On the surface this has all the ingredients of being a fairly impressive TVM since it's directed by Jean De Segonzac who's best known for his work on gritty TV dramas like OZ and HOMICIDE: LIFE ON THE STREET and does contain several well known names in the cast like Sam Waterston , Ice-T and Tony Musante . The basic bones of the story featuring a dead prostitute along with a subplot involving a bent cop on the inside does sound interesting but to be blunt EXILED is very disappointing
Much of the blame lies at the feet of the director De Segonzac . This type of story should mirror his previous work , it should be dark and bleak but for whatever reason everything is filmed in broad daylight which means there's a lack of atmosphere . Mind you night filming is expensive so perhaps the director didn't have much of a budget to work with in which case it's someone Else's's fault . I should also point out that despite the premise the story plays out in an entirely boring manner which could cure mild insomnia
It's not the fault of anyone from this movie but when EXILED was broadcast on my regional ITV station this morning we had to endure superimposed sign language ! I kid you not and I hope to never see this kind of distraction ever again
