Suprise after suprise after suprise.
Man, I so have to remind myself to ignore the reviews.
This film was so very fantastic. I haven't been this impressed with a lower budget film in years. Not to compare, but the shocks per minute ratio was right up there with Tarantino, but with seemingly much less effort. See this film as fast as you can, and watch it again and again just to savor all the subtly involved in creating such a masterpiece. All the brilliant camera angles, the sweat dripping off every 10 year old killer, and all of the plot twists that didn't need one ounce of fake blood to get across all of the realism involved with the subject matter, it was way too much.
I felt alive during the whole film. I felt for every single character, in every sense. If COG misses the Academy voting, then something is seriously wrong.
