  1. Damn, next time you need a camera man, leave Vince Barnett at home. The slapstick makes me wish that he had been edited out. Same deal with the movie Bank alarm.

  2. I can see a brilliant idea and story-line screaming to be produced; but it doesn't happen here. There's too much of a combination of incompetence and lack of money. Bad camera work, bad lighting, bad sound recording, bad editing, bad directing, and the one thing that can save a picture, isn't there……..brilliant acting. The only redeeming quality of this film, is Eleanor Hunt's bright, aggressive and overachieving character. She's the sole draw of energy in a production that falls way too short of expectations. LOL!!!! "You were creased with a bullet"

  3. Yes…leaving the camera man out of the movie would have allowed plot to be interesting. I suppose he had the right names or was co-operative on the casting couch. I liked the passion of the switchgirl…reminds me of my well spent youth.
