Review of Fix

Fix (I) (2008)
4/10
A Truly Amateurish Attempt
25 April 2009
I suppose the "shaky camera" style is there to add a sense of realism. Well, it doesn't. It just makes you think your watching a high school project that was made with the parents Handycam. The entire movie is shot from the storyteller's Point Of View, which is very hard to do well, and in this case it isn't. (Try any episode of Peep Show to see this technique done well). Also annoying was the preposterous situations. Like drug dealers supposedly being "cool" with video taping the transaction and many more like this. The minor characters were almost universally unbelievable and very poorly acted. Most of the dialogue was sparse, uninteresting, and unrealistic.

Shawn Andrews is the bright spot and adds a professional touch to an otherwise puerile film.
