Review Time: this
project is mixed.
Fundamental elements: there are words and a number on screen, slow-motion
effects, background music, voice-over elements, yes and no to subtitles being
used when another language is being used, mental imagery, cultural elements,
quick moving effects, time jumps and place jumps.
This
title is slow, but now having taken two seconds to think about things, this
project does find its pace of sorts when this right hand-man character with
tattoos comes into the project. I mean it isn't the most quickest anyway but
between this right-hand man and our main character individually or together
they seem to stabilize this title and of what I can remember so there is always
the possibility of I could be wrong, but I think it slightly gets quicker
through or just around the final quarter area.
Storyline: this
storyline is something safe and reliable.
Action sequences/Artistic visions: there are weapons being used, an exercise element and
combat elements. Now I am somewhat stuck here, because I don't want to tell you
too much about this sequence, simply based on the fact it happens right towards
the very, very, very late stages of this project, but I will call this sequence
shopping by night, this sequence shows imagination in its contents and how it
was put together; it is all good.
Now
where the artistic visions come into it; it is where this right-hand man
character; he has so many tattoos; that are covering a high percentage of his
body [well of what we can see of it anyway,] whomever designed/put these
tattoos on this character/performer there has been a lot of work done here and
I will discuss these tattoos again in the next paragraph, but for now all I can
say is you won't be able to miss them and they look interesting.
Character developments/Performances: the character developments are very predictable, at least
with this main character with tattoos, the viewers should be able to get this
feeling; that this character has all the whole marks of being a psychopath [I
should just point out this is not just based on his tattoos,] but let's just
say if they wanted to imply that this character/performer has been around,
possibly seen some highly questionable things, done some highly questionable
things and other things on top of that; well they have sent out the right
message here, but his general character developments and other elements make
him out to be a psychopath as well.
Moving
on to the performances, there isn't much to say about them really they are
solid and they are what they are; this is not a bad thing, there is chemistry
or friction depending what characters/performers we are talking about at that
specific time or at a minimum just able to keep the film going.
This film receives:
5/10, with taking everything into consideration this mark is just about right
in one way or another [I couldn't justify a higher mark, but it is somewhere
between this mark and the next one up after everything is said and done] before
I wrap this up I am thinking I should dictate a disclaimer which basically says
this; I am not saying that people with any form of art on them or in them or
anything other is a or are a psychopath or anything other, I'm just talking
about in the boundaries of this project and nothing more.]
