Snake Eyes: el origen

Three seasoned screenwriters came up with this sloppy and convoluted mess of a story? The two hours felt dragged out with the most cliched action/martial-arts forgettable story, that was riddled with plot and technical issues. I can't remember the last time I saw such a predictable film.

Don't get me started on the cheesy dialogue and lame attempts at humor. Director Robert Schwentke also failed to give much cohesion to the all-over-the-place script with his annoying shaky-cam and sword-cut editing, as well as his (mostly) migraine-inducing action scenes. He tried too hard - and failed to make this a blockbuster, instead of the B grade action film it was.

Henry Golding as Snake-Eyes lacked the action-hero presence and was about as convincing as Clint Eastwood as a stand-up comedian. The rest of the casting and performances were decent, but the only redeeming quality of this film was the amazing production sets and costumes. It's a generous 6/10 from me.
