Review of Snapped

Snapped (2005 Video)
1/10
Unrelenting, Uncompromising, Unforgettable????
12 June 2005
I am in no way attempting to troll here, but in the spirit of showing an opposing view, I must say that this movie, in no way, is any of the following: Unrelenting, Uncompromising nor Unforgettable." One of the problems with a movie that takes itself oh-so-seriously is the fact that the audience can too plainly see that fact. "Snapped," from the opening scenes up to the very end, just seemed to shout "Hey, this is a SERIOUS movie. Arty stuff here, dontcha know... You'd better appreciate it." Hey, let the audience think for themselves, OK? While this movie was not bad, it was not altogether good either. Just because a film looks polished doesn't mean that it's a good movie (unfortunately, U.S. audiences are prone to falling for Style over Substance....). The best looking movie in the world will still suffer if it is peopled with actors/actresses who can't act and/or not having a story worth telling or told in a way that makes it worth watching (i.e. no pretentious dialogue.. who speaks like this???).

Of course, it the filmmakers are just trying to make a buck...... well, never mind this post!

Bottom Line: In my opinion (and yes, we all have one), this was not "an experience!" It was merely a movie that tried too hard to come across as "an art film." No pun intended...
