Spectacular but a small lack of psychology.

Rating: Null/10 (23 April 2005)

The cashier at the booth told us "may be it is inappropriate for your kids", so did the door attendant.
Puaah ! I said. My kids have seen "Band of Brother" "The mummy". They have seen plenty of blood. They don't feel anything more.
Should have listen to them. This is extremely bloody. As a matter of fact this this the most violent movie ever made. Fortunatly, my kids left before the gore begins, beheading, dismembering, sword chopping, etc.
The photography is excellent, it is acted with intensity, but it is ugly. Cinema is an art and art should be beautiful NO ? Or it should teach you something or at least it should entertain you a little bit. None of the above. It is spectacular though. The script is about how deep the knife plunges, what face they make when they are hit by dozens of bullets, how emotionless they are when blood spatter their faces, etc.
But that again, is it the most gruesome violence brought to screen ? May be no because it is not glorified. After all, in this dark city, there is some light: Marv wants to revenge the death of the only girl who made him feel something he never felt in his whole life despite his ugliness. I guess I loved her somehow ... That is all there is about love in this movie. And besides, most of those who die deserve it. Good for them ! He psst ! The girls are sensual it is not about sex. 5/10
