The Killer Inside Me

There is a fantastic moment as the end credits come up, the music is a song that repeats the line "Shame. Shame on you." over and over again. It's a funny moment, but it's a shame the film it's attached to is so painfully dull. Maybe Michael Winterbottom thinks he is Lars von Trier, taking the piss. Sadly The Killer Inside Me is just awful, and not because of the violence against women, just because it's boring, and the film noirs it wants to be were not. It goes on and on and on and nothing happens. Maybe it is all a joke. It actually got me angry and I suppose that's something; if you want to pay to have a film mock you, this is the one for you. Shame on me for going to see it.

I considered emailing the cinema for a refund, but there probably was no point. It is a total piece of shit.

Oh and if anyone is interested in it purely because of the violence, that in itself is a waste of time, as it's nowhere near as nasty as Antichrist or Irreversible.

That is all.
 
The review in the mirror said it started off good but went on for 40 minutes too long. That and just the over use of violence against women. He is a serial killer though so I can't see why they pick out one part of his depravity to complain about.

I don't really like Casey Affleck. He's had some good roles but he mumbles too much.


I really, really like Jessica Alba but she hasn't really shined in her movie career. I admire her for refusing to do nude scenes, but I wish she would do a nude scene :D
Her and Natalie Portman together ;)
 
You clearly haven't seen Gone Baby Gone, then. One of the most riveting thrillers I've seen in forever. Casey Affleck deserved an Oscar for that one. I hadn't heard of him until I saw that film, and now, he's high up on my list of favourite actors.
 
Is this based on the 1970's movie with Stacy Keach? I remember it being shown on ITV yonks ago, back in the days before their late night/early morning schedules weren't filled with daytime repeats and quizzy shite. I seem to recall some quite brutal moments - come to think of it it's a Sam Peckinpah film IIRC.
 
fisrt time in ages a film crept up on me that i didnt know anything aobut aprt from when buying a ticket lady serving me said it was quite disturbing.

I didnt quite get the ending and not sure what i thought of it by the end of it :confused::confused::confused:
