ok watched a slightly dodgy copy of this last night and i gotta say im not that impressed
although i really need to watch it again before i completely make my mind up.
Spoilers (but not massive ones)
[spoiler:1x6vf5j7]the bad
dialogue is rather hammy in places (you can almost tell Duffy wanted every character to
always have a pithy comeback/say something outrageous line. most of the time it works ok but the dialogue right at the start of the movie between the three cops is simply excruciating.
Eunice Bloom's accent. doesn't bother me that much but i can see why a lot of other people hated it though.
always looking painfully cool. too much too much. do both brothers have to have unlit cigarettes in their mouth's each and every time they kill some people.
there are a couple of oddly homoerotic scenes between the two brothers (which is wierd)
Romeo (Rocko's replacement) cant say i liked him half as much as Rocko. still has a couple of funny lines.
on to the good
i did enjoy it and there's a great twist at the end (for the love of god don't look it up before you watch the movie, it'll totally spoil it)
there was one '1 liner' that had me laughing for a good five minutes ( i kid you not, if you dont find it hilarious you need fixing cos yer broken)
very cool, very stylish (almost too much if anything)
overall it was a LOT better than i was expecting it to be but like it still didnt feel quite right. im hoping the directors cut will round the movie out more as apparently Troy had over four hours of usable footage by the end of shooting and has promised a much expanded DC.
the soundtrack was pretty good also[/spoiler:1x6vf5j7]
if you're a fan then you know you're going to watch this however bad it may be, if you only 'enjoyed' the first one, much as i hate to say it, you're probably better off not bothering.
