Movie Review: Disgusted & Disappointed after the first half hour
Summary: 1 Stars
After watching the first half hour of this movie, I couldn't take it any more.
Disgusted: I'm not going to get into the details of the philosophy, its overall context, and any "clarifications" that Jimmy gives later on. But the way the movie almost preaches a concept of how some murder is acceptable during the first part of it was enough to disgust me, and at the very least makes it difficult to warm up to and identify with anything in it. The murderers discuss it ad nauseum, but I was holding out that ol' Jimmy would come in as someone we could latch on to. But alas, no. Jimmy comes in discussing a similar philosophy (at least initially), and this viewer is left hanging. Along with David's dad, I had quite enough. (Your mileage may vary. Are you easily offended/bothered by "mind of the killer" and similar type programming? If so, then you will probably be disappointed with this movie.)
Disappointed: Bouncy camerawork. Continuity error (where's the cut on his hand when his palms are read?). No substantial character to easily identify with early on.
