Style without content

Rating: 1/10 (30 October 2003)

Watching this movie was a strange experience. i sat here getting more and more disgusted with the blood. (Yeesh Quentine, what's with the fire-hose-spew effect every time someone gets cut???) Admittedly, there WAS moments of style, but these are altogether smothered under a constant rain of blood and gore and a COMPLETE lack of a story line. My experience of this movie was one of "waiting"... i was waiting for the story to begin. What it ends up being is a mishmash of imagery. Some stylish, but all two dimensional. What ever happened to character developement??? i found myself rooting more for the SWORD buddy made, than for the blonde bimbo weilding it. One question i had for Quentine was this: Hey pal, if you went through all the trouble of making every scene with a wound in it so blatantly bloody, why not go for the hat-trick and have the cow getting killed in the end a fire-hose scene as well? Heck, all i saw was some hair flying and the bimbo dropping to the ground. Lame movie. If i could have given it a zero i might have except for some (VERY little) style.
