This is not entertainment

Rating: 4/10 (16 January 2011)

What the heck happened in this film? Yes, we have lovely violence and foul language and one-liners and all those entertaining vices, except where's the plot?! There is none! Whatsoever! Oh wait, let me get out my microscope...
We have a few different stories all being played out, except they have next to nothing to do with the next. Basically it's a a few gangsters running around killing people, some couple holding up a restaurant, and a prize fighter having a weird day. While each is entertaining in its own respect, the movie as a whole could not possibly have been more disorganized and poorly thought out. If you finish this movie and are left asking "And your point is...?" then you are not alone.
Why? Why would you make a movie like this? I think this is one of those hit or miss, love it or hate type of movies. This is not a movie that you just sit down and get entertained by. It's one of those pieces of "art," if you know what I mean.
And no this is not a masterpiece of film or in anyway genius. It has a rock star cast which makes things kind of interesting, but this movie is not nearly as good as all of these film sheep shouting "10/10, amazing, redefined cinema," would lead you to believe.
