One-dimensional, macho, pseudo-arty trash

Rating: 1/10 (7 January 2008)

This movie is the worst one I have seen in ages. Hailed as some kind of cult movie because done in black and white with the occasional red in some scenes, its content is outrageously and plain stupid. Its target group (hence the cartoon format) is certainly adolescent male adults. The lines are unintentionally comical because they seem like a compilation of all super-heroes' tough lines. Worst is the movie's unashamed sexism. All thinking beings (and unfortunately the protagonists are thinking out loud their brainless trash lines) are male. Females, who are mostly prostitutes (or "merchandise" as they are pseudo-critically called)or dancers who are not assumed to think while they are pleasing the oversexualised males. Moreover are they all in need of male help or protection throughout the film, which constitutes again a nice appeal to primal male urges. One woman, a lesbian, who, of course, appears naked in her first scene, is called a 'dike' by one of the protagonists, even though he cannot comprehend her sexual orientation because 'with that body she could get any guy". In real life you would get punched in your face for such stupid statements. In this movie for some strange reason, and I suspect it is due to its 'arty' form, this gets elevated to a level of cult.
This movie is horrible stupefaction and should be watched more critically.
