NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!
Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
lindarctica First thing that needs to be said is; don't watch this if you are prone to seizures. The camera/editing work is the most annoying I have ever seen, with a continuous green filter and a jumpcut every second. It's a pain to watch, and that is the number 1 thing that takes this movie down.The story is really not bad though, if it wasn't being told so incoherently, it can be very enjoyable. Plot devices are being laid down like cards on a table, then hussled together and shoved away to be pulled out of the sleeve at the movie's convenience, wether they add something to the deck or not, like the really unnesseccary piece that is the reality show. What a waste of Christopher Walken! Scenes don't make sense until the movie takes the whopping time of two seconds to explain them. It's like trying to read a story on a rapidly moving slideshow. On to the story itself: It's a clever game of crime, backstabbing, honour, revenge and greed, containing a pawn for each subject. With the rebel Domino Harvey as the queen, centering the onslought. The movie took an actual person as a base and slapped a fictional tale on it, and that is indeed quite a tale! There is so much happening that it's hard to explain. What do this trailertrash guy with his arm cut off and a sick little girl have in common - what is their link? That is the story the movie portrayes, and it takes as many detours as you'd expect from these brutally different characters. Some detours are good points, some are utter rubbish. Yes, it's as messy and confusing as it sounds, but that is all you are gonna get from this review without any spoilers. Actingwise i have nothing to complain. We all know Keira Knightley as the whiney little sass-pirate she played in another popular franchise and it didn't do her justice. I disliked her as a actress for that role but she playes Domino with passion. She's convincing to say the least. Mickey Rourke is a pleasure to watch and i wish his character had more to it then the movie showed. The acting is great but it gets blurred - literally!- by the movie's killer pacing, lack of depth and the damned flashy edditing. All in all a mess of a movie, but I don't regret watching it.
tknaus Couldn't be a better story line that contains real life situations, jobs etc.. This movie has situated casting crew, that couldn't have done a better role in the acting of this movie. The story line was as good, the acting actors made this movie greater. The fact that this movie has a rating of 6 is, in my opinion, is best in its year that has a better review like this one. It has a 6 of 10 rating that is going to change to a 7, so I hope. It has sex, it has guns, its American, It has a Brittian actor, a Spanish actor. The nominated actors and lots of legends featuring in this movie. The plot of the story makes for history as if nothing like this has been filmed before and it was amazing. The camera's with angles is about bounty hunters and tells their story like it is. Its dramatic scenes bring out intense sequels. Outstanding job on the filming, even better on the story line. Great job on this movie. 10 of 10 Baby ;)
Natasha Watson The one and main downfall of this film, in my opinion, is the decision to cast Keira Knightley. Ordinarily she gives a very competent performance yet here it is almost cringe worthy. Although she fits the role of a young woman with a well-to-do background, the tomboy and whole bounty hunter side was clearly out of her and the audiences comfort zone. I applaud any actor/actress wanting to break from the constraints of typecasting, however, I felt Keira just simply didn't fit the role. It's as if she tried too hard to be a 'mean tomboy' and as a result failed to capture it. All that aside, the film was unsuccessful for other reasons. Tony Scott has once again made a film that fails to grip the audience. It drags on like a dog missing it's back legs and incorporates all the dull clichés one would expect from a mediocre action film. Scott also, for some bizarre reason, made the film through an ultra-saturated filter, which does little to compliment the film.Overall, the film lacks any kind of substance with characters you feel no attachment to ultimately wondering when the end credits are going to appear.
Maziun There is quite a lot of stars here : Keira Knightley ("Pirates of Caribbean " series) , Mickey Rourke ("Harry angel") , Brian Austin Green and Ian Ziering ("Beverly Hills 90210) , Lucy Liu ("Charlie's Angels) , Christopher Walken ("The Deer hunter") , Peter Jacobson ("House MD") , singer Macy Gray and TV-host Jerry Springer .There is no acting here, only posing. To be honest , the main reason I've decided to watch this movie was to see Knightley naked . I have to admit I was disappointed . The movie is rated R , yet we get only to see a lap dance (quite good) and one sex scene , where you can barely see her breasts . I have to admit that Knightley has one of the smallest breasts I have ever scene. Too bad. Such a pretty face, such a small breasts.The plot is about... God only knows . Is it a movie about a girl from affluent but dysfunctional background who grew to be a tough bounty hunter ? Is it a movie about big robber ? Is it a movie about a sad Afro-American woman on Jerry Springer show ? Is it a movie about media? What about all the other subplots : the crazy Afghani guy bent on liberating Afghanistan, the love story between Domino and Chocco, the mescaline episode, the FBI surveillance operation...The overall story had potential for thriller , but in the end characters action don't make sense like the rest of this movie. The story is completely discontinuous and confusing to watch. Certain aspects of the plot were ridiculous and totally unbelievable."Donnie Darko" was also written by Richard Kelly. It was chaotic , sure but made sense in the end anh was though provoking. This is just mess from one-hot wonder writer/director Kelly.Too much of flashy MTV style of editing. It looks cool at first , but quickly becomes annoying TO THE VERY END OF THE MOVIE.All style , no substance or sense . Tony Scott and Richard Kelly what have you done ? I give it 1/10. I would rather watch "Top gun" . Cheesy , but good product that was enjoyable and made sense. This ? This is pure trash.
