Rating: Summary: Absolutely dreadful! Review: I don't understand how Willem Defoe agreed to be part of this charade. The acting being nothing short of unbelievable, Defoe tried to make his role work within the perimeters of his silly charcter he has accepted to play. His effortless acting peers don't succeed in following his example as their perfomances make viewers blush. The camera work and the editing are boring, the techno-ey soundtrack wishes it was written by Paul Oakenfold or Paul Van Dyk. The art direction is reminiscent of your avarage TV production.
Duffy tries so hard to portray everybody as amazingly "cool" but fails in imitating cinematic muscleflexers like Tarantino. Furthermore there is an odd homosexual undertone to the characters (other than Defoe's who's character is gay) where all, especially the straight stereotypes, come off as awfully stupid individuals. As for female characters, is it me or don't women exist in Duffy's immature world of cinema?
Rating: Summary: Stupid people. Review: Take the movie for what it is worth. There are too many people that think they are professional critics. Do you really watch for editing techniques, directing skills, and how well a plot makes sense? Especially if you are so entertained by the movie. I give no respect to anyone that gave this one star. If you didn't like it, say "I really didn't like it. Maybe you will." Just because you think you are a critic and know what a good movie is, you don't... face it. Just because you watch a lot of movies, cause you don't have a life, doesn't mean you have the ability to rate a movie.
I really like this movie, and I would recommend it to anyone that wants to watch a badass movie. I'm not Irish at all.. but after watching this movie, I wanted to be. They are such badasses in the movie that I want to be Irish and be a badass like them. This movie is no different than any Death Wish movie, so screw you people that say that the plot doesn't make any sense. My rating is for what I feel about the movie. I am going to school for directing and I feel as though this movie was very well done for an Indie film. Nicely done... great movie.
Rating: Summary: Sorry, didn't work for me. Review: I watched the version of this film where the acting was terrible, the plot didn't exist, and every attempt at being cool failed. I'd like to get ahold of the version everyone is raving about though, sounds like a good movie.
Rating: Summary: THIS MOVIE ROCKS Review: man, i saw this movie and i loved it. everyone at my school oved it. a must see!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rating: Summary: Painful to watch Review: After several of my high school students claimed this was the best movie ever, I decided to check it out when one of them offered me his DVD. WOW, what a debacle. I had to turn it off after 45 minutes, which I never do. I'm assuming that the majority of people who love this movie are in fact high school and college age boys who aren't quite intelligent enough to "get" Pulp Fiction, True Romance, and Reservoir Dogs. These three movies are classics because of their direction, dialogue, superb non-linear story telling, and outstanding acting. None of these qualities were evident in this horrible movie. Hell, the fact Ron Jeremy is in this movie with his pants on tells you all you need to know. Willem Defoe, who is great in Mississippi Burning and Platoon, just embarrasses himself. Many times I was left speechless with how poorly the actors attempted to deliver their lines. I could go on, but why. Just skip this movie at all costs.
