Made on a shoe-string budget and shot in 2006, those scanning the cast list will likely wonder why it’s only seeing the light of day now, two years later – and on a straight-to-DVD release. Winona Ryder, Liev Schreiber, Paul Rudd, Famke Janssen, and even Jessica Alba grace this 90-minute feature. So why the delay? Funding problems? Creative differences? Studio mismanagement? Sadly, it’s a much simpler reason: the film is bad. Really, really bad. Featuring 10 interrelated stories based on the Ten Commandments, unsuspecting viewers will be expecting a dark satire indicting religious fanaticism. Instead, they get a string of nonsensical sketches that rank closer to low-brow than high-art. It’s anybody’s guess as to what attracted the well-known cast (and it’s a long list) to this project.
