I would have been pissed. Still, I can see why some would get into it. Flashy action is all it has, at least from my perspective.venoms5https://www.blogger.com/profile/13655919099947763891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467807781586384838.post-60852033946274038802011-01-08T10:44:15.935-08:002011-01-08T10:44:15.935-08:00Shaun won me over with his review on Celluloid, so...Shaun won me over with his review on Celluloid, so I bumped this up on the ol Netflix list. At least with the mindless action you mentioned, it will make it more entertaining than many of the other boring AND stupid zombie flicks out lately.I Like Horror Movieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15851268002582984544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467807781586384838.post-76240515821935068952011-01-04T11:25:05.657-08:002011-01-04T11:25:05.657-08:00@ Atroxion: I likely would have enjoyed this one h...@ Atroxion: I likely would have enjoyed this one had there been some characters of substance who could speak actual dialog instead of non stop profanity.<br /><br />@ Maynard: I can understand why some would like this movie, unfortunately, I'm not one of them. It can be the bonafide worst movie every, but if there's at least one character of interest for whatever reason, then I tune in. If all your film has to offer is a bunch of pretty Americanized action scenes with a nervous camera operator, I tune out.<br /><br />@ The Doc: I'm not familiar with BLACK SWAN, I'll have to look into that one. LOL! Yes, I know what a grit is, as you said, I was referencing that nutty classic MY COUSIN VINNY! I was hoping you'd catch it, and you did!! Happy New Year Doc!!<br /><br />@ Shaun: I am unfamiliar with what's going on in France right now, but I could sense some kind of political message, ever so slight as it might have been to me. Still, the dialog was worthless whether you're watching it subbed or dubbed. Constant cursing does nothing to sustain my interest and none of these people were likable at all. <br /><br />The only reason I watched it to the end was because my girlfriend was with me and, amazingly, she didn't like it either, as she normally goes for the new stuff particularly zombie pictures. <br /><br />I will be sure to check out your review, Shaun, when I get done with work. I just stopped in for a break. I also saw HARPOON: WHALE WATCHING MASSACRE the same night. It was a lot better than this, but I won't be reviewing that one. It's basically TCM aboard a big ship in Iceland with a huge cast of international victims.venoms5https://www.blogger.com/profile/13655919099947763891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467807781586384838.post-47241266567599831932011-01-04T07:54:56.933-08:002011-01-04T07:54:56.933-08:00I respectfully disagree with you on this one Brian...I respectfully disagree with you on this one Brian. I thought the film had some very interesting things to say about French society, and used the zombie motif in a far interesting way than Romero has for many a year. The title has a double meaning in my view...check out my review and let me know what you think. I agree with you on certain stylistic and narrative points though. I just felt its subtext raised it above the mire.Shaun Anderson [The Celluloid Highway]https://www.blogger.com/profile/18066744649878418309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467807781586384838.post-26467122434005639262011-01-04T05:56:58.805-08:002011-01-04T05:56:58.805-08:00Should I see this first, or Black Swan?
