Quotes:
Montag the Magnificent: Just look at you. Just look at her, folks. In her armor, her shell. Just look at yourselves. Ridiculous. To hide is useless, my little crabs. It is an exercise in futility. What you all are is pulp, when the rind is split wide open. more

style striving for substance, 31 August 2008
7/10
Author: rob o'cop from New Zealand

this was an ambitious movie that I did like but was plagued by a few flaws. I haven't seen the original but from what I've read this version tries to put a solid story where there wasn't much of one to start with, and it almost succeeds right till the very end where it gets lost, or more importantly it lost me. Afterward I wondered if that was actually a flaw since the whole confusing paranoid vibe of the movie was actually one of its strong points, that whole drugged up not know quite what's going on thing.

The movie did try to explain everything though and maybe that's where it failed, because it didn't make sense, or because it shouldn't have tried, either way it left an uneasy feeling where the journey to it had been kinda fun.

I thought crispen glover was either good or bad, if that makes sense. he had the required degree of creep about him, but he also seemed to be channeling a little of marty mcfly, luckily not so much that it threw off the movie.

I kinda liked kip pardue, at first he was over stylised but then I began to like the predicament of his character being all into his retro style and then needing to watch a DVD couldn't cos his retro pad didn't have anything that could play it, a knowing poke at a thousand to arty for their own good scenesters.

The punk chic of the suicide girls and the hip arts scene reeked a bit but viewed in a b movie way it almost worked, sort of,...

The great points were the music, the editing and the camera work, all skillfully and creatively applied, and really up the stakes and perhaps the expectations for this movie. I think the team that made this movie are going to go on to do great things, a good effort people.
