I wanted to watch this film to see if it was really as bad as everyone had reviewed. However, I could not watch it for more than 30 minutes because the camera was never still. It was as if I was watching a home video. The scenes were very shaky and extremely zoomed in- leaving out important side information. Even during scenes filmed in a hospital, there was excessive camera movement. I would compare this film to episodes of the Power Rangers from the late 90's. Sometimes the words that the actors were saying did not match up with their lips. They attempted to intensify parkour/freerunning action shots by shaking the camera.

So I am going to regret saying this. But even Uwe Boll is making better movies. Blasphemy! I know. I did say I was going to regret saying that. When watching the movie I was not really expecting much.But this being about free running I was expecting some decent stunts. If there was some free running involved I barely could make out what was happening because one of the gimmicks was the use of a shaky cam. Whose brilliant idea was that. People not knowing anything about free running must get the wrong impression about this extreme sports. As not single shot shows what free running really is. To top it of they mix in a Battle Royale game and Danny Dyer overacting like he never did before. Seriously I did give this movie a chance. But everything about it is just plain horrible.Avoid!

These reviews are awesome, almost as entertaining as the movie! And you know what - they're right! This movie blows!! Me away!! You have to see it to believe it and I'm telling you, you won't be sorry. It's so entertaining even if it's not intentional. It's everything the cruddy reviews say and more and I love it!! I want to host my my own Mystery Science Theater 3000 in my backyard with this movie, and have people shout out the ridiculous dialogue not to mention the psychotic accents from where is the lead girl from!!!?? Russia? Israel? Borneo?? So these explosive collars by the way, where did they get these at PetCo? And the explosions and the Texan rich dude with the George W. accent "their heads look like exploding watermelons". Or when the blonde flashes her ta-tas at the soon to be dead freerunners: "these are the last ones you'll ever see" and the nerd freerunner goes: "and the first!" Come on people that's so bad it's good. And the action is pretty non-stop after the snooze fest but still hilarious opening. And the freerunning is, well it's not good, but then it sort of is, but filmed horribly! These guys tried to make 2 million dollars look like 100 million and they made it look like 2 dollars. Still, I don't care - I seriously love this movie!! 8 stars. What can I say, I was pretty drunk when I saw this, maybe that helped.
