Hybrid

Recommendations for movies come from all over the place. Often by the time I actually get around to watching a film I can't remember who said it was good... or if I just added it to my list on impulse for some other reason.

So, chances are, no-one ever said that Hybrid was good. Because it isn't.

And actually, it isn't really a movie. It is a television film. Which is soon pretty clear when you notice all the terrible cuts which are there solely for the placement of frequent ad breaks.

And worse, it watches like a pilot for a series... that presumably never happened.

It has 2 redeeming features:

1) The basic idea is quite interesting.

2) It falls into that narrow gap somewhere between good and unwatchable, where the acting and staging and plot is soooooo bad that it becomes quite funny.

I particularly like the Toy Weapons And Tactics (TWAT) team who couldn't creep up on a blind and deaf person without them noticing... and couldn't hit the side of a barn with a shotgun (from the inside).

And at least it is quite short at about 80 minutes.

Quite a giggle for a once-in-a-while experience, but I really don't understand why some people subscribe to TV channels that are filled with this tosh.
