best movie i've ever seen.
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
I could only see what this movie was trying to be, not what it was. A mix of Jim Jarmusch circa Mystery Train, mixed with David Lynch circa Wild at Heart, mixed with Chungking Express, mixed with Delicatessen. What did it lack?: A decent soundtrack (the hallmark of any great movie), truly beguiling, cool, mysterious characters (this ensemble is cut from different cloth), trite uninteresting cinematography (filming the same set with the camera 30 degrees sideways and boring lighting isn't good enough on its own), weak narrative to make up for other failings - you might say Mystery Train had little narrative - but it was totally cool, the real deal. So the overall atmosphere is stagey, no sense of expanse, limited sets, overacted in voice and expression as if broadcasting to a live audience. I found myself looking away at the cringeworthy performances, as if it would embarrass the actors if they knew I'd seen it - I don't blame them completely, any actor can be made to look bad after a poor edit of insufficient material: but they all look and sound pretty stupid. Maybe I'm old, but I've seen better, original cool; this ain't it.
Nothing like a movie that gives you no reason to care about any of its characters until the very end-simply because it has to protect the big reveal (which half of said reveal was a given)...
Cast was excellent . Mike Myers playing a rare character and was a pleasing dramatic stretch for him.Pay attention because a lot is going on..I took one star off for the use of rimless ammunition in a revolver with no clips..
A very good movie ! I was impressed . The dialogue is excelent and the actors are the best ! I really liked it . I don't understand is this movie so low rated
