Drop the Curtain and Move On

Rating: 7/10 (5 June 2013)

Pretty vulgar, pretty ultra-violent, and some pretty Cinematography are things that are the attraction here. Announcing itself as something Hip and Cutting Edge, it is not. This type of thing used to be unconventional before Scorsese, Tarantino, and the overrated, one-trick Pony, Guy Ritchie.
Now, this Movie seems familiar, but yet it is still new enough to gain some attention, and some overpraising. There is some Fun in this that is not without its price. Excessive and redundant at times, it can be an entertaining, if a deficiency of taste is to your liking.
This does show that Colin Farrell can be a likable and effective Actor, in fact, the Performers here are all up for this ostentatious offering. It's a crude and funny attempt at something or another about despicable Characters with a "tender" side, and the Audience is suppose to believe that there is Beauty, if one looks, everywhere. Even if the surface is Horrifying, like a Painting by Bosch.
The ending is the weakest part of this otherwise successful, but rapidly becoming overused, Story and one cannot help but wonder when the curtain will finally drop, because this type of thing is now found itself to be Clichéd.
