I'd Rather ...

Rating: 1/10 (8 January 2012)

*No specific spoilers* OK first of all this movie could quite possibly be the most boring movie i have ever seen. literally the movie could be made in 25 min, and this is because the movie had probably a page and a half of 64 size font script. i did not actually count how many words were in the movie but it was less than this review.
I hear things like " you did not like this movie because you thought it was going to be an action movie", " you didn't like it because you're probably one of those stupid people whose favorite movie is Transformers"<-- NO i like movies like "Shutter Island" "The Departed" which are generally not considered stupid people movies. The movie is described "Artsy" and "intellectual"<--Maybe Artsy because we all know what modern art is. Art is a very broad term... transformers is "artsy".
In reality people would look at the main character and think WTF is wrong with this guy, he's so awkward <- and that's not judgmental. He tries to pull off a kinda Clint Eastwood mysterious bad ass character, but Ryan Grosling doesn't have the look he looks like a skinny pretty boy, with a hipster look, the kinda guy who is not intimidating. low cut v neck shirt- not intimidating.
Also this movie has horrible plot and character development, between the awkwardness and crappy dialogue are really intense bloody scenes that are out of place. The director tried to make "The Departed" or a Quinten Tarantino movie "Hipster" and failed horribly. I am sorry for the long review but i had to save YOU from enduring this movie.
