Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Surveillance (2009)

Special agents come to nowheresville to question some witnesses and the local authorities about a few murders.

I always hate depictions of people in positions of trust taking advantage of others, so the fact that there were cops messing around with motorists by shooting out their tires was enough to make me clench my jaw. But turning those stops into full-on "all in good fun" assault made me pretty ragey. And those horrid traffic stops looked like small potatoes by the time the credits rolled.

The movie was, in all, just ugly. There's a twist, but you'll see it coming a mile away if you bother to watch it for any length of time.

In a word, "ick."
