Badass Town

Rating: 9/10 (6 October 2010)

I didn't know Ben had it in him, but I have found a whole new respect for him in this film. He not only delivered as a lead, but somehow directed a film which really broke out of the usual mode I think we've seen from him.
The town most definitely kept me very compelled and on the edge of my seat, and I thought that the acting was spot-on. There were,of course, a few minor points that I felt were a tad forced story-wise,but other than that, it was a solid picture throughout.
The action sequences were really intense and had me twisting. The character portrayals were real and gritty. The editing and sound design were up to par, as was the cinematography.
I'm glad I went to see this at the theatre. Definitely the best I've seen so far this year. Very riveting, visually done well, and a great overall theatrical experience.
