Hoo-boy, where to start. It's a movie that may have disappeared from cinema's all ready, even with some intriguing commercials it did not make the top 15 moneymakers it's first weekend.
Pretentious, half baked, badly edited, lots of narration that has no character origin in the film. Max Von Sydow seems to be in a different film. I'm guessing they only had him for a certain number of days as his character literally vanishes with a bolt from the blue.
Anyone remember Demonlover? It's like that, lots of different languages and accents and it refuses to end even after the story seems to reach a conclusion.
Truly a WTF movie.
 

I can't complain but sometimes I still do. Life's been good to me so far.

It's almost always a bad sign when the distributor has no screenings at all for a movie before it opens. Forget about critic's screenings, BRANDED didn't even seem to have any public showings whatsoever before it came out as the first review on imdB didn't appear until 3pm on its release day!
Talk about hiding the goods!
