The actors did the best they could with a REALLY spotty script. It's... It's not good writing. It's not good plotting. It's not good pacing. The dialogue is passable.

What I don't understand is why the producer or the director or the actors or their agents - why no one forced a rewrite. It's not a coherent screenplay.

I finished it. It's intriguing enough to finish, but it was... it felt like when you eat something despite not liking it because it's so alien, so nearly right but perverted in a direction that doesn't exist in our universe, that you can't stop.
