That was an excellent one.

Excellent, a Must See

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

While I like Oliver Stone theme of the movie "society's view of murderers" I can barely even tell you what the movies about or have any words for it. Woody harelson is such a great actor but that's basically all this movie has. I was so thankful when this movie ended. Would not recommend or watch. And yes I registered my email just to write this lol

I wanted to like NBK, but the editing hurt some of it. My favorite scenes were with Robert Downey Jr as Wayne Gale. His satire was the most focused. I also couldn't tell if some of the violence was taken seriously or not.

Goes on a bit. The suits who wanted to cut it down were on to something. It could have been shortened by about 25%. The violence ceased to be disturbing after a while. Screen violence is never really convincing, since one knows it is just a movie, and before long here it just washed over my head, and grew tedious. Only psychological torture actually hurts. The psychology here is limited to rather soppy romance, except in the case of Mallory's repulsive father, who got what was coming to him. The message of killing being naturally born was plain enough.Juliette Lewis was good in her part, and Woody Harrelson was OK in a less demanding role. However, Robert Downey Jnr, and the rest of the cast, when it came to the prison riot, were little more than a multiple pain in the neck. This was especially true of Downey and his twitchy face, which became exceedingly annoying and irritating. His would-be Australian accent seemed utterly pointless. The riot went on and on to no purpose, and while it may have entertained the public, when shown on television, it soon ceased to entertain me. The prolonged trippy, psychedelic style grew wearisome, as well. One watch, no more.

To me filmmaking is all about this film. My main inspiration as a filmmaker and a student. The hard work the audacity, the casting, performance, music- everything is just near perfect. The realism, surrealism, the art, technique, courage is just immaculate. Forever will be my inspiration, because of its multi-format sequences.
