Honest, Magnificent And Flawless Storytelling
Some movies claim the distinction of an “art film” because they are made by some trendy director who used to blow up human heads for a living.
There are no exploding heads in this movie and I think it is a better movie for it. Oh, that other director would order lengthy sex scenes to move the plot along and when words failed he will have his actress vomit to show when she is upset, but this movie is the meat and potatoes type of film that doesn’t pull any punches without the exploding heads and vomit.
These so called “art films” of today only have a few years of shelf life in them compared to a film like this. Today you can have a protagonist mindless going from scene to scene killing people and the people who love it believe it to be wonderful and compelling entertainment. Compare this movie’s writing with the other film that was based on a comic book with characters that are as black and white as newspaper and it is not even a fair contest.
