Lies & Illusions (2009)

The show stops where it started. The horrible intro cartoon. Apparently they didn't have a budget to lead into the film gracefully or they took a time machine to 1962 or they needed the extra time to make the film go 90 minutes. Regardless, what a pile of crap. I've seem YouTube videos with more inspiring dialog, logic, and emotion. The entire film appears to have been filmed in a matter of days in a 1 block area. The thing they did was change the direction of the shots. I love how wounds changed shape, size, and location as the camera changed position. BTW a case of Monsters or the DT's and cameramen do not mix. perhaps the shaking camera was an homage to early Simpsons episodes. After all that we get an entertaining Matrix/Hidden Dragon moment in the Bar. It's as if they couldn't put enough crap in one film. Near the end of this travesty one can tell that Slater doesn't really care anymore and mails this bad boy in. His dialog is bad, his body just seems to not want to work in this turd of a film.One need only look at the Director of this flick, Tibor Takács to see why this is such a failure. Why he's directed such classics as Mansquito, Ice Spiders, Kraken: tentacles of the deep, and my personal favorite MEGASNAKE. How could he miss on this tripe with 2 actors that supposedly know how acting actually works? Maybe the cast just said screw it they've paid me, I cashed the check, and now I have to finish this, but I don't have to like it.

At the beginning I saw that in this movie plays Cuba Gooding Jr. and Christian Slater and I thought it's gonna be a nice movie. Then I saw the trailer of this movie and I understood that it will not be such a good movie that I suppose.It is not a good movie and I do not recommend it because I did not like it and I can tell you that it is a boring movie and not an action movie. Although one thing that I liked in this movie is the performance of Cuba Gooding Jr. as a bad guy.Finally "Lies & Illusions" is a movie to simply pass your time and nothing more.

Wow that was painful! The film style used to film this movie made this movie so cheesy! Almost looks like a 70's style film... What a disappointment for Cuba & Christian. What where they thinking? They must be so embarrassed! The girls were very pretty and their fight scene was one of the best girl fights that I've seen. Even the cars weren't that great for being made in 2009. The airplane part was the kicker for me. LAME! I wish this sight showed how much money each actor got paid for their part. It would explain a lot.... I hope Christian does something better in the future. I've always like him especially in the Mob movie he did in the 90's. Christian plays a good sexy bad guy. I've always wondered why he isn't in more films. Oh well, I've heard all actors have at least one movie their not proud of.

I can't believe Cuba Downey Jr. would stoop this low. Even Slater who is not a great actor to begin with, but has some charm, was absolutely awful in this flick. One of the most annoying aspects of this waste-of-time was the music in the background. What was that?I admit the first 15 min I thought it was going somewhere, but in not time it was clear it was time to pull the plug.The premise wasn't all that bad. A typical action/suspense plot were a husband does not know the true identity of his wife. But everything about it was wrong. You won't know how bad the movie is, until you've invested a good 15 to 20 minutes. The fighting scenes were ridiculous and Slater's bad acting just aggravated the situation.
