Not sure

Rating: 6/10 (10 December 2006)

Let me be up front and say I am not sure I understood this film. It appears to be a dual of Taxi Driver, the self-proclaimed elite of this movies conflicts in a strange way with the self-hating Bickle of Scorsese's masterpiece. However, they are both people to be loathed by the common man. The character in the film starts to view himself as Neitzche's superman, I believe. Excess takes him over; the film is purely set in an 80's context for this reason. He is part of the "Me" generation, but this "me" leads him to kill. It is only he that matters. But I am puzzled with what led him to be that way. I prefer films that at least make some effort to discuss how a character came to be; rather than just placing an artificial construct in front of the film and expecting us to sympathize. The movie isn't bad per se, but you get the sense that the main character is there just to shock...
