Reviews
To me, this movie is perfection.
Good concept, poorly executed.
A Masterpiece!
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
This is truly how I welcome the cinema .. A story that has real world characters who have depth and soul... and knowing that it is based on a true story adds even further to the impact.The violence is portrayed in a meaningful manner, it is not glorified with typical Hollywood "drama", here it is cold, quick and without remorse...This is not a film that the mainstream media can love because it portrays the kind of reality that it far too heavy to immediately digest. It is in essence a philosophical/sociological view on the darker side of society.You can't just walk away from this film and forget it...
When I saw this film I revisited his Genesis in Concert film from 1976, I have tried hard to forget that crime against the band and fans and to this day I can't figure out why he won't release the film in its entirely and without atomic bombs and comic garbage....it is clear now, he thinks is great and this film proves that he lacks common sense.Bad editingLooks and feels cheapNothing original, bad directing and storyCould not finish it, at your own risk
Well, let's just say that there was more life and entertainment value in the corpses than the actors doing the killing. This film needed a bigger budget than the £35 they seemed to have spent on this load of old cod's-wallop.This could have been a very, very good film, if only the director had had a clue to what he was doing, editing is all over the place, the sound track through out the movie was heavy handed and completely unnecessary in places.I think the biggest problem with this movie is that the majority of the dialogue is delivered in a manner of someone reading from idiot-boards, in a very dull monotone sort of way.The one bright spot in this movie was Jake Canuso who played Alessandro, a schizo mafia thug in the best tradition of movie mafia thugs. Good Job..Don't waste your time with this, it will only encourage them to make something else even more banal.You've been warned...
While a cheap production isn't necessarily a bad one, this movie lacks to introduce the characters, actually it doesn't introduce them at all.And so you will have a hard time developing any relationship or care for the actors.While the idea for the movie is a good one, I love movies about contract killers..This production lacks any love, intelligence, fun and joy....and you see it in the movie.The movie is just boring, it's not worth to waste any more words on it.I am not sure why it won two prizes.Maybe the other movies were even worse. Or there were no other movies. Probably that.
