Title: Handlheld Camera style has no place in a motion picture
Review: The only problem with this movie is the use of handheld camera. Home movie usually lasts 5-10 minutes and the jerking is acceptable. A motion picture like this lasts over an hour. The constant jerking, fast pan & scan, zooming too close, etc. makes me feel nauseous.A good director tells a story thru the movie. You do not need any camera tricks. Those jerking around becomes a major distraction.One way to watch this movie is to close your eyes occassionally and just listen to the dialogue... won't miss much.Too bad with such a strong cast and good story line, what could have been a good movie was spoiled by poor camera trick.
