Live Feed (2006)

Summary: Darren and his 4 friends are out for some fun in Chinatown. What they realize is, not everything that happens here is something they’re used to. And soon they’re gonna piss off the wrong person and be in the wrong place at he wrong time. And only bad things can come of it.           Overall: I will cut other reviewers some slack...the film can start off confusing in regards to the “location” of the events. It pretends to be some country in Asia but when everyone speaks English, everything is written in English and in fact there’s like no foreign language to be found, it gets dismissed quite fast what the deal is. But I will say...that confusion then allows for some disappointment since frankly, I can’t buy these events occurring as is, in Chinatown in any American or Canadian city. In China? Sure. Chinatown, Los Angeles, uh no!           The film can be intense and shocking for the most part. But there’s always something that makes the viewer lose the intensity. The ropes are too loose, the bodysuit is too visible, loose tape that’s so obviously loose and then so obviously fixed seconds later in a different shot. The film is relatively good but has just enough inconsistencies to not live up to its potential. Nothing special in the alternate or deleted scenes other than additional topics that were rightly cut.           Comparison: Hostel meets EuroTrip
