The handheld feel to this is nauseating, Kim Coates is laughable (at best), and the high review scores are what I'd guess as fans of Justin Bieber's.

I actually felt nauseous after ten minutes- the shaky, handheld feel to this is just too much. There's nothing edgy or artistic about this method when it makes you feel like you're on a cheap carnival ride.

Kim Coates PLAYED a lawless thug on SOA, that does NOT make him one, nor does it give him one ounce of 'street cred'. Listening to him trying to swear with any credibility is hysterical; like hearing an 8-year old trying out his first curse words.

The 'directors' last name is Bieber, so I'm going to guess he's some relation to Justin, therefore making him some kind of documentarian. Maybe just stick to nonsensical blather on his relative that the teenagers fawn over and be done with it, because telling a compelling story is not his thing.

This tells us nothing about what bodyguards/personal security do- it is an incredibly interesting story that I think many would like to see, but this isn't the story. It lays out like an infomercial for firms who do the work with little/no insight into what actually happens.

Pass on this wasteland and watch something else.
