Perfect Hideout (2009)

What can I say, the story isn't so bad actually. The problem is that it's just too short for a whole movie. So 75 percent is useless conversations to stretch the movie. The acting is also very very bad. No emotion at all. It's not as if I'm looking at a movie, but looking at a very bad theater performance from some amateurs who would like to make their own movies. The overall sound is also quite weak. Somebody dubbed the wrong sound effect to make it sound better, but it just gets more unrealistic. The picture quality doesn't look like it is shot on film. I'm even wondering if this movie is shot with a VHS recorder? Don't waste your time on this movie, I regret watching this one...

In my opinion this is a worst movie ever. Plot is good but the acting destroys everything. The only thing worse than actors in this movie is the level of reality. I mean come on. The girl gets shot with sniper rifle and barely notices it.And after an hour of SWAT team trying to break in the house some white collar walks in thought front door with a Barrett in his hand and shoots both criminals.First 30 minutes of this movie I was waiting for action to begin and then suddenly I figured out that basically that's it. It's just pathetic. In what other movie did you see the main characters worrying about their relationship with SWAT team on one side and serial killer on the other.

If you attempted to take this movie seriously at any point from start to finish, then you were sorely mistaken. It was never ending hilarity at every turn! I think the best part for me was that the movie was supposed to be set in Germany, but the only person in the entire film sporting a German accent was Billy Zane when he was faking one. In fact, the supposed German police force was almost entirely American. Even "Nadine," the daughter of the German banker/political bigwig, spoke with a British accent. The whole premise of Zane killing families because they argue was priceless. Maybe the crowning moment was when "Nick" kept referring to poor "Nadine," who just witnessed the brutal murder of her entire family, as weird and creepy. My knee is still red from all the slappin!

Billy Zane must really be feeling the pinch if he has to take movies like this! I can't remember that last time I saw acting this bad. Zane, himself was not too bad BUT the other two, and especially "Nick" was appalling. Its not an original plot, and there was an opportunity here to make an exciting film.....but failed! Initially, I had no idea of the country this was supposed to be set in....mainly because the actors accents were all over the place. The police, or whoever they were meant to be came across as a mercenary outfit led by an American. It was all too "make believe", completely ruined by atrocious acting.If you have nothing better to watch, then be advised......this will disappoint.
