Nice try, but no

Interesting premise and I liked the retro design of the game itself, but they just didn't have the budget or the writing to pull this off effectively. The characters are painfully unlikable in the beginning, but get more tolerable once the story actually starts. There are some acceptable effects occasionally, but nothing particularly noteworthy.

Mostly it just seems like they didn't know what to do past the premise. It gets repetitive, starts to drag on, and really falls apart at the end. I've seen much, much worse, and I don't think this is so bad that I'd say "avoid it at all costs", but I wouldn't recommend that anyone go out of their way to see it either. It's a 4 or 5 out of 10 at best.

Also, you'd think at least one person involved in this production would have known that shotguns don't shoot rifle bullets. Who the hell doesn't know how shotguns work??
