Review of The Crew

The Crew (2008)
4/10
Oh dear, its so hit and miss its untrue

Warning: Spoilers
Well this is just a bit of a mess really i mean it starts out OK and then parts bore you to to tears then it picks up a bit and gets more interesting and then its back to boredom for a while this happens about 6 times in the duration of the film.

Its half hour too long with some horrible filler in there, the scene with the down syndrome smack head being forced into giving one of the gangsters a blow job turned my stomach and was totally uncalled for, also the savage beating given out by ratter to the female smackhead who was giving him head just serves to make you look forward to him meeting his demise. Also where he creates a scene at the barbecue in front of everyone openly talking about being a criminal and wanting more work is just there to really make you hate the character and continue watching just to see him get whacked.

The main character jed swore more times than is humanly possible making up for his small size with a big mouth, its hard to take him seriously as the leader when he is about 9 stone wet through and looks about as intimidating as Michael owen.

As the film came to a close and we see jed on his way to take revenge on the con artists who tricked him and his wife (the con artists wife seduced jeds wife into a lesbian affair which was very unbelievable and just further served to interest the 18-22 year old intended audience) i thought oh ill enjoy this scene seeing him kill the con artists who milked him for over 100k, then the film ends without showing us this scene and giving closure, this annoyed me.

All in all worth a watch only if you really have nothing else better.
