13 Hours in a Warehouse = 1 Hour, 30 Minutes of Cliched Suckage

Yeah, I like to watch movies, did I mention that?  The problem is, I’ve seen a lot, so I continually seek out movies I have not seen, or heard of.  Because of THAT, I usually end up watching quite a few horrible movies.  Look, I try to watch a movie for what it is, you know?  I’m not some snooty critic and I don’t discriminate when it comes to genres – I’m game for whatever.  I do know a bad movie when I see one though, so let me just tick off a few bullet points on why this movie should be avoided (or if you must, at least you know what you’re getting yourself into):

• Limited number of sets.  Most of the action takes place in a single room.  This usually isn’t a deal breaker if the acting is solid…
• The acting is sub-par.  The conversations feel very scripted evoking memories of Clerks or Reservoir Dogs, except in this case the dialogue isn’t witty, it’s just trying to be.  Toss in a few awkward moments of silence and weird, seemingly meaningful looks at one another and, well… It’s just not working.
• Production value, specifically the special effects, is pretty low as well.

So, taken all together, this movie doesn’t have a lot going for it.  Are there moments?  To be sure, but nothing you haven’t seen already (and done better at that).

If you have time to waste or happen to catch it on cable, you could do a lot worse.  Ultimately though, you aren’t doing yourself any favors either.
