Anyone watch this movie!0? I started watching it a few nights ago …watched the first half and it was great, nice setup and characters…I watched the 2nd hourf last night…damn did it ever lose me by stupid plot points…spoilers
The comedy in the movie especially that involving the dumb racist cop felt very off…it wasn’t funny and didn’t fit…
I didn’t buy the mother burning down the polic station…seemed extreme…
Umm terrible writing involving the rapist guy who just walks into her store and tells her that it would have been fun raping her daughter…umm wtf…they should have introduced us to this character before so we know his intentions…then in the bar he admits to forcing sex on a girl that had gasoline dumped on her…err then his DNa doesn’t match that of the killer…um ok
Then the terrible strange ending…the mother and cop plan to go kill the guy who appears to be a rapist and overall bad guy…
Everything involving Woody Harrelsons character was great though I just wish the second part of the movie went differently…
Great movie. All the characters had some complexity and the film seems to hold both a positive and negative view of humanity. Maybe my favorite film of the year.
If you’ve seen other McDonagh movies, you’d better understand the tone/plot of this movie.
Its an obviously exaggerated/hyper-violent world that is created. When I was watching the movie, I would oscillate between thinking it was great and thinking it was corny, but overall I really enjoyed it. I don’t mind the over-the-top wackiness to it all.
groundfighter2000 - Some of you fucking guys probably can't enjoy any movie, huh?
There’s times to quibble over minor details, and time to let shit slide. You gotta have some suspension of disbelief.
A movie with zero plot holes and super realisitc would probably be a boring fookin movie.
I’m a little critical I admit but I like movies that are somewhat realistic…
Minor details?! Like the rapist guy just walking into her store out of nowhere and saying what he did? Or her throwing Molotov cocktails into pice station and dumbass cop not noticing until the office is engulfed in flames?
How convenient the burned cop is put in the same room as the kid he grew out the window…
It’s worth watching I just didn’t like certain aspects…
Btw it’s totally unrealistic that the dumb cop or even the mother would want to just go kill a random bad guy…I mean, come on!
The rapist guy walking into the shop isn’t all that ridiculous considering he wasn’t THE rapist, and if he’s a sadist that gets off on fucking with people he might have done it just to do it.
