COMIC BOOKIE MOVIE
hence the title to this movie, and in general the whole feel and look to the movie (which btw looks VERY good for such low budget!). many characters in comic books are 2-dimensional simple folk. comic books also use violence as a device, comic books are visually over the top representations of everyday things.
COMIC BOOKIE PLUS
if you're someone who just goes along with the ride, so long as it's all relatively credible, and you like the cast, then i think you'll have a great time, no doubt! this film went way past my expectations! my only quibble, and it's so minor, plus it seems unavoidable with films about greed, HOW THE HECK DO YOU END IT!! if the film was being completely realistic, then the film's ending probably wouldn't happen, but in real life the ending would be pretty dull, and lose the whole comic book feel to the film. I think the negative comments are from people who are expecting way too much from the film, and maybe movies in general.
but it so wasn't! It's one of those movies that through good storytelling just makes you watch, and not want to get up, and the 90 minute runtime just flies by! not one scene is wasted, not one performance is perfunctonary, it's just completely well made all round, and very well written/directed. The great cast of guys who steal scenes in other films, was one i was very interested in, but i sceptical about the actual film, i thought past the interesting plotline,it would be poorly written and directed by a moron. but no matter the ending, the ride there is very well executed, and went way past the expectations i got from just watching the trailer. These types of stories, by which i mean, a group of people who's true natures are exposed by greed and obsession, will either work for you or not, and by default the climax will seem over the top and take away half the audience.
