Troma's War, Troma's Bore?
Having become a big fan of Troma over the years, starting off with seeing "Terror Firmer" in 1999, I had always been intrigued by "Tromas War" the lost master piece.Then I realised it wasn't so lost and I ordered it from Amazon.I think the main problem I had with this film is that I was too expecting it to be a later Lloyd Kaufman piece, brimming over with the barely contained insanity that I so adored in "Citizen Toxie" and the aforementioned "Terror Firmer". But what I found when I watched "Troma's War" was a far more sedate piece.Thats not to say "Troma's War" is boring, thats pretty far from the truth. It just has a far more traditional flow than you'd expect and the budget gave it a sheen that made it feel as though it's a missing link between a "normal" film and a Troma movie.I'm not sure how to conclude this review, I guess if you like alot of other Troma movies you'd do well to watch this. If you're not so big on Troma movies or you don't know what the hell i'm talking about this movie is pretty much a gateway drug.Well thats me done.
