SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie
Mjeteconer Just perfect...
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
a_chinn I had no idea that Kamal Ahmed, one of the Jerky Boys, has been writing and directing low budget films for a number of years. This grindhouse throwback to the gritty NYC 1970s crime flicks, the likes of of Abel Ferrara or Larry Cohen, is fun for fans of that subgenre, though I'm not sure others will get much out of this film. The excellent William Forsythe plays a hit-man who follows a woman to her creative writing class (taught by the big brother from "ET") where he begins writing stories based on his crimes to impress her. It's an interesting set up, that felt very Larry Cohen-esque, but the characters and plot never really grabbed me. The film seems more of an exercise in style, with the players acting out film archetypes rather than fully fleshed out characters. Tom Sizemore even shows up, in true B-picture fashion, for what must have been a one-day shoot talking directly to the camera and not interacting with any other actors. Still, when all of this is packaged in an obvious nostalgia piece, right down to an amazing retro style title sequence and score (by Scott Hampton), this film is enjoyable enough for fans of films like "Ms. .45" or "God Told Me To."
The Couchpotatoes Kamal Ahmed tried to make an ambitious movie but in my eyes he just failed. Despise William Forsythe that tries to make the movie a bit interesting the rest of the cast doesn't bring much to the movie. And also the story is just too slow and sometimes makes not much sense to make it enjoyable to watch. I even fell asleep for the last five minutes and I even didn't bother to rewind to watch those five minutes over. I couldn't care less how it ended. It's one of those movies you watch once, without much interest, and that you will completely forget about in a month. I'm even going to write the title down so that I don't forget I already watched it and that it wasn't good. Don't want to make the same mistake twice.
pinkwerewolf-1 If you are a fan of the comic masterpiece "The Killing Joke", then this is your movie. Give this title a chance and do not look at the neigh sayers that did not get the joke. ;) This film has an outstanding 80's feel to it with the soundtrack and camera edits. The acting from the lead is fantastic/ Oscar worthy with his stone cold personality going from one thing to the next. This also has a beautiful gritty gangster vibe that QT would lend ever so naturally with little to no budget.For those that know the story of the Joker from the Killing Joke title, you will get the influence that takes place here. Watching Frank Stone morph into something totally different is extremely satisfying and makes you want more! There are some great shootout scenes that are not over the top and make sense, and the lead female actress feels very down to earth and real. There are some corny 80's elements that do nothing but lead into a special charm that this film needed. I would give this a 10 if not for the somewhat slow beginning, but this movie once it unwinds becomes very entertaining.I say give it a shot.
icetech I love odd movies..and i really liked this one.. The role was perfect for William Forsythe and he perfect for the roll.. Some people will take issue with the way it was filmed, it's grainy. It's gritty.. The acting was really good. And William really seemed to get into the roll. Best part.. NO COMIC BOOK CRAP!!! I can't be the only one sick of comic book movies being the only real option? Even if it weren't for that i would still like this movie a lot..The only downsides are that i think it could be cut down 15-20 minutes and still be good.. but it wasn't draining.. just a touch slow about 3/4 through.. And i hated arti lange showing up.. i have issues with junkies being handed the world and throwing it away.. let alone not being funny at all when that is supposed to be your job.. But he is only in it for a few seconds.. so no biggy :) If they could figure a convincing sequel i would gladly watch it:) I think William has gotten to an age that he could play a VERY good detective ala Sam Spade. but i am digressing.P.S. wish i could buy the car they used for him in this.. LOVE it :)
