Was this a movie? Not too sure... So uncomfortably edited. Has a pretty recognisable cast, but they don't come together to do anything entertaining. I'm not too surprised that this was the case, but I'll say it anyway _Acceleration_ was one...

Terrible C-movie with bad writing (including dialogue), at best stilted acting, scattershot editing, and a cheap looking production (guessing filmed using a digital camera). The only plus I can say is one specific fight sequence was alright...
