#39;t think it was because of this films u0026quot;controversialu0026quot; qualities) rather the embarrassment that a film like this could reach Cannes!!! A last remark I would like to make with regards to Cold Fish is the question of who would make a film like this and do it so badly? And why, since the film is originally from 2001, would he or she want to send it out on DVD again in 2005! Are these people completely without any sense of direction and just wanting to make as much money as possibly if so please change profession because it doesnu0026#39;t look like you have anything to give with regards to films”
