Pretty good but...

Rating: 6/10 (10 September 2012)

I am getting to be quite the purveyor of indie films and for my neck of the woods Im downright Siskal or Ebert. But I didn't find this one to be orgasmic as one reviewer did nor crap as others proclaimed. Never noticed the winkie that someone else cringed at because the story was that good or maybe the winkie wasn't. Either way, I've never tried heroin so are the "trips" realistic I don't know but I'm certain I don't wanna dive in any toilet so I'm certain never to try. As far as Americans not embracing flix from abroad that is such a generalization it's ridiculous and that most people don't get the point is impossible. Choose life choose life choose life. Even we Hoosiers can figure it out when it's said several times in the movie and written on the box. So...I apologize I did review the reviewers far more than the movie but in my defense this is the first one of these I've written and I'm tired of hearing that if you don't love or hate the movie with the reviewer then you're a blithering idiot. I liked it just fine. My husband would not have so I watched it while he was at work. (yep I'm a great wife and can cook too). So if you're looking to watch this with your 40 something mans man don't get Straw Dogs. You'll both like that and he'll love ya for not makin sit thru a "foreign film". (Scotland-it's English with a twist!) love or hate it ---no. It was purty good and I'm purty smart.
