Truly Dreadful Film

ridiculous rating

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

This is simply a beautiful film to watch. The characters are all believable and the story is true love equates redemption. David Carradine is spectacular and I left the film wanting more of him. The 2 leads, unknowns, will not remain unknown for long. The chemistry between the two was palpable. Caroyn Neff,lovely and petulant at times works her favor upon Rusty Joiner and I actually wondered if these two were an item. There is a "montgomery Cliff" type of sadness that Joiner brings to the genre and I actually felt as though I needed to embrace him...He is easy on the eyes in a Brad Pitt way, as well. Ulli Lommel's cameo sets the record straight that the man still has it. I'd love to see him star in a film. There is a screen presence that is stellar. He plays an aging hit-man with conviction and just a hint of tongue in cheek attitude. I will certainly buy this film when released, but I am hoping to see it again on the big screen here in the U.S. Anyone who his loved and lost cannot help but identify with this film.

Maybe not for this film, but certainly for KILL BILL and KILL BILL 2. But even in this one, just watch him do his thing. There's nobody out there who can match his skills, maybe Al Pacino, maybe Sean Penn, but boy, what a revelation this man is. He lives his part, at least in this film, he IS Raf McKane, leader of the 17th Street gang, he breathes Raf, suffers Raf. His quiet anger, his reservoir of emotions and little things he does. Acting classes of the world, study this man! Maybe it was the rapport the director had with him, I don't know, but Carradine's getting better and better with age, like a great wine. It must be in his DNA. have you ever seen his dad, John Carradine, in John Ford's "Stagecoach"? But David's a renegade, and Hollywood doesn't like rebels. Just look at what they did with Brando. or Chaplin. Or Orson Welles for heaven's sake!When will la-la land wake up to reality and honor one of their best? When he's dead? Is that what it's going to take? Give me a break. Honor the guy now while he's still alive and kicking! And go check out Absolute Evil. It's intriguing, entertaining and different.

After being caged in a Lionsgate Serial Killer Contract for more than two Years exiled German Indie Cult Director Ulli Lommel is back at his best. At the Berlin film festival he premiered and succeeded with the audience, but , as I experienced at a press screening, led also into a real controversy..Love is not colder than death,, because Death is not cool anymore. Sure Lommels new Flic is a hell of a genre mix of film noir, road movie and western with a lot of violence and torture, sure it's still a Lommel with its unique style somewhere between indie and big screen movie, but he's changing the subject. of a modern thriller. Before there were innocents who became bad, or villains, who couldn't cope with their past. But for the very first time, without playing on one's heart strings. Love and Forgiveness are presented as a solution in this deeply violent story . Maybe this alienates, because viewing habits are going to be mixed up, but you can't cheer Obama and enjoy ego shooters at the same time. Lommels Absolute Evil is more a vision for the next 40 years than a reminiscence to Love is colder than death from 1969. And to all you critics who won't understand now: You buried Fassbinder in a Museum , but you're afraid of Lommel, because he is alive!

The film played at Berlinale film festival in Berlin and the premiere was on February 8th. I got the ticket to the premiere the day before and later I heard that the screening was sold out!It's a nice movie about love, hate, forgiveness and murder. The main roles are played by new talents like Carolyn Neff and Rusty Joiner, but there is also 'veteran actors' like Ulli Lommel, Chris Kriesa and David Carradine. I think Lommel makes his best performance in years plus Kriesa and Carradine were great choices to their roles such as Neff and Joiner.I hope it will be released on DVD soon, so I can buy it!
