Painful

I went to this movie because i have been a long time fan of Tony Todd and Jeffrey Combs. They had two of the smallest roles in the film. The film was poorly written and poorly directed. I can sit back and watch a stupid movie if it is entertaining, but this one wasn't. I had to fight sleep in the theater. I didn't expect much from Bokeem Woodbine so i was not disappointed with him. Cynda Williams was dreadful. I would have to say that she delivers one of the worst performances I have ever seen. Joseph Lindsey was the only enjoyable part. His performance was hilarious, and yet he has gone on to do nothing else. So in short if you are thinking of seeing this movie, it would be less painful to castrate yourself.
