Very best movie i ever watch

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

The movie is wildly uneven but lively and timely - in its own surreal way

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Tricked again! This is NOT the werewolf movie I was seeking. Well, that's my bad. I try and go in as cold as possible to movies recommended to me, so with just the poster, its presence on the horror-online channel, Shudder, the title and recommendation, I dived blind into the almost-2 hour feature. Yes, I was counting on a werewolf movie and about 20 minutes in, it seemed it might just be one.Instead, we got another torture-porn, somewhat comedic, horrific and brutal movie. That all said, still very well done. A tad predictable, but then, I've seen a couple of dozens of these.This movie is wildly complex in its plot to really do a quick summary, but I'll try: Man accused of kidnapping and torturing little girls is the prime suspect from a rogue police cop and others. No one's handling this situation or this suspect's rights correctly and things only get darker for the waterboarding methods to get anything out of this potentially innocent man's mouth.The film's well acted, definitely suspenseful, nicely complicated, funny when needs be and absolutely ruthless in some scenes that made me look away. Not perfect, but feels real enough and absolutely terrifying in some of its exposition.Recommended for thriller-seekers and can handle a little on-screen brutality "for a cause(?)"***Final thoughts: Also highly recommend: 'Death and the Maiden.' In fact, even though there are dozens of others like this, Big Bad Wolves should be shown first as a double feature with Death and the Maiden. Save the best for last.

A serial killer film from Israel isn't something to be expected and as such is pretty much a sensation in itself. But what makes this really the best Israeli film of late isn't that it won so many awards or that it might be remade by Hollywood, but that it has pretty subversive undertones hidden within a story which, at first glance, plays along well trodden serial killer / suspense movie lines: The only suspect of a series of killings of young girls is being manhandled by a group of cops, then forced to let go by their chief for lack of evidence. Since the event was filmed by a witness who uploaded the video online, the leader of the pack is temporarily dismissed. He decides to go after the suspect, an unassuming teacher (of religion, on top of it), by himself. So does the father of the last victim, a secret operations army officer. They're both determined to make the teacher confess before killing him, but with conflicting means.That doesn't just make for a good suspense movie, but it's also a thinly veiled critique of certain aspects of Israeli society. From the onset, there's abuse of authority. There are barely any female characters - the men talk to their wives on the phone, and their relationships are all in disarray. There's a recurrent motif of them neglecting the parental duty of supervising their children because they are driven by other goals. All of them (seem to) have had extreme experiences in their army days, which make them use violence with such ease that the central question of the film is: 'Who is the monster here?' And about the only normal, non-menacing character is an Arab on horseback, who doesn't really have any function besides being there. So 'Big Bad Wolves' is actually a lot more clever than the story and the title suggest, and also proof that film (and society) in Israel is very well aware of its inconsistencies, and doesn't require Western criticism to realize that it's not perfect. As such, people who feel the urge to criticize Israel should watch this film and wonder: 'Hm, maybe there's no real need for me to vocalize my TV-based disapproval of Israeli politics, they seem to be doing pretty well for themselves.'One should perhaps watch this alongside Hany Abou-Assad's 'Omar', a highly convoluted tale of conspiracy and backstabbing among Palestinian terrorists (for some) or freedom fighters (for others), which carries a similar message: the presence of the enemy screws up men's perceptions about themselves, they become (self-)destructive without the enemy having much to do about it. In both films, everybody loses, nobody wins.If I'm rating 'Big Bad Wolves' 7/10, then because unfortunately the film gives too much away suspense-wise. If ten seconds in the middle and the last shot were edited out, it would be a masterpiece, making everyone wonder: 'What the hell did I just see?' As it is, it's a very good suspense thriller with a lot of subtext, but you can only watch it once because there's no mystery left to decipher.

The only thing horrible about this movie are the jokes. They are so bad you feel ashamed for the writer/director.This movie is really painful to watch: Story is totally predictable and dumb, when the movie is supposed to be funny you just think "jeeeeesus" i feel so embarrassed. There is no surprise in the story and you look the whole time on your watch when is this over...The Character of this movie are so dumb that it really hurts. This is the worst movie i have seen this year...For the gore/splatter freaks: Its still a BIG disappointment. If you are interested in graphic violence you will think this movie was made for your grandmother. There is nothing shocking at all in this movie. If SAW is a 10 then this movie is a 1 in terms of shocking scenes.

Watching this film, I was saddened as there is so much potential and really the only thing which I feel kneecaps the film from truly reaching the pinnacle of suspense is the a lost forced humour. There are many instances at attempts of humour, however if you were to remove them, this film would be much more intense, almost to the point of perfection. The acting could've been much better, especially in the case of Tzahi Grad, who has a tough role in playing the father of a murdered and sexually assault girl who is pursuing vengeance. Although he nails down the sadistic aspects of the role, it's the lack of emotion towards the fact that his daughter has passed away, the singular moment in the film in which the character shows emotion towards this was during the scene when he has to be held back at the scene of the discovery. The movie is certainly worth a watch as a Revenge Film, I believe this film is a lot better than "Blue Ruin" which was a good film but extensively long in certain parts and overall unfulfilling. Without the comedic parts, this film would probably stand on the same level as "Spoorloos" however people who watch films purely off the recommendation of Quentin Tarantino, please understand his style before you complain, look at the movies he produces (not the ones he writes and directs) and also maybe actually listen to the man speak about films, what he likes about them and maybe also a list of his favourite movies for the year or decade. (Tarantino puts "Speed" above "Fight Club" and says that "Speed" was one of the best movies of the 90's)
