Lift (1997)
What a turkey, Don't waste your time.
I picked this up in my local library. Thank God I didn't pay to rent it. It's a shame I can't get my time back. I kept hoping the story would develop and take an interesting turn. No such luck. The topic has the potential. The cast probably could have done better if they had been given something, anything to work with. I'm left wondering if this film got made because somebody lost a bet. Maybe if I was drunk or stoned it wouldn't have mattered that there is nothing of value here. Perhaps most telling, if you do a search on IMDb, you'll be hard pressed to find out anything about the cast. I guess they're all too embarrassed about being in this bomb. Spend your time more productively by say, watching paint dry.
All or Nothing (2002)
Don't waste your time.
If you're looking for a real downer, this is it. I've enjoyed Timothy Spall's work in other movies but, "All or Nothing" left me cold. His acting here, as a total loser, is very believable. I did have sympathy for Penny (the mother) and even for Rachel (the daughter) who, because they worked so hard, deserved more. Fnding myself hoping that the son would die is not what I want to get out of a movie. If the mother and or daughter would have left to make a better life, then this movie would have had some redeeming quality. If this is anywhere close to a true representation of life in England today, then Great Britain is well on its way to becoming a Third World nation. I've rated this movie as a "1" only because there's no lower number to assign. Again, don't waste your time and, for God's sake, don't pay any money to rent this turkey.
