Breaks some rules alright
As another reviewer stated, this movie does break rules. But is that enough? And through all the rule-breaking, there still is a core/central storyline that does seem familiar, to say the least. OK so some people will/might be offended by the sexual nature of the movie and or maybe by the violence. Although the latter isn’t quite as brutal as some other movie efforts, you might have seen. Why is this special then compared to those movies? The cast plays into that. Who would’ve imagined, Cuba Gooding Jr., Stephen Dorff and Helen Mirren (although only the latter is a real surprise here). A nice little movie, but apart from the obvious scenes that try to provoke a reaction (especially in America and the moral standards, that are implied by some), this isn’t really a movie that I would call a classic! I thought it was OK, but it won’t shake up your world …
Disturbing, Brilliant Performances
This is a movie you love or hate. I loved it. First, the “preposterous plot.” Helen Mirren is a gorgeous woman. I had no problem believing Cuba’s character would desire her in addition to be utterly loyal to her and dependent on her). I liked that the story’s time-line was longer than just about any kind of crime thriller you’d see these days.This is definitely not a popcorn movie, and you will find yourself shocked at the violence and then moved by the touching scenes. Nothing is exploitive or gratuitous in this film. The grisly violence, intense sexuality and touching interdependence of the characters serve to underscore just how absurdly varying a life (or lives) can be.
I think sometimes moviegoers expect too much from film. Not every movie is A Streetcar Named Desire. There were important, fundamental themes in this movie – love, lust, loyalty, guilt, shame… all brilliantly conveyed by the actors. If you have a problem with imperfect plots, rent a documentary.
