Dead on Arrival

Watched it because of the high rating, then I realised it was obviously the cast and crew artificially bumping the IMDB score up.

Very average movie all around from actors, casting, premise, dialogue, setting, story progression etc etc

Not worth a watch unless you are really bored!

Not so original storyline but good cast and funny punchlines.

Loved the locations! Man in the boat was probably the most Louisiana relatable character.

Im a fan of the original DOA, the 1950 one. There's nothing like the original really but it kept my interest. I laughed a few times at the bumbling gangsters and DB Sweeney. I thought for an indi it was well done. The swamp shots brought me back... i lived in New orleans for 2 years. Nice camera work and music.

If there is one thing certain about the reviews for this movie is that the people that scored it the highest possible are members of the staff that worked on this movie, or at least know somebody that did. Dead On Arrival is just an average movie. The story could have been something if they had put a bit more effort into it. But what brings this movie really down is the acting. Poor if not mediocre, that is the least you can say. The movie starts good though, with some intriguing things happening, but the more you get to the end of it the more you can see that at one point they didn't care that much anymore about making a good movie. So to me it had potential but in the end it failed due to a lack of talent and bad acting.
