Frogs for Snakes (1998)

Rate: 1

7/08: The title of Frogs for Snakes says it all.

Trust me, this is a very, very bad film. Who the hell thought Amos Poe could direct? The acting sucks. The characters suck. The story sucks. The dialogue sucks. The direction sucks. Practically everything about the film sucks.

Almost all in the cast have probably saw the death of their Hollywood career afterwards. And I am looking at you, Debi Mazar. Every time somebody does a monologue from a film, I end up cringing hard. When John Leguizamo, after listening to Barbara Hershey, said it was the most beautiful thing he had ever heard, I just wanted to shoot him in the head right there.

The back of the VHS cover claims Frogs for Snakes is a "Tarantino," "sexy," a "neo-noir," and "stylish." Well, I can safely say that it's been none of them. For a city with at least ten million inhabitants like New York City, I find it so hard to believe that the streets are empty.

All in all, Frogs for Snakes gets my vote among worst films of the 90's.
