FREAKIN' AMAZING

Rating: 10/10 (14 October 2004)

I saw this movie the other day at a film festival, and HOLY ****! This movie is an amazing, stunning piece of work. Incredibly cinematic, beautifully shot, and one of the most intense movies I've ever seen. And not just the obviously intense parts, such as the heavy issues it deals with, but even the fights, which take action and turn it into a piece of art. Check out the one-shot hallway fight for an example. Violent, at times very funny, it never let's go, and it'll take your breath away. Having seen this, most other movies I thought of as "very good" have now been reduced to average in the shadow of this behemoth. Check it out and know for yourself.
