A good movie

Rating: Null/10 (25 January 2005)

I had been reading an article about this movie published in Brazil which could be translated into something like "The Cosmetics of Violence" In this article the writer critizes the filmmakers for glamorizing the violence through slick edits and kinetic camera work.
I didn't agree much with that. I think the violence in this film is pretty damn disturbing (See that scene where they make that little kid shoot his friend) I don't think that particular scene is glamorized at all.
If I had to quibble about something was the fact that I didn't care for any single character. I didn't care if they died or if they didn't. No of them had any kind of morals including the main character, who was kind of weak and easy to manipulate. Maybe this was the intention. I think it's a great movie, filled with events that will keep you watching, but in the long run, I was left with that feeling, the only flaw that I saw in the film.
8/10
