Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
A Masterpiece!
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
A futuristic nightmare comes to life in director Alessandro Capone's incredibly imaginative 2047: Sights of Death. Capone uses the camera as an surrealist artist uses the brush and creates a horrific landscape depicting a world too terrible for words. Beyond the constraints of contemporary cinema, he attempts to essay a vision consisting of beautifully photographed, haunting imagery and vast vistas of desolation. The cast assembled for this production is outstanding and every performance is flawless. Michael Madsen does a wondrous job here in the role of Lobo and it is a part he was born to play. Certainly some of his finest work in years and even superior to his landmark role in Reservoir Dogs. This is one of the most thoughtful and artistic post-apocalyptic motion pictures ever made and must not be missed.
"Primetime Murder" director Alessandro Capone wastes a distinguished cast in his pedestrian futuristic thriller "2047-Sights of Death" that includes Danny Glover, Stephen Baldwin, Michael Madsen, Rutger Hauer, and Daryl Hannah. Danny Glover and Stephen Baldwin are the heroes, while Michael Madsen, Daryl Hannah, and Rutger Hauer are the villains. Captain Ryan Willburn (Stephen Baldwin of "The Usual Suspects") is a Green War rebel agent whose helicopter is shot down during the first combat scene, and he finds himself on foot in a contaminated area. Tuage (Neva Leoni) is a mutant survivor who resembles an Amazon warrior woman with a painted face who makes life tough initially for Willburn before she joins sides with him. As the villainous Colonel Asimov, Rutger Hauer is always fun to watch, but he does nothing significant here to elevate this lackluster opus. He runs an oppressive government with the help of mercenaries like Lobo (Michael Madsen of "Die Another Day") who makes a big deal out of firing up his cigarettes. Asimov spends part of his time leering at Major Anderson (Darryl Hannah of "Splash") and eventually admits to her that he killed her father. Meanwhile, as resistance leader Sponge, Danny Glover is confined for the duration behind two computers where mumbles orders to Ryan. This loquacious thriller boasts a couple of amusing scenes, the best one concerns the treacherous Lobo who conducts a classified conversation on his cell phone while a hooker with braided hair performs oral sex on him. Afterward, an apprehensive Lobo decides that she may have heard too much and orders his associate Evilenko (Kai Portman) to terminate her with extreme prejudice. The low-budget thriller lets its characters talk far too much during its lackluster 89 minutes. About the only real action occurs early one with three CGI attack choppers blow Baldwin's helicopter out of the air. Compared to the grindhouse classics of the 1980s, this movie has little action. Occasionally shots are exchanged, but nothing really significant happens while the principals stand around a chew the fat. The action concludes with Willburn cruising away into the darkness uttering this inane dialogue: "My mission was successfully accomplished, but I am unable to explain what precisely happened in contaminated quadrant B-2 nor my length of time that I spent there. I can't say if the hallucinations I experienced there were actual hallucinations I'm not convinced it or if the surviving girl I met received help from was merely an illusion or a corrupted figment of my paranoia."
I cringed when I saw the Poster for this alleged Film Production. The sight of so many OLD Wrinkled former stars was too much for me to even warrant going to see the movie. Some of these stars must be desperate for money to have their agents sign them up for this cartoonish action film. Rutger Hauer was old, tired, and lame in the Expendables Movies, so I can't see him being the Evil CCG Soldier in this one. And now we know where Daryl Hannah has been hiding - searching for Saturday Matinée D Grade Movie Scripts. And what was Stephen Baldwin thinking? I don't worry about Michael Madsen, he will sign on to anything for a Buck, but a Rebel Leader? Maybe to the nearest Bar. And Danny Glover? Maybe he's feeling left out with Morgan Freeman appearing in about every movie and TV Show in sight recently.This might be good LOL Dollar Cinema Show. You know, the ones where the audience shouts out what is wrong with the current Scene or Dialog and then throws things at the screen!
So everyone's at Madsen's getting high as hell. Hannah is swinging off a chandelier slamming mermaid-tinis, whilst Glover has been on the sofa doing balloons for days. Then boom, one of the Baldwin brothers and that guy from Baderunner find a hundred pills from the early 90s. The party gets shipped to Italy with Glover on the sofa and all. After a week the comedown of we're all doomed begins; they have a look in the mirror and this turgid nonsense is created.CGI wise it's like thy decided that Sayonara Jupiter meets Home and Away was the epitome of model/set design and recreated it. The production is so bad it's just bad.The acting is depressing. You start wondering why Steven Segal didn't get the main role to give it more life. How low can we go? The rest are a joke as well. The only actor who gets away with anything is the girl in red who doesn't say a word. She's like that unfortunate really smart and fit South American girl that turns up in a dysfunctional sociopathic house share in Bethnal Green or some other arse-end of London.Someone should edit this with only shots of the red girl with some Gregorian chanting music and turn it into a soft porn spiritual healing mind retreat. Sights of heavenly salami.
