Brutal, Bloody & Cruel with No Redemption

Rating: 2/10 (26 March 2012)

This movie gets points for cinematography & soundtrack, but won't be one that I recommend. It's not that the movie was terribly made. It's because I'm sick and tired of movies built on shock value. I'm tired of having goriness thrust upon the viewing public until it has desensitized us to the point where cold blooded murder doesn't bother us anymore. I'm tired of movies where the "good guy" is just as bad as the "bad guys". I can't feel what the main character feels when I abhor him. I don't care for his plight when he is moving in on another man's wife. Movies like this are brainwashing us because you have a "hero" that starts the movie out in mid-heist, running from the police. You don't really care when he exacts revenge on the "bad guys" because he's one too & it's all a wash. One last thing, writers & producers need to realize that having a bare breasts in a shot is a foolish idea. Most guys will be like me, struggling to follow the action but being completely distracted and thus taken out of the gravity of the moment. Stupid.
