Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Curt Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

originalbadguy I used to work with Glen Vorhis. He was a supervisor of mine at one point in time. He did not tell a lot of people he was an actor. He gave me a DVD of The Prodogy. He told me there was a lot of gifts given to the movie. There is a million dollar green screen effect that they had done for listing in the credits, I believe. the whole movie is intense. The villain comes across as a more intense version of Jason. The shoot outs are realistic, and the action is gripping. I could see who they might have cast, if they had the money. Granted, I only saw this movie because Glen gave me a copy, but I also never saw that side of Glen. He always came across as mild mannered. Great movie.

witster18 Now, I understand that this is a low-budget flick....but it's underwhelming.. even with the understood curve. On the cover there were words like, 'Masterpiece', 'jaw-dropping', and 'Dynamic'. It's not terrible....but to call this a masterpiece is one serious stretch. After the rather exciting opening action sequence....this movie goes into super-slow motion. I look for good 'b'/low-budget/independent films.....I have a 'b' movie suggestion list over 1000 strong and this IS NOT going on it. I appreciate the success of making an average film on a shoe-string budget....but this movie is about as bland as an under-ripened avocado. I was led to believe by the critical reviews and the cover that this film had something special to offer....well.....it doesn't. Keep in mind that, if not for the fact that this WAS A low-budget independent film....I'd probably be in the 1or2 star range... If your not going to 'act' ...then give me the action baby....rented this at the same time as 'District B13'......they should have put those reviews on THAT cover. Also...the lead character makes zero sense whatsoever...he's too much of a 'smart good guy' to work with the slime gang....it just doesn't work for me...at all! The real question is....is there anyone NOT DIRECTLY CONNECTED WITH THIS FILM....that thinks it's a masterpiece.....I mean aside from these friends they have that are these 4 critics on the cover. Speaking of the DVD cover....that is easily the best thing about this. Note:I write many reviews... Sometimes these 'B' flicks can offer exceptional scenes that stick in your mind(like the Hallway scene in 'A Better Tomorrow')...but there wasn't a single moment here where I went 'WOW'..... I rented this with a 1.99 coupon and I still feel cheated. I believe some of those involved in this film are 'obsessed with this average piece of crap'....they're sitting here writing great reviews on it and sniping all the negative one's. Take it from an outsider....this movie stinks! There's a difference between a movie that takes nothing and makes it into a fairly cohesive low-budget success(stepping stone)....and a good movie.... 27/100

dutchwife Okay, so it's a different premise completely but it's been that long since a movie gave me goose-bumps like this one did.Being a mad fan of gangland flicks, this DVD won out over about half a dozen well-received big name rentals tonight and rightly so. The fight scenes are incredibly realistic, disturbingly so in some cases, the acting generally pretty good (hey, if you didn't feel for Pat or King you must be Claude Rains material)and while the plot wasn't madly intricate it certainly went in different directions than one may have expected.While there are certain folks who may find fault- my wife's more of a horror fan & her response was 'great movie...but I don't know if I get it..'- if you're into gangland movies, dark suspense or just flat-out psycho fare, you'll surely love this. Superb.

adriansmithy I am amazed at the multi-star reviews this film is getting. With 3 friends (2 guys, 1 girl) i watched this at the Edinburgh Film Festival and all of us said it was terrible. Not 'the' worst film ever but in the top 20 stinkers i have seen. Where to start? On paper it looked good, dark gritty action - according to the blurbs anyway. What we got was a film i would expect an adolescent boy and his school pals to make. The dialogue was useless, camera work & lighting were terrible, acting wooden in extreme & the characters totally unbelievable. I didn't recognise many of the people in it, but a bunch of actors from a cheap porno could have done as well. I would advise the makers of this to maybe keep the same camera angle for more than 3 seconds, instead of constant rapid fire changes. Maybe use some lights? i know its meant to be 'dark' but this is ridiculous. Also massive amounts of gunfire & death don't make up for lack of coherent storyline & bad acting. Two other problems - the bad guy is supposed to be tough? why when he is unmasked does he look like a weedy corporate lawyer? Does the suite he wears make him an ultra ninja-terminator only while he wears it? Was this deliberate? He was seriously unscarey. Secondly, Scottish accents. Americans just cant do them, please don't even try. When the main character's sidekick first spoke there were audible gasps & laughs from the audience. We turned to each other in total disbelief & amazement how this could happen in 2006? It was like Brigadoon all over again. So the summary from this 'Scotch-lander' is : don't see this unless you are a teenage gun nut who doesn't mind bad acting, poor lighting, incoherent comic book story lines, unconvincing characters & the worst Scottish accent in 50 years in your movies. Instantly forgettable a D-minus. (PS. My 3 friends would have given this an even worse review!)
