Right, well I was lured in to watching the 2014 thriller "Way of the Wicked" from the cover, as it seemed fairly interesting. And Christian Slater is a fair enough actor, so I figured that since I hadn't already seen "Way of the Wicked", of course I would do so.
Well, I should perhaps have taken heed of the movie's rather low rating here on IMDb, because it is a clear indicator of what you're actually in for here, when you sit down to watch what writer Matthew Robert Kelly and director Kevin Carraway has to offer.
The storyline told in "Way of the Wicked" is rather pointless, and provided me with next to no entertainment. And I managed to endure just about an hour of the ordeal before I had to turn off the movie, as the self-inflicted torment was just becoming too unbearable. Yeah, the movie is pretty terrible.
The acting performances in "Way of the Wicked" were not great. I mean, you have Vinnie Jones in the leading role, and he isn't expect carved from acting material now is he? And Christian Slater, while having great movies to his resume, felt like he was just running on auto-pilot here.
Visually then "Way of the Wicked" was adequate. I mean, you're not in for a grand spectacle of special effects. And whatever special effects was used served the movie well enough. It was fair enough for what it was.
All in all, this movie was not really worth the time or effort. Nor is it a movie that I will ever return to finish watching, simply because the storyline was too mundane, and the character gallery had zero appeal.
My rating of "Way of the Wicked" lands on a three out of ten stars.
