A clever idea that needed a good script but didn't get one

The directorial debut of John Simpson: he also wrote the script, and, I suspect, made the sandwiches too. The popular stand-up comedian Lee Evans came into the project out of the goodness of his heart, by all accounts. The idea of a man so traumatised by being wrongly accused of a triple murder that he keeps himself under camera surveillance 24/7 is a good starting point, with lots of possibilities for clever camera angles and filming tricks. Unfortunately Simpson's script is nothing but cliches and the plot is pretty hopeless, frankly. The film's one redeeming quality, and the reason I give three stars, is the remarkable performance of Lee Evans. Shaven of all body hair (ouch), he is tense, vulnerable and distinctly uncomfortable to watch.
