What a waste of my time!!!
Good concept, poorly executed.
if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
View MoreThis movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
View MoreThis is one of those "arthouse films" so I would take it with a grain of salt due to some quirky "indie" "artsy" choices that are made. Thats the best way I can put it without going into spoilers However as a home invasion film I think its a good movie. Give it a watch
View MoreThe key to enjoying this film is understanding it is its own genre. In America, we have heroes like Bruce Willis and Superman who come in with a big gun and leave us feeling empowered over evil. While I have no real idea what the director was going for here, I will say it's different from what we're used to in a thriller/horror like this.People all must have a place where they connect shouldn't they? Actually, not all people. Sociopaths kill with no empathy. Some of the biggest thriller blockbusters have had killers like these: ie; Hannibal Lecter, Ed Gein, Se7en, and such. These show us killers with no remorse and certainly no regard for human life. Why do we love these films so much? That's another post.I didn't just squirm in my seat watching this film, I writhed. Naomi Watts is always an amazing actress in her films and her name appears in the credits as an executive producer. That means she was really invested in getting this American version made. I would caution viewers against looking for deeper meaning. I think that will end up in a dead end. Still, it is one of those films that leaves you so UNsatisfied according to modern conventions that you almost want to communicate your thoughts with another human after seeing it. My wife and I were yelling at the screen several times. So,e stuff we just could not believe we'd seen.Is it always the job of American films to satisfy us? That is an interesting question I think. I say no. We should have films occasionally that make us feel uncomfortable. We should question our comfort in a media driven culture. Once again, I have no idea what the director meant by this film but I think I am getting warm with this thought. Fans of torture horror and thrillers go see it!
View MoreThis is going to be a very simple review - Funny Games might just be the worst movie I have ever seen. And this makes no sense because - Tim Roth...outstanding - Naomi Watts...great - the movie...terrible waste of time. Save yourself and just watch something...anything else. You will be happy that you made any other choice what so ever.
View MoreThis is literally the worst movie i've ever seen. i've always been a open person for any kinds of movie but this, watching it gets 2 hours of your life without making you learn anything. but you keep expecting something and get nothing.that just made me nervous.the only really good thing about the movie was the little boy's acting.
