Pulsing

Rating: 9/10 (18 September 2011)

This movie was great. It was unusual and felt more like a theater space being filmed instead of a movie. That partly made it great. These set pieces felt so unique and singular. Action sequences flowed like liquid onto film accompanied by a spectacular. I repeat, spectacular soundtrack. The sound acted as dialogue in a lot of the scenes which I enjoyed very much. It never felt like a music video; it felt like an internal monologue for the characters. Each track lined up so well with the blocking and direction it was almost scary. These 80's pop punk beats fused with synth made for one hell of a ride and a vicious one for certain. The actors did very well. Each actor had their set and sometimes the music was their partner. There were times when their expression and beats made each scene because I remember the feeling of the scenes more than the dialogue. That feeling propelled throughout and was amplified by the cast and sound. It wasn't a movie about what was being said. It was about what was being done. This movie drove up my spine with neon lights and grit. Great job to the cast and director.
