What a let down

Rating: 1/10 (25 October 2010)

I remember when this film was released, there was so much hype and they only showed brief trailers on TV, suggesting that it would be really shocking when you finally saw the whole thing. I saw it for the first time last night on British TV. It was just another film where the main character goes around killing for fun. No real story, no proper explanations, the only 'good guy' is eventually killed, the police are totally useless, the criminal uses a pneumatic gun to open doors (big deal), is dumb enough to get injured himself a couple of times, but presumably gets away at the end. Fade to black. Completely unsatisfying. When will some of these directors realise that it takes a bit more than violence alone and being a bit different or 'clever', just for its own sake - to make a good film.
