Tonally Perfect, 2 July 2006
10/10
Author: onetbReel from United States

I disagree with the person whose post says that this movie is tonally inconsisent. Judging from how people responded to this post, I see that I am not the only one. This movie is, in a lot of ways, radical. The storyline is original and very coherent, but the story telling method is unconventional. This is not Spider Man 3. This is a movie that makes you think. But unlike a lot of movies that make you think, I was never bored. Seeing the insides of Juvenile Hall and a nut house for kids was a pretty wild ride actually. The movie did not go where I thought it was going to, and I think that's what I like about it the most. This is especially true about how the movie ends. It was astonishing and thought-provoking and challenges a lot of ideas that similar movies are trying to peddle. This film is punk rock in movie form.
