film noire be a genre that require a certain level of tact and cleverness and intellect and and imagery . this movie have none of that and though they really try hard with the imagery . it the kind of movie that your cousin marky the dump truck driver and who always talk about how he go to make it big in the movie someday and would make . the dialogue be wooden and lifeless . the visuals and while obviously expensive to make and be the work of a director who have try to be clever and fail miserably due to a severe lack in cerebral ability . the act range from sub par to just plain bad . the story might have be salvage by a real writer and director and but i suspect that such people would not have touch it with a barge pole . about 1/4 of the way through and i noticed strike similarity with the scene in sim0ne where viktor and desperate to be rid of his actress and make the world bad movie . i figure i would check imdb to see if a similar effect have occur in this movie and and to my surprise it have . i would almost be tempt to give a negative just because it expose the pretentious groupie and but i would not . it that bad .
