Well, I'm addled on cold medicine and sleep deprivation, and I had to rewind some small scenes about five times before I understood the words, but I found this movie really, really good. I have no great investment in noir, and I didn't expect it to be a highschool movie, so I guess I had no expectations to dash, but I found it compelling.
For one thing, I know a guy who looks and speaks exactly like the main character, which is odd, and I could see him reacting in very much the same way to some of the things which were happening.
To me, the antagonist's "plan" didn't so much look like a plan, but a series of on-the-fly improvisations given the circumstances in which said antagonist found themself. Which is why it all ended up as it did, because everyone was overcorrecting for previous overcorrections and everything blew up.
Or maybe not. Regardless, I enjoyed it, and I found the language use to be pretty entertaining, when it was intelligible. |
