If you ever wondered what it would be like to watch a trainwreck in slow motion, look no further than Murder Company. It's a cinematic catastrophe that manages to be both hilarious and tragic, often at the same time. The script must have been written on napkins during a drunken game of Mad Libs, because the dialogue is so disjointed and nonsensical that it feels like the actors are improvising half the time. Scratch that-improv would have been more coherent. Let's talk about the acting. Imagine a high school play where everyone forgot their lines and decided to wing it. Now, imagine it's a high school where no one knows how to act. Murder Company is a film that will make you appreciate the artistic merits of a blank screen. It's a disasterpiece that must be seen to be disbelieved. If you're looking for a laugh at the expense of filmmaking, gather your friends, pop some popcorn, and prepare to marvel at the sheer ineptitude on display. Just don't say I didn't warn you. I forgot to mention the magic weapons that never required reloading throughout the whole movie.

I have thought about this for a long time and will share my thoughts. There are so many low-budget war films out there and they all share the same qualities: less than 10 soldiers on each side running around a forest which could be your backyard; no wide angle or crane camera shots - everything looks like it was filmed with an iPhone; and less than riveting acting and dialogue. There are occasionally actors familiar from the 80's like Toms Berringer or Sizemore. I'm sure it is the same in all genres but I notice it most in war films. They just don't cut it. Maybe there is the odd Blair Witch low budget gem out there but I haven't found it.

Watched the first 30 minutes, then quit. The first.1 minute had a parachute drop with 101st, ok... yes that's accurate, but then the sergeant (first character) had a MP40 in has back. He meets a private with a Thompson. So if you are going to have one guy with a Thompson, why give the sergeant a German SMG? That's where it started, and it didn't get any better. Tried to give characters a backstory, with some dialogue about 'what would you do if you weren't in the war" and answer was "well I wouldn't be here that's for sure!". Come on... if you want to spend time on development, give them something the audience can relate to.
