Disageeable - Man Bites Dog review by JD
A cult film to me is Rumble Fish or Jean de Fleurette. This is a film which assumes that if someone murders casually enough it is funny. Well if it were; the joke is flogged (pardon the pun) to death. The central character is unlikable, the filming gloomy and drab and the plot drags on and on. These are not cult qualities.
