I love salt and vinegar flavored potato chips. Some people would rather chew glass, but I love 'em. Sure, they're bitter, and not something you'd want to make your whole diet out of, but for those of us that likes 'em, they're great. Blade is your salt and vinegar movie. Excessively violent? Sure. Downright gross? You betcha! Hackneyed, staged, pandering, condescending, and with a predictable ending? Of course! But, it's sooooooo unapologetic about what it is, you can't help but love it. It's over-the-top, in-your-face fun that'll keep you on the edge of your seat if you let yourself get lost in the nonsense. Any attempt at sweetening it would have been a disaster, so they went full-tilt in the other direction and the result is a dang good time. A true guilty pleasure. Not appropriate for younger audiences (that R is there for a reason), but lots of scary fun.
