Comments: OK, listen. Chopping Mall isn't very good, technically speaking. There's about four seconds spent on eight characters (each with a significant other) to establish them, then three-fourths of the couples start fucking, and then here come some mall "security" robots (with fucking lasers?!) that were struck by lightning so now they're bent on killing. The robots' accuracy with their lasers is worse than any group of Stormtroopers I've ever seen. They're fucking robots - how bad can their aim be? And the ease in which shit blows up is amazing, be it propane tanks, elevators, or paint stores. Nothing is fucking safe. Suffice to say, several moments made me laugh at the sheer stupidity of what was occurring onscreen.

But the movie's kind of awesome, too... you know? This was 77 minutes well spent.
