... made by two guys involved in the making of Boondock Saints (an unintentionally funny movie made by a ridiculous guy.) Real life is so much more interesting than fiction.
one of the best (and strangest) film nobody has ever heard of September 6, 2008

This is a great film, but it never got the attention or exposure it deserved. People compare it to Quentin Tarentino, but that doesn't do it justice. Quentin Tarentino has never done an original film in his life. Its all just homaige and 1970s explotation nostalgia. The other thing it has that Tarantino doesn't have is a sense of humor. In a certain way it owes more to something like fight club than tarantino. There are lots of "stand up and be a man" moments in the film.
The structure of the film with the police investigating what happened and then showing what happened worked well. The flaws in the film are a slow start and the lack of an ending. Its a film with a particular audience and appeal. Its not going to go over well with people outside that audience.
The film should really be remade with a bigger budget. With tweaks to the script and some more expensive action sequences, a new version of this film marketed properly would bring in a ton of money.
An Undiscovered Gem August 17, 2008
I watched this for the first time just a couple weeks ago and now I own the unrated special edition. I couldn't believe a movie like this was not a major release. A very powerful movie with heavy subject matter. It's the kind of movie that really gets inside of you. I thought the actors were great except from some minor slipping of the Irish accent of the two main characters.
I truly think that this us an undiscovered gem of movies, a must own. That said, I think you also have to enjoy a certain type of movie to enjoy this like Braveheart, Goodfellas, etc. Some people might not like the violence, which I thought was necessary to tell the story effectively. I highly recommend this movie and wish there was a sequel or even a prequel.
great purchase August 4, 2008
