Best movie ever!
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
This movie takes some time to get going, but when it does it becomes rewarding as it progresses. The last 50% of the film was much better than the first 20%. This first part suffers from the fact that this movie's structure is done in three parts (Like Pulp Fiction). As an aside there is a copy of the scene where Butch Shoots Vince after an appliance suddenly does something. Anyway back to the movie...This movie lacks the usual first act introductory scenes that most mainstream movies possess. It just rolls right into the three stories one after the other. Without introducing the characters properly its annoying in that you don't know whats going on. Its as though the makers thought it would be cool to delete any intro and just stretch out the second act right to the beginning and then tack on an ending to tie things together. I vote this movie a 6. With a scene that explains things I'd give it a 7 at least. Its a fun comedy caper type film that doesn't take itself seriously. Nor should you. Well as long as you ignore the films glaring plot hole toward the end of the film.
A Tarantino inspired? film that lacks that director's touch to be something special. The plot involves complications that make sense given the characters. There are a couple of plot contrivances that stretch reality but aren't totally off the wall. The acting is fine but without the pizazz that makes Tarantino's characters so interesting. The main faults with KMTT are the lack of imagination in the cinematography and the pace. Careful editing could have taken a few minutes off the film, watching folks drive especially gets a bit old. Most of the scenes could have a bit shorter, for example someone opening a safe doesn't need to be seen several times. We get that safes have combinations and get opened. The comic timing, therefore, falls short and what could have been a very good movie is just above average. I can't quite give it a six, but a 7 seems too high. Call it 6.5.
It was a hot and humid atmosphere, I thought they shot in Italy. Then came to know it was an Aussie flick when a dead kangaroo was shown. So Simon Pegg in an Australian film, that directed by one of my favourite dog movies 'Red Dog' famed filmmaker. On this, it was a mixed feeling to me. A comedy-thriller, a good time pass movie. The film editing and the screen presentation were what made it look a better flick. If it was told from the starting point to the end as a single line, then it would have been very ordinary.Barely there are eight actors, that mean it is a limited cast movie that takes place in the isolated location. All about love, cheating, crime, money, completely about the dark side desires. There are a couple of twists, that is only because of the bend in the storytelling. At the Beginning, the three different stories were told one after another that set in the same timeline. The first one was to introduce a hit-man, followed by a woman who cheats her husband and the finally a dentist couple who was threatened by a loan shark.There are no good guys in the story. All of them has some issues and they want to get rid of it from their lives. So the plot begins to explode once they committed to their plans that does not go as it should be. When a series of mistakes and characters and their situation overlaps with each other, that lead to the finale.There are some minor plot holes, if you don't compare it with the Hollywood blockbusters like critics then possibly you would enjoy it. I won't suggest it if you are looking for a Tarantino style masterpiece. It is a little dark- comedy from the down-under that has its own value despite there are some similarities with other flicks.6/10
This is a alright rental, it's not a really good rental but it's decent enough. It's not as terrible as some critics claim it to be. Sure it's not all that original for that twist and turn and every connects near the end type of movie. But it's decent enough for it to make it worth a watch. Despite me hating all of the characters in this movie. So the plot is about a hit-man named Charlie Wolfe played by Simon Pegg getting entangled or intentionally gets into a mess. Simon Pegg's role in this is basically tailing other characters, spying on them then snarling and chuckling in a creepy awkward manner every time he sees something bizarre. The director of this movie seems to have been really inspired by Pulp Fiction, but the whole thing just doesn't mesh together all that well. And the characters and dialogues is more annoying than interesting. But it was a watchable flick and despite it not having a immensely immersive story it was a okay effort. Lastly I thought it was cool how Sullivan Stapleton could play such a badass in "300: Rise of an Empire" and such a weak cowardly loser in this. Simon Pegg playing the lead role as a hit-man and Sullivan Stapleton playing the somewhat villain I thought this would be a good movie, but it's decent at best.6/10
