Fuzzy stuff

Rating: 8/10 (5 June 2005)

Never a dull moment here, true. A fat 8 for all the stunning effects and dark, iconoclastic photography. Something I've never seen before. Plus there's an awful lot of moments when you just laugh out loud and you do it with 200 people around you, just out of sheer surprise of the goriness of it all. But... I just couldn't make any sense of the story. It set out well with the Willis-part, the Rourke-one, but then it started to fall apart... I am not much of a comic-lover. Perhaps this is a nitty-gritty kind of story telling that is best enjoyed on flat, flat paper? Rodiguez has never quite baffled me with stories from the heart, but this could have done with some deeper feelings and springs. Rourke wants to revenge Rosie because she took him for what he was? Come on! If he's really that inflammable, he would have been killed a long time ago.
