Watch Postmortem For Free

The Worst Film Ever

Simply A Masterpiece

Highly Overrated But Still Good

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

As a Scot, I was pleased to see various locations in and around Glasgow as the setting for this movie. However, despite the setting, I am certain that this shall remain one of the worst examples of film-making that I will ever have to endure.The worst thing about this truly atrocious movie is surprisingly not the woeful acting performances, with an appalling Charlie Sheen at the front of the line; nor indeed is it the very poorly written script. Both aspects are beaten to that title by Charlie Sheen's desperate attempts to be regarded as a serious actor by simply going under the name of Charles Sheen.Next time, Mr. Sheen would be better to focus on giving a performance with at least some depth and emotion which the audience could connect with. Many a poorly scripted film is saved by one or two stand out performances. Sadly, only Glasgow delivered on this one, with Mr. Sheen's performance only adding to the endless list of flaws attached to this movie.Overall, Postmortem is struggling to score 1 out of 10.

To be honest, the irritating camera angles and zooms and the misplaced colours (scenes full of red, blue or other hues that certainly meant something to the director but the purposes of which were certainly lost on me) diverted my attention so far away from the story as to make a clear opinion impossible. On the other hand, if the story had been suspenseful or gripping in any way, I think I'd have noticed. Suffice it to say, then, that this is one of many movies about a serial killer, the police chasing him "before he kills his next victim", an outside cop who "really doesn't want to be involved but is our only hope", one dead cop who had a family, a psychologically wrecked serial killer - you may blame either of his parents - a mental sibling of his, etc. It's all unconvincing, by-the-dozen kind of stuff. In the end, the most surprising aspect of it all might be the fact that it takes place in Glasgow. Wow.

If you don't expect too much from a serial killer thriller, this movie is nice entertainment. Directed by Albert Pyun, better known for trashy made science fiction/action/martial arts movies, it introduces a disillusioned and alcohol-addicted U.S. cop (played by ex-star Charlie Sheen) to a series of brutal girl murders in the Scottish countryside. The film is nothing special, just a cop losing his mind, being suspected of being the murderer, and finally tracking down the real killer and saving the last victim from its fate. The setting is outstanding, with the dark architecture of Scottish cities and the sinister atmosphere of Hammer-Horror-like countryside. Sit back and be thrilled for 105 minutes of nice serial killer entertainment!

A very non-convincing performance by Sheen. Does he think that mumbling his lines will have audience approval - in the worn-out manner of the drawling James Dean? I watched this video and constantly had to rewind and replay and listen again to what Sheen was saying; quite comical really when you consider that the other actors had broad Scottish accents. Poor sound and poor lighting also contributed to a frustrating movie. 4 out of 10. Strong performance from the Scottish Police inspector.
