A billionaire’s wife is abducted. Now, he is forced to play a game where getting his wife back is the prize…eight hours to win…only he’s never played a game like this. He calls on the only people who can help: the Armchair Combat Professionals.

The ‘Visual effects’ department that worked on this film have a lot to answer for. What is your excuse? Was it lack of proper equipment? The failure to meet your director’s deadline? On the other hand, was it possibly a lack of know how?
That made the ‘in game’ footage in this ‘movie’ look as if I designed it on my old reliable 486 computer back in 1995. I understand that this film is a low-budget independent movie, but I’m assuming that if there was a single person who was vaguely familiar with online gaming I hope they would have pointed out the unavoidable fact that the graphics of the game portrayed in the movie are crap. Moreover, that they did not come close to looking as if it could pass for being an online game that people would be willing to part with their money or even admit to playing.
Seriously, if anybody that was involved with the making of this ‘film’ could get in contact with me and explain to me why the ‘visual effects’ where so lacking and I’ll grant this film a bonus star.
Granted there were a couple of live action moments that seemed to be a little funny or even remotely interesting but it was enough to win me over. A large part of me was actually embarrassed for the actors involved with this film.
Should you ever come across the movie at your friendly neighbourhood DVD store please heed my advice and for your own good Leave it be.
