Rough Draft

Fantastic film. I'm a big fan of Arnold Vosloo from his movies Hard Target/The Mummy. Here he puts on a menacing performance. Though this film lacks in depth, it more than makes it up with its fast paced thrills. Overall I've watched this film twice now and enjoyed every minute of it. Gary Busey as always puts his heart and soul into his roles, whatever movie he's in. Welcome to see the classy Michael Madsen in this, though his role is more of a cameo. The rest of the cast are outstanding and carry the movie well.

I got this movie mainly because Arnold Vosloo was in it and I wanted to see him in something other than a loin cloth for a change. I certainly wasn't disappointed in his performance in this. He really seemed to put himself in this role to chilling effect. **************Spoiler Warning******************* (Hope I don't give too much away) A writer (Busey) is attempting to get through a dry spell by researching a particular subculture and stumbles across an interesting case subject (Vosloo). It's only after following him that the writer finds out he might have gotten in for more than he bargained for. It's a race against time and patience as the writer seeks both the story and 'the right thing'. **************End Spoilers******************* It may not be the 'thriller of the decade' but it is pretty decent. The plot was reasonably good, the villain chilling and credible. It's something you might expect to see on a Saturday Afternoon Horror movie feature nowadays. It's certainly worth renting and I bought it mainly because I like such movies.

Well what can i say about a movie with so many cliches. I bought ex-rental video because i collect Michael Madsen films. When i watched it i was very dissapointed with the acting. Especially Gary Busey was so terrible. Michael's performance wasn't too good either. The only actor that did surprise me was Arnold Vosloo(also known from"the mummy"). He plays a very disturbed man who has it in for brunettes. Unfortunately for Vosloo, the storyline is so predictable and boring. In another serialkiller movie who could have been very special. I expect that Arnold Vosloo could appear in similar films, hopefully with a better script.

I thought this was going to be a somewhat decent film about a serial killer and how his/her mind works....YAWN! I couldn't even finish watching the film. It's hard to believe that Gary Busey once was nominated for an Oscar. Now he's doing this garbage.

I bought this film for £1 from my local supermarket. It was hugely over priced. Despite featuring 3 fairly established Hollywood actors (Gary Busey, Michael Madsen and Arnold Vosloo) the acting is so excruciatingly bad it often seems like a tongue in cheek comedy sketch. The director must have been a functioning alcoholic or drug addict to think the script was i anyway feasible and to apparently not notice the laughably poor standard of acting. This is genuinely one of the worst films ever written, directed or acted in. Another reviewer states that the film is so bad it is almost funny. Fair enough, but I can't (as he can) watch it twice a week. Because I would vomit into my own mouth over and over.

I don't know why everyone is so harsh towards this movie. I saw this movie really late at night on one of the "premium" channels, and by the end my side hurt from all the laughing. Often time one is reminded of a modern day Ed Wood with this films script and production values. As I don't want to ruin any of the film for you, I would be remissed if I didn't mention how funny the scene where Gary Busey's character is running through the streets. As mentioned by another, the scene is done with a stand in, in a ridiculous wig. The scene was shot totally guerilla style during some sort of nighttime festival on the streets of a very "New Orleanish" city. Basically the standin in the wig runs into various groups of people while Busey's voice is dubbed in yelling things. This was sort a high point for the film when its truth was laid out there for all to see.If you can imagine how funny this scene would be then this film might hold some value to you.

Gary Busey is one of those actors who have some great performances in decent-to-good-films but who also, from time to time, have mediocre performances in c-movies. Rough Draft definitely qualifies for the latter category. The serial killer is omnipotent yet more annoying than scary, and the story twist in the end is one of the worst I've seen in a long time and Wild Things is still fresh in my memory... Do I have to say more?

I have one thing to say about this movie, and that is: I saw a murder.............THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED!!! This line is the greatest line performed by any actor in any film ever made. I suggest renting this movie if only for this one scene. Nothing even comes close.

My girlfriend and i decided to rent this film on DVD one night, the cover catching my eye, especially as it namechecks the excellent 'seven'......Imagine then my horror as we watched the most dreadful, poorly acted, cheesy film ever made unfold before our eyes. My girlfriend instantly fell in love with the appalling acting of MR GARY BUSEY, who has now become a cult figure in our homes. The acting in this film really is second to none, BUSEY being the main culprit, for example the moment were the idiot looks lovingly across the street at his girlfriend, with a big cheesy grin on his face, and the way he reacts to a serial killer as if his granny had popped round for tea. There are also blatant errors in the film, like the fake plastic bottle, AND most unforgivingly the moment were Stefan (vosloo) hits Nelson (busey) with a dummies arm, and once he is knocked on the floor Busey is replaced by a stand in, WITH A TERRIBLE BLONDE WIG ON, it is so obviously not busey, why did they need a stand in for him laying on the floor? and also the is a busey stand in running through the crowd moments earlier......other highlights include.........Busey's reaction when he hears stefan on the phone (priceless).......Busey's silly giggle at the end......when busey dresses as a woman to get past the cops, and the realize its him, so they get in the car and drive off in the opposite direction instead of running round the corner to get him.......My girlfriend and i went and bought the film on DVD and now watch it a couple of times a week......dreadful film but its so bad you gotta get it....LONG LIVE GARY BUSEY
