We should be ashamed. |
I really cannot emphasize that our global responsibility as people living here and creating art, is that we need to prevent the creation of these gross distortions of our reality for our own good. |
It's an embarrassment. |
I don't know how on earth any of these actors, writers, or the director of this film sleeps at night knowing that they had a role in making "Loaded." |
I don't know what type of disgusting monsters enjoy watching these types of movies. |
That being said, I love a good "bad" movie. |
I love Shark Attack 3, I love Bad Taste, they are HILARIOUS. |
I tell all my friends to see them because they are "bad." |
But this....... |
this crosses the line of "bad" into a whole new dimension. |
This is awkward bad. |
This is the bad where you know everything that is going to happen, every line, every action, every death, every sequence BEFORE they happen; |
and not just like a second or two before, I mean like, after watching the first 5 minutes before. |
Every cheesy editing "effect" is shamelessly used over and over again to a sickening point. |
I really never want to see the "shaky" camera "drug buzz rush" effect or jump cuts or swerve cuts or ANY FANCY CUT EVER AGAIN EVER. |
This is meticulously boring, repetitive and just tortures the audience. |
But....... |
and let me be specific here, the most DISTURBING thing about this movie is that given the production, it appears that a somewhat decent amount of money was actually put into this excrement. |
I personally will grab the shoulders of the director if I ever see him and shake him into submission, demanding that he run home and swallow two-gallons of Drain-O or I will do it for him. |
If we ever needed a new form of inhumane torture for our war prisoners abroad, just keep showing them this movie in a padded cell over and over again. |
Trust me, I think they will become more extravagant with suicide methods after the 72nd time of sitting through this. |
Stop these movies, they are just the most vile of all facets of our society. |
Please. |
Stop. |
NOW. |
There are times when finishing a film one wishes to have a refund for the time just spent. |
This was one of those times. |
I almost gave up with only 15 minutes left to endure... |
and I wish I had... |
The pace that a man goes from a straight-laced, controlled life to one of complete spinelessness and irresponsibility could never be this rapid. |
From a graduation celebration to the predictable ending Tristan Price (Jesse Metcalfe) man of privilege and culture allows himself to be seduced by a woman, by violence, and by mind altering substances. |
Of course, the woman part is understandable when observing the talents of the beautiful April (Nathalie Kelley). |
But the in for a penny in for a pound aspect of the drugs, violence and dedication to a person he has just met is impossible to understand. |
Frankly, besides being able to stare at Nathalie Kelley and Monica Keena, this film has no redeeming qualities. |
Save your money, save your time... |
do anything else... |
Weak plot, predictable violence, only semi interesting characters. |
Like the writer (also one of the stars?) was fictionalizing his own screw ups and added an incredulous fantasies of drugs and murder to make it "hot." |
From the predictable rap and house soundtrack, to the family conflicts, it's poorly acted, stereotypical, and ultimately terribly boring. |
Even the title has been done before - IMDb lists FIVE movies with the same name released in 2007-2008!! |
Note: Saw it on Showtime, which listed the synopsis for one of the other movies. |
Was halfway thru before I realized no one was an undercover cop. |
Even tho another stereotype, would have made it interesting if it happened. |
All I could think of while watching this movie was B-grade slop. |
Many have spoken about it's redeeming quality is how this film portrays such a realistic representation of the effects of drugs and an individual and their subsequent spiral into a self perpetuation state of unfortunate events. |
Yet really, the techniques used (as many have already mentioned) were overused and thus unconvincing and irrelevant to the film as a whole. |
As far as the plot is concerned, it was lacklustre, unimaginative, implausible and convoluted. |
You can read most other reports on this film and they will say pretty much the same as I would. |
Granted some of the actors and actresses are attractive but when confronted with such boring action... |
looks can only carry a film so far. |
The action is poor and intermittent: a few punches thrown here and there, and a final gunfight towards the end. |
Nothing really to write home about. |
As others have said, 'BAD' movies are great to watch for the very reason that they are 'bad', you revel in that fact. |
This film, however, is a void. |
It's nothing. |
Furthermore, if one is really in need of an educational movie to scare people away from drug use then I would seriously recommend any number of other movies out there that board such issues in a much more effective way. |
'Requiem For A Dream', 'Trainspotting', 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas' and 'Candy' are just a few examples. |
Though one should also check out some more lighthearted films on the same subject like 'Go' (overall, both serious and funny) and 'Halfbaked.' |
On a final note, the one possibly redeeming line in this movie, delivered by Vinnie Jones was stolen from 'Lock, Stock and Two Smokling Barrels.' |
To think that a bit of that great movie has been tainted by 'Loaded' is vile. |
Overall, I strongly suggest that you save you money and your time by NOT seeing this movie. |
If you look at Corey Large's information here on IMDb, apparently there's a movie called "Reload" in production (as of June '08) in which he's playing a character named Sebastian Cole. |
First of all, how does such a crappy movie ever earn a sequel ... |
and second, didn't Sebastian get killed at the end of "Loaded?" |
I watched this in the wee hours of the morning when I was battling insomnia, and so I was drifting in and out while it was on. |
I'm sure I missed some plot points, but overall, it seemed really weak. |
Large's performance was (for me) one of the stronger parts of the film. |
I'm also a bit surprised at all the people commenting on the beautiful girls, since I thought the actress playing Brooke was pretty, but not exceptional. |
This film had a lot of promise, and the plot was relatively interesting, however the actors, director and editors seriously let this film down. |
I feel bad for the writers, it could have been good. |
The acting is wooden, very few of the characters are believable. |
Who ever edited this clearly just learnt some new edit techniques and wanted to splash them all over the film. |
There are lots of quick 'flashy' edits in almost every scene, which are clearly meant to be symbolic but just end up as annoying. |
I wanted to like this film and expected there to be a decent resolution to the breakdown of equilibrium but alas no, it left me feeling like I'd wasted my time and the film makers had wasted their money. |
This is one of the dumbest films, I've ever seen. |
It rips off nearly ever type of thriller and manages to make a mess of them all. |
There's not a single good line or character in the whole mess. |
If there was a plot, it was an afterthought and as far as acting goes, there's nothing good to say so Ill say nothing. |
I honestly cant understand how this type of nonsense gets produced and actually released, does somebody somewhere not at some stage think, 'Oh my god this really is a load of shite' and call it a day. |
Its crap like this that has people downloading illegally, the trailer looks like a completely different film, at least if you have download it, you haven't wasted your time or money Don't waste your time, this is painful. |
6/10 Acting, not great but some good acting. |
4/10 Director, makes some stupid decisions for this film. |
2/10 Writer, story makes no sense at all and has huge amount of flaws. |
4/10 Overall score for this movie. |
Don't waste your time with this film, it's not worth it. |
I gave 4 for this movie and it may be too much. |
Characters are so over exaggerated than they can ever be in real life and some pretty unexplainable stuff happens "storywise", not in good way. |
Because of the style this film has been filmed you get bored after 30 minutes (too many special effects: slow motions and camera shakes and fast forwards). |
It's always good that movie uses music to make the story go smooth but there's too many tracks in this one. |
In the first hour there is almost 50/50 dialogs and musics |
This is really a new low in entertainment. |
Even though there are a lot worse movies out. |
In the Gangster / Drug scene genre it is hard to have a convincing storyline (this movies does not, i mean Sebastians motives for example couldn't be more far fetched and worn out cliché.) Then you would also need a setting of character relationships that is believable (this movie does not.) Sure Tristan is drawn away from his family but why was that again? |
what's the deal with his father again that he has to ask permission to go out at his age? |
interesting picture though to ask about the lack and need of rebellious behavior of kids in upper class family. |
But this movie does not go in this direction. |
Even though there would be the potential judging by the random Backflashes. |
Wasn't he already down and out, why does he do it again? |
So there are some interesting questions brought up here for a solid socially critic drama (but then again, this movie is just not, because of focusing on "cool" production techniques and special effects an not giving the characters a moment to reflect and most of all forcing the story along the path where they want it to be and not paying attention to let the story breath and naturally evolve.) It wants to be a drama to not glorify abuse of substances and violence (would be political incorrect these days, wouldn't it?) but on the other hand it is nothing more then a cheap action movie (like there are so so many out there) with an average set of actors and a Vinnie Jones who is managing to not totally ruin what's left of his reputation by doing what he always does. |
So all in all i .. |
