"No, I was seeing lame directing,"How was it lame?
" albeit with a couple of good performances, all wrapped in a package overloaded with GRATUITOUS violence and cheap effects."
Gratuitous violence? You do know that this was based on a true story don't you? How could an accurate (and by all acounts it was quite accurate) account of actual violence be gratuitous when trelling a true story? The horror portrayed was real. Yoy think it should be toned down? I don't. What "cheap effects" were there?"I had to force myself to finish it. I am not too glad I did."
It is a hard movie to watch. Some human truths are hard to look at. That doesn't mean the film was bad.
"Things like violence and all that other nasty crap should be done with good taste and moderation,"
Seems like an oxymoron to me. violence is nasty. I see no reason why film makers should have to pour perfume on a nasty subject. If a film maker is going to look at violence in the real world I don't think it should neccessarily be tamed down to lessen the blow.
"esle it becomes just a big exercise in indulgence a'la Natural Born Killers, and all other things start to disappear."Accurate depictions of violence in the telling of a true story can hardly be indulgent.
