Watch it only if you're looking to atone for your sins.

This must be one of the worst movies I have ever attempted to watch, with a disastrous combination of poor acting, direction, and production quality that makes it a challenge to sit through. From the very start, it becomes evident that the filmmakers failed to grasp the basics of movie-making. The acting is atrociously unconvincing, with performances so wooden and devoid of emotion that it's hard to believe the characters are anything but poorly manipulated puppets.

The direction is equally lackluster, with scenes clumsily stitched together, lacking any semblance of narrative flow or coherence. It's as if the director gave up midway and just let the camera run, hoping for something magical to happen - it doesn't. Moreover, the cast seems entirely disengaged, bringing no depth or believability to their roles, making it impossible to connect with or care about any of them.

The production set, especially the lawyer's office, is laughably inadequate. Imagine a legal drama where the main setting is an empty office with two barren desks and a couple of phones pretending to represent a bustling lawyer's workspace. This lack of attention to detail pulls you out of the experience, making it hard to take any part of the film seriously.

I couldn't bear more than the first 30 minutes before I had to leave the theater, overwhelmed by the sheer incompetence displayed in every aspect of the film. It's a movie that fails not only to entertain but even to meet the basic standards of professional filmmaking.
