50 Cent- Get Up (Dir: The Brothers Strausse)
Inspired by "I Am Legend"
'A' for Atmosphere, 'C' for a cocked up concept, and a 'D-' for damn near indecipherable direction.
It looked nice but it was shot in far too many close-ups that didn't let me feel the 'world' the Bros. had created for 50 and most frustratingly it felt like it was about absolutely nothing.
I could've spent the last 3 minutes pouring Dr. Pepper and salt into my eyes and gotten as much out of the time. Was there anything intellectual happening at all in that myopia-utopia or was the entire thing just a drawn out action-thrill jerk session?
Feck!

I think it's rather good, basically. It is hugely irritating that having resuscitated the woman her response is so old-school R&B-vid - I was almost buying the Omega Man line until then. As for jerkycam, I've becoming inured via Bourne and Cloverfield.
