A Lure: Teen Fight Club Movie Review
After a group of
teenagers go missing, an undercover cop (Jessica Sonneborn, also the co-writer
and one of the producers of the film) is sent to a high school 21 Jump Street style to protect the girls. Soon
after she arrives, a rave is planned, but a shady janitor switches the
invitations to lead the girls to another location, where another kind of secret
party awaits them. This 2010 film has an interesting premise, but it seriously
lacking in every way. The acting is some of the worst you can imagine. The
writing is atrocious. The characters are one-dimensional, and not a single one
is even remotely likable--you wait the entire film for them to start getting
killed off, but alas, this best we get is this...
Teens? Not quite
Yeah, the girls all
appear to be at least in their mid-twenties, if not pushing thirty. The
continuity errors are hilarious. The dialogue is so bad you may have to dumb
yourself down considerably to withstand it--honestly, of all the things that
are terrible in this movie, the dialogue may be the worst thing about it. The
directing and camera work may make you feel nauseous at times. IMDb states this
movie had a three million dollar budget--where that money went is anybody's
guess--this movie looks like it was made for under a hundred thousand. There is
one unintentional laugh out loud moment that ALMOST makes this movie worth
watching--toward the end of the film, the cop who comes t save the day stands
probably sixty feet and at a down angle from a guy with a knife to a girl's
throat. Without hesitation, and with dead eye accuracy, the cop shoots the man
in the head. Mere moments later, the same cop comes upon another guy (the
"surprise" bad guy that will surprise nobody paying even a minimal
amount of attention to this movie) with a knife to another girl's throat--this
time the cop is maybe ten feet away, standing level with the guy, but instead
of shooting with the confidence he just had to kill the other guy, he takes the
bad guy's order to drop the gun...and then kicks the gun to him! Incredible. If
you're hoping for an ending that will make the last 92 minutes of your life
worth living, forget about it--the ending is just as awful as the rest of the
film. This is the first movie I have watched from a 15 movie box set collection
from Echo Bridge my girlfriend got me for Christmas last year.
This collection, to be exact
This movie is so bad that
the other 14 movies in this collection MUST be better...right?
On A Scale Of One To Ten: 2
