Denzel's great (as per usual), Scott's direction is top-of-the-line, the cinematography work might be the best I've seen in his films (those I've seen). Will be a repeat-viewing movie.<br /><br />"Domino" is the same way, actually, but it's because I'm not ENTIRELY sure what to think about it. I know it's absolutely insane, and that Kelly's script is basically flawless. But I'm not sure if it was too much stylization or I just need to let it wash over me. But as the saying goes, it's better to try and not always succeed than to not try at all. It's a success, but I'm not sure what kind yet.Joelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00781388117830165390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1765008161115599620.post-79389977343870555302011-03-25T18:33:52.052-07:002011-03-25T18:33:52.052-07:00"Sucker Punch" features one of the most ..."Sucker Punch" features one of the most shocking final ten minutes I've seen in a while. Reminds of "The Departed" and "Burn After Reading" in that respect.<br /><br />The critics are loony and completely unfair to this film. It's (for me) every bit as provocative, thought-provoking, existentially complex and thematically dynamic as "Inception," only much darker. Seriously, Snyder's in as much Nolan mode as he is in, well, Snyder mode. He's working on a much higher level than people realize.<br /><br />I dare you to look underneath all the insane visuals, Nick. It's Snyder's best film.Joelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00781388117830165390noreply@blogger.com
