Controversial- Either Love it or HATE it

Rating: 3/10 (3 October 2011)

While the plot was interesting and in the beginning the movie had a great deal of promise, but by the end I was very glad it was over. I realize some people are fanatic about this movie and are even going as far to say it is the best movie of 2011, but be warned, you'll either love it or hate it... I personally fell into the category of the latter. The violence is too much and out of place at parts, the dialogue between characters is slow and choppy, and the music (pop 80s fans will swoon) was just way too much for me. I can't even justify the rash actions taken by the main character due to the lack of character development. I have watched a great deal of movies and consider my taste to be very eclectic and this is definitely one movie I wish I had skipped. And just for the record, I never review movies on here, I just felt so disappointed after I watched this one due to the hype and high ratings (I feel IMDb rarely gets it SO wrong) that I felt responsible to share my opinion with others before they went to see this film.
