i love international films,i,m hardly ever disappointed,but there,s always a first time.this is the only film i can remember turning off before it ended.it jumps all over the place,you cant get to know the characters,and subsequently couldnt care less what happens.its not that i dont like a slow burner(which this definately isnt!)its some kind of a poor attempt at doing a tarrantino style movie,which me and my gf found to be absolute garbage
the gf did the usual long sigh when she didn,t get into this film within ten mins.twenty minutes later,she was rivetted,as was i.it slowly sucks you in.the acting is really good,and the story is very engaging,for me working on many levels.this film is indeed a hidden gem,so much so that my gf went to work,and raved about it all day.for me it is up there with my fave international films
it was just a bit meh!ok to watch with beers n snacks,but could barely recall any of it next day(not the beer,btw!)
this is what my girlfriend said to me when this movie finished,and i have to say,for once i totally agree with her!!i we watched the first one when it came out,nothing spectacular,but a sat nite no brainer.wanting another no brainer this weekend we got this.oh dear,oh very dear!!i could have turned it off half way through and not been bothered.if you are a thirteen year old boy who lives on his xbox,you may enjoy this.unfortunately for me and the gf,we have spoilt ourselves watching brilliant world cinema,and indie films.john wick 2,is right down there with taken 2,battleship,and transformers.the worst film keanu has ever done.
