Not over-hyped, badly marketed kick a$$ film!!!!

Are you f%&&ing kidding me?? This movie kicks a$$!!! I saw BBFOC at a screening in Cannes - everybody there was blown away by this film! It's got a 4.2??? Wtf?! Maybe the cut I saw is not the same thing as the cut that got released or something but myself and many others there were SERIOUSLY impressed by this guy Sam Akina. And the guy who plays Cash is a freaking monster! People on this site are talking about hype - WTF?? Have you seen the poster?? There was a joke going around Cannes because BBFOC was advertised in magazines for almost a week, and the poster for it was so GOD AWFUL!! We had to go check it out because we'd been joking for days about it and thought it was going to be one of those movies like "Body Armor" that sucks so bad its funny. Not even close! What it was being "hyped" as and what it was were two totally different things. BBFOC is slick, smart, dark, super-violent and funny as hell! It knows exactly the kind of movie it is - whoever is making the posters and doing the press for it doesn't - and that's too bad. I really haven't had that much fun watching a movie in a LOOONG time. Hats off to these guys for making it, I'm really looking forward to seeing what Akina does in the future when he has some real money to work with.

PS - As far as the Tarantino comparison goes, I also saw Death Proof at Cannes. Sucked!!!! All you Tarantino fans who think he's some kind of incomparable god need to think again - the guy hasn't made a decent movie since Pulp Fiction, and thats a fact! He's been resting on his laurels ever since - if any body else had made Death Proof it would have been called a Tarantino rip-off, it was so bad. Nobody is calling BBFOC a Tarantino rip off - they are making straight comparisons to the filmmakers themselves. (and when Tarantino first started out, people made direct comparisons to Martin Scorsese and that was considered blasphemy as well - now Tarantino is his own institution) This guy Sam Akina is a massive talent - I know because I've seen it - and people who say he is the next Tarantino are totally justified to do so - for what he did with that budget and that story, he deserves a f#%@%$ing genius award!!!
