Spyware (2005) User Reviews

unwatchable

[dee0711 · 1/10 · 12 May 2008]

This short movie was supposedly made in only 48 hours, and it shows. The "filmmakers" brag about how they did it so quickly, so fast, blah, blah. Give a camcorder to a baboon for 48 hours, and believe me, you can edit whatever he shoots into a more enjoyable and coherent experience than this mess. It really looks as though someone called a few friends over and ad-libbed a "movie" in their back yard, just making it up as they went along. No two scenes really go together, the dialogue is atrocious, and the direction is below laughable. Also, what's with this one-name fad? All these untalented fools too arrogant to use the names their parents gave them? This one calls himself Ezequiel, which at least is more entertaining than Spyware.

Spyware: 48 Hours in Hell

Spyware is a film that was written, produced, directed, and edited in just 48 hours. As part of the 48 Hour Film Project, Spyware was the fifth film produced by Freak Show Entertainment. With a team put together on short notice by director Ezequiel everybody pulled together to complete the film on time. The day before we started shooting Freak Show was given the genre, character, and prop that needed to be utilized in the film. Our unique genre was SPY but everybody in the competition had to use the character of M. Munchly, a computer programmer, and a salt shaker as a prop. Thanks to producer Joseph Guzman, Freak Show was able to acquire a vast array of military props, uniforms and vehicles. With some excellent camera work and set dressing we were able to transform an overgrown vacant lot in Riverside, CA into the Jungles of South America.

Spyware received several awards for their effort including best cinematography, best editing, best sound fx and best music.

I refuse to believe this film was made in 48 hours!

The most action packed four minutes you'll ever see in four minutes. The "Go Rogue" guy kills seven people all in that amount of time. I can't recall another flick where seven people die in four minutes. It took Seven a hole two hours to kill seven people. Rambo takes out approximately that many cops in First Blood, but even then that took an hour and he didn't really kill them, just wound them. The "Go Rogue" even kills four foxes. And I don't mean fox as in the animal or Disney cartoon character voiced by Sandy Duncan that befriends a droopy eyed hound. I mean a cast of hot chicks that all die except for one. The fifth hot chick that somehow got away or for some reason just disappears after knocking the "Go Rogue" guy out with the butt of her shotgun.

I don't want to spoil the rest of the movie it is a must see.

The only thing I will say is this: The production quality of the movie is in a league of its own. The movie was written, casted, edited and scored entirely without any pre-production or concept of what the film was going to be in 48 HOURS. Unbelievable.

Go Rogue!
