Totally Redefines Film

Rating: 10/10 (9 August 2005)

Really, this film isn't just excellent due to the stories, the acting, the cinematography, the soundtrack - no one thing is more amazing than any other. But together all those incredible elements combine to make a film like none we've seen before. The sheer calibre of these actors (Count how many names you know!) sets you up for a good movie, the look of the shots, the ambiance and the feel of the storyline is amazing. I need more superlatives. Just watch it and you'll see what I mean.
I was expecting something a lot less thought out and clever, a lot more pulp than true fiction, but the three episodes contained in the movie all show what I'd call a twisted and gripping reality. The actions and morals of the characters are stylised - this is a fictitious world - but they still relate back to the stories we all relate to. I think that sums this movie up: an action packed, stylistic masterpiece that knows its bounds and exploits them perfectly.
