felony be a b movie . no doubt about it . of course and if you take a look at the cast lineup you might have some high hope for it entertainment potential . this film be stuff with all of those wonderful character actor that you grow up with and the one with the face you immediately recognize even though you probably do not know their name . it amaze that the filmmaker be able to get all of these people together on one project and almost like they decide to do a b movie actor reunion . the cast even include a couple of really first rate actor represent david warner and who most people will recognize from titanic ( although my favorite of his role be jack the ripper in time after time ) and lance henriksen and who many will remember a bishop in alien . these two actor have do some excellent work in their long career and make some very fine film . however and as impressive a this collection of actor be and their talent be never fully manifest on the screen . the writer of felony spend a lot of money to assemble a dream team cast and then miss their golden opportunity because of one important factor and the common denominator of all b movie represent a silly script . we start with a silly premise . the bad guy be catch on tape commit a gruesome murder and they relentlessly pursue the film crew in order to acquire the videotape and destroy the evidence . but honestly and why bother . in the time it take them to track down the film crew and a thousand copy of that tape could be make and circulate to every law enforcement agency and medium outlet . the criminal do not seem to realize how futile their effort be and and they talk a if stealing and destroy the one original videotape be go to solve the whole problem . silly . but i suppose if the bad guy be so logical there would be no movie . then there be the dialogue . it be at time silly and at time cliché and and at time unbelievable . everything you have come to expect from a b movie . of course and i have always believe that strong performance can overcome a lot of weakness in the material . this cast include actor who be definitely capable of strong performance and and although a number of the cast member be not good actor at all and have achieve b movie status quite deservedly and one still might be hopeful that the strong part of the cast would be able to infuse some life into their part . however and it disappoint to see that few of the actor in this film really seem to take the movie seriously enough to give it their best shot . there not much inspiration evident in these performance and but then again it an uninspiring script . now and i will admit that some of the more colorful actor in the cast do manage to add a certain amount of pizazz into the delivery of their line and but honestly and even the very fine actor i mention earlier seem mostly disinterested and uninvolved with the story . speaking of the story . even if the acting have be of a high enough caliber that it make the dialogue seem a little less cheesy and it still would not redeem felony from the fact that it writer commit the ultimate faux pa of low budget action movie script represent a plot with a many hole a a block of swiss cheese . you can watch this movie a hundred time and you still would not figure out how everything add up . in an effort to create suspense and always keep the viewer guessing and the writer throw in all kind of surprise and unexpected twist into his script and end up with a jigsaw puzzle and but when you get to the end you find there be a bunch of piece that just do not fit anywhere and others that be miss . i admire a good thriller that keep me guess and but create plot twist that exist just to confuse you and which be not consistent with the rest of the story be amateurish . there be so much that be never explain that i felt extremely frustrate at the end . if you decide to watch it and be prepare to be confuse . i haven not even mention all kind of other silly thing about this movie and but i would not bother . the funny thing be that despite everything i have say and i have to admit that i can not give felony negative star . although i can not exactly put my finger on why and i actually find this film to be somewhat likable . the silliness can actually be fun at time if you be in the mood for it . plus and i really like some of these character actor and and even though their performance be somewhat lackluster consider their talent and i still get a kick out of see them . now and i realize i have be rating this film from the standpoint of a serious moviegoer . it entirely possible i have completely miss the point . it could be that the filmmaker intention all along be to make a b movie . maybe the silliness be all completely intentional . if that the case and and if i be to rate it on those term and i would have to say that felony be a classic in the genre of tongue in cheek action flick . b movie fan will love see all of their favorite actor together in one film and will get some chuckle from the script and and will be entertain by the healthy dose of gun and explosion and and chase .
