Mother's Day (2010)
Swiss Cheese
The only reason I gave this a 2/10 was the interaction between the daughter and doctor characters. The people who made this clearly do not understand hostage or criminal psychology, let alone have any common sense or practical knowledge of protocols observed by law enforcement. I would love to call it a coincidence to find the only 12 people on earth who may react in these ways to these situations, but I cannot find it in my faculties to convince myself it takes an entire hour and fifty minutes to present them. I dare anyone to find a nail gun without any mechanical safety measures, then, if you can find that, find me a peacekeeper of any kind who wouldn't radio in after being shot and instead proceed to present himself to the person who just shot him. I only ask, did no one out of an entire film crew suggest maybe revising the plot to make the characters and situations realistic, or even comprehensible? Did not one human, in the entire production process did no other person find it, at least, implausible? Is Scott Milam (Writer) an Inuit recluse with access only to half destroyed People magazine back issues and a Dutch dubbed copy of the 1980 film Mother's Day? In it circles does one find the financing to make something as awful as this when it: A) isn't even culturally, artistically, or socially relevant or B) is a movie someone already wasted their money on 30 years prior? I am off-put by all remakes. Sequels are bad enough, but just making the same movie twice is abhorrent and despicable, especially when one doesn't have the ability or resources to improve it. Watch anything else. Please. Reruns of Webster, a local theater production of Nell, your clock for 1 hour and 50 minutes. ANYTHING else.
