Violet & Daisy Audience Reviews

Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Verity Robins Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
jcjs333 I found out i can't write reviews without doing spoilers...what a wonderful movie...i think i ought qualify my viewing and writing of this took place while stoned... i think 'masterpiece' is an good word to describe it...why was i thinking 'a woman wrote this...no guy could write this good to where he could 'throw himself' into 2 female characters and super strong lead...i think i could point to exaggerated acting for a split second, just maybe....OH, for the first 5 minutes of the film i was determined not to like it and i was sad that i wouldn't like it...why?...'Pulp Fiction'...show started exactly like Pulp Fiction except it was 2 woman talking silly dialogue on the way to an apt. room to kill.... HOWEVER, from that moment on i was hooked...brilliant writing, acting, directing...again, qualify with i'm stoned'...i think i'd like it straight or crooked...i love 'drama'....i'm getting to where i hate hearing 'f--k' this and that and computer shows...the bubble gum in unison with the gun...the show never dulled or slowed down...there was a fast segment at end but missed the meaning...i found myself thinking these girls are spoiled brats in real life...then, thought 'those partaking in a show like this are great in my book'...this thing could be made in a TV production class...but, not this good!...i think 'Sex Lies Video Tape'...the less 'music' the better...this flick mind blowing beautiful music or sounds...super sparingly and uniquely right on...scenery perfect. I can't say enough good about this 'kudos' to all especially writer/director
Malcolm Lusby two of the most ineffective "assassins" in history in a plot that completely rips off the first 2 mons of pulp fiction. 3:19 seconds in to watching them fire about 1000 rounds from unsilenced guns into a guy (instead of just shooting him in the head) and I gave up. If this filmhas any redeeming qualities - I will be surprised - but based on the first 3m 20s - it's truly truly awful. Last movie I saw that was SO bad I gave up in under 10 mins was Suicide Squad - so it's WORSE than that!!!!!
MoviesReviews101 Story: Violet & Daisy starts by introducing our two protagonists Daisy (Ronan) and Daisy (Bledel) acting like two normal teenage girls who complete their latest job dressed like nuns. The two teenage assassins take a holiday where they get called in for another job and as they need to money they take it. Russ (Trejo) their handler gives them the details on the target known only as The Guy (Gandolfini). Our two assassins are on the job so they can get the latest dress from their favourite fashion designer Barbie Sunday (Horn). After falling asleep waiting for The Guy he arrives home covers them up and gives them cookies and milk. The girls find themselves in a moral predicament when they get to know someone before having to kill him. The Guy is almost waiting for them to kill him leading the girls to want to know more about his story. Things take a turn when another rival group of assassins are in on the job, who also wants The Guy killed. Violet & Daisy was a surprise to me I kind of went into the film expecting an all guns a blazing action film but I was pleasantly surprised by what I saw. We end up getting a drama about two teenagers who learn the side effects of their jobs while we also get the idea of one man wanting to leave the world before he can make up for everything he did wrong. We get to see how the three people chat and learn to finish the next chapter of their lives before it is too late. We have friendship tested, regret challenged and lies uncovered. All of these things help make this very interesting even though it goes against everything you have ever been taught about assassin's films. (8/10)Actor ReviewSaoirse Ronan: Daisy younger of the two hit girls who is still learning the ways but is enjoying the ride along with becoming best friends. She enjoys the friendship and the travel while letting her friend do all the killing. Saoirse does a good job in this here second teen assassin role. (8/10)Alexis Bledel: Violet having a previous partner dying she has become close with Daisy to level of best friends as they travel the world as assassins. She is haunted by what has happened as well as learning more about trusting people. Alexis does a good job in the role she would have been slightly too old to be playing. (8/10)James Gandolfini: The Guy who is the target for the two girls after stealing from their boss. He is dying and wants to end his suffering but slowly over the meeting he sets up one last goodbye to his daughter. James does a good job in this role. (8/10)Support Cast: Violet & Daisy has a small supporting cast with most characters only turning up in one or two scenes to push the story in a different direction.Director Review: Geoffrey Fletcher – Geoffrey does a good job directing this story about friendship and regrets. (8/10)Action: Violet & Daisy doesn't really have much action in it, we have a couple of very short shoot outs which all play very well. (6/10) Drama: Violet & Daisy focuses on its characters and how they all see the world and beyond interacting with each other. (9/10) Thriller: Violet & Daisy keeps you guessing to what will be revealed next along with what could happen next. (8/10) Settings: Violet & Daisy keeps most of the setting in one place with most taking part in the apartment of The Guy. (9/10) Suggestion: Violet & Daisy is one to watch it is pleasantly surprising that could be enjoyed by all. (Watch) Best Part: The awkward but important interaction between the three. Worst Part: Don't expect all out action.Believability: No (0/10) Chances of Tears: No (0/10) Chances of Sequel: No Post Credits Scene: Small one near the start.Oscar Chances: No Runtime: 1 Hour 28 Minutes Tagline: Too much sugar can kill you. Trivia: One of James Gandolfini's last acting roles before his death on June 19, 2013.Overall: Enjoyable DramaCheck out more reviews on http://moviesreview101.com/
oowawa I had great expectations for this movie. I mean, how could you miss with the great James Gandolfini and wonderful Saoirse Ronan as headliners (and Alexis Bledel is certainly eyeworthy), and yet the first time through this film I did not enjoy the experience. Then it dawned on me, well, duh, this film is intended to be a Tarantino parody, and it went up several stars in my estimation. Of course, making a parody of a QT film is problematic, because Quentin films are already parodies of other genres such as kung fu, grindhouse, and noir. And so, in a sense, the filmmaker is making a parody of a parody. I mean, Saoirse playing patty-cakes with Danny Trejo? The scene is totally Quentinesque to a ludicrous extreme. And that's parody.Other motifs that echo and exaggerate Tarantino's style include the implausible violence sequences that can only exist in some alternate film universe (think Black Mamba single-handedly wiping out a small army of yakuza in "Kill Bill,") and the interminable gabfest that fills out a QT script (these people love to talk and talk and talk)... And so, as a parody of a parody, and for its very impressive cast, this film is worth an amused watch.
