it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.
View Morea film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
View MoreLet me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
View MoreWorth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
Two girls thrown together by their boyfriends' violence accidentally kill one of them: that's what IMDb's synopses says and that's just the beginning of a crazy movie. You know, "Beautiful Creatures" is one of those ironical thrillers that makes you enjoy the criminal, since they are portrayed as the good guys in the story. Characters are not well developed, given that they're too simple; however, they're unintentionally hilarious, and this plot just show how many corrupt people we have out there. Even the inspector-detective started lying and fooling around just to make some free money. Even thought the main story is original, sometimes it feels much like 2000's "Panic". I dare to say that sometimes director makes it feel like a Tarantino thriller, considering how shallow the subject "death" is portrayed. I just don't give it a higher rating because there are some few plot holes and the story isn't that genius, but I guarantee it's a good adventure, in every way.
View MoreIf only the baddies had more awful endings in this, I would have smiled more broadly. That's my only complaint. My wife and I have very different tastes in movies-- she's into fantasy, I prefer realism, but occasionally we find a show which we enjoy equally. This is one. It's refreshingly different, and I find the suggestion that it's a Thelma & Louise wannabe quite ridiculous. So it's two women against everybody else...but by comparison, T & L was a quite forgettable movie for me. This one doesn't try to milk laughter out of its audience; indeed, it almost dares one to laugh, which makes it special and probably explains why it didn't do well at the box office. An imaginative little movie, far more entertaining than most of the stuff served up to us.
View Moreeven the dog got in on the act, chewing off the finger.lots of dead bodies all piled up at the end, and they all deserved it too.ah, 'the best laid plans of mice and men'. and look how the corrupt plans go awry when you get a couple smart devious hotties in the mix!! this movie should be shown at those court ordered spousal abuse anger management therapy sessions. LOL !!! Rachel Weisz sure is attractive with that soft pale English lass look about her.this is an OK film for a single viewing and not for everyone's tastes. my copy has an R rating I guess from all the violence. its still kinda funny. starting with the 'plang!' sound when the brute gets it in the back of the head with the scaffolding bar.the moral? see what alcohol does?
View MoreAfter watching this film I came away thinking that the filmmakers made this with a smirk on their faces. I know its done in tongue in cheek but this story seems to ramble and then aimlessly wander about, especially towards the end when I had grown tired of this messy story and the film wants to trick you and not end when you think it should. The actions of the two leads are inexcusable and the film uses the fact that they get knocked around to somehow give credence for they're actions. The best reason for watching this film are the two actress's that star. Susan Lynch and Rachel Weisz are engaging enough but its to bad that the material isn't better. Film plays like a second rate version of "Bound" but without the lesbianism. This is a script that really needed a rewrite. A little of everything seems to have been thrown in! Film really has no focus. Too bad, because they have two good actress's that probably could have done something with this material.
