MYST 3
Seven Psychopaths
This film
is very interesting. While you want to love it because of the great casting of
Walken and Harrelson, you get to the end of the movie and you realize, that was
a waste of 110 minutes. If I had to give this movie a ranking I would give it a
55/100 and the only reason it is that high is because of two things. One scene
with Sam Rockwell on Peyote and the other being just overall a love of
Christopher Walken and his awesome voice.
Basically
the movie follows a man (Colin Farrel) who is writing a script for a movie of a
bunch of psychopaths, hence the name. It then goes on to tell the story of each
of the characters that he writes for his script, several of them being main
characters in the film. The other main aspect of the movie is that Farrels best
friend is a dog thief who stole one of the psychopaths in Farrels scripts Shih
Tzu, and lets say the owner is not happy. Let me just say, why should we care
about a film that revolves around a crazy man that lost his dog? The film jumps
into a world of different scenarios and what director Martin McDonagh sought to
be exciting events that for me did absolutely nothing.
One thing
McDonagh did great though was setting, casting and just the overall feel of the
film style. The camera was smooth, made you feel like it was a high budget,
hard worked on film with some great actors and great plot setting. If you like
to watch a film just for overall satisfaction and don’t really care if you get
much from it in the end, then this film may actually suit your fancy. But for
me I like a twist, a captivating entity in a film and for me this film just did
not deliver that.
Good job with these reviews in your MYST posts. Keep up the good work, but maybe add a little more explanation when you explore the cinematic elements.
