Only a 6.0?!?
The Locusts was a GREAT movie! One of Vince Vaughn's best in my opinion! Why does it have such a low score?
shareYou're right. It really is a great movie!
Oh my God!
I do not know what are you expecting for to give a better score!
This production is awesome! The details are great (music, clothing, autos, architecture...)
Each characterization is great! The bad woman (mother of Flyboy) is a great actress.
Vince (Mr. Hewitt) also has a great performance.
The situation is crude... and they represented it almost with perfection!
It's definitely a Tennessee Williams type of movie. Looks pretty on the outside, delicate characterizations, but then an ugly underside is revealed near the end of the film.
I think it's a 9 or 10! Maybe people were turned off by the subject matter....which resulted in the 6.0 rating.
This is a pathetic pseudo-Southern gothic flick that has as much in common with TW as chewing gum has with eating a sumptious meal. Vapid. Airless. Self important. Vaughn's character is an obnoxious busybody with a startling lack of moral courage. Rated 3 (generously)
I thought it sucked.Honest.I did.
sharewhile we're on the topic of self-important...
shareI thought it sucked too, the script was HORRIBLE...especially at the end, it was just like "OH BROTHER"
shareI think there are at least two things at work in people's decisions regarding this movie. First, the subject matter and darkness of the film make it either a love it or hate it type film. Second, it depends on other aspects that some include in their decision. I write, so I tend to be more critical of the writing. I often find myself reworking the dialog of a movie. My daughter is an actress, so she tends to view a film from an actor's point of view. In her estimation the darker the movie the better.
