Review of The Broken

The Broken (2008)
1/10
Save your time and money
7 August 2010
Let me be succinct here, people. Disregard all the reviews here that gush about the "gorgeous imagery" or fanciful camera-work, good acting, or "style" of this movie. You don't have to be a genius to see that the bottom line is that this movie is the victim of a horrible (or nonexistent) screenwriter and a director who was either struggling through some kind of addictions whilst filming or simply so wrapped up in being "artistic" that he completely forgot to TELL THE STORY!

The ending is one of those where the screen goes black, and you pray that the credits won't start to roll, and then--to your absolute horror, you see, "cast" slowly emerging from the bottom of the screen as you scream "HUH?! I DON'T GET IT!!!??"

One last parting shot--the sound editor should get his hearing professionally checked, as what passes for a soundtrack in this movie will almost blow your TV's speakers out if you have the volume loud enough to even hear the minimal dialog.

A total waste of time and money except for film students who want to see how NOT to direct a successful film.
