Kane

First off clearly this is not good. No way around that. The highlight here is the opening credits. The music totally has you pumped up and then its all nothing from there on out. Literally the high point is the opening credits. What went wrong here.. well, the cast looked proper. They cast them ok. The tough gangster mobster dudes fit in. They can't act but they should not have to act. See this was supposed to be a mobster action fighting movie... What it turned out to be was stupid dialogue (remember the part about acting) and it buried itself. It tried to be too smart for its own good and collapsed hard. You have a bunch of muscled up angry looking dudes and what do you do with them.. well, have them play dialogue instead of punching stuff. Total fail and waste of your time. 2\10 because i enjoy horrible dialogue from body builders.

I really wanted to like this film. It had a great premise, was shot in my hometown (so I got to see quite a few local places I recognised) and featured some great Aussie actors from our tv screens over the past 10 years. But it just didn't make sense. I feel it would have been much better had the way it was told been more straightforward with a twist at the end explaining the multiple personality thing (like in Identity). Having the story told to the cops in a flashback/voiceover type of way just removed all tension because you already knew most of what was going on. Scenes like the driver getting away from the cops when he's driving a sports car with a fancy paint job and personalised plates just didn't seem likely. It felt like another one of these movies where the director wants to get noticed early on in their career so they do weird things to get noticed instead of just making a decent straight forward film. With a runtime of 80 minutes it actually seemed to drag on a bit and there was a distinct lack of action considering the movie poster.

First of all, I almost skip Kane coz it was a Saban Film production and they only produces B-Movie grade films. A new director debut of Blair Moore who wrote and directed Kane, he tried to overcome the limitations by leaving clues everywhere. It was annoying to wait for the answer because I could guess who was who, but the last answer stiched everything together and answered the unanswered. The 4 actors who played the main characters did well, especially Jeremy Lindon Taylor who played Abe and got the most closed up of all the characters. Jake Ryan who played Lane did very good for a stoic murderous assassin for hire, Martin Dingle Wall played Richard, the cheating husband, was convincingly as the least liked character and assassination target, and Beau Jones who played Ghost who got interrogated by the police showed his confusion. The other skip scene was whwre the family went? Disappeared or just an imagination of this multiple personalities plagued man? Watch it, it's woeth the money and time. I believe Blair Moore has the potential to make a more complicated film in the future.

The first time I've watched this movie I missed the first 5 minutes and I thought it was good , far stretched but still passable for the ''morale ending,'' aka you can't just ''be the driver'' if you hang out with criminals talking the talk wont do it on the long run. After re-watching it in it's entirety , it just doesn't add up. If you miss the first 5 minutes and think all the personages are different people the movie make sens and there is a twist at the end , you discover the main character Abe is actually Kane but him being also Richard just ruins it all. I'm giving it a six stars because I actually enjoyed it the first time and if it wasn't for that advertised DID crap I would have given it 7 or 8 but it's only worth 5 stars at best.
