Wall to wall violence and sexy chicks. GONE DARK is a savvy exploitation film conjuring Stanley Kubrick, A Clockwork Orange, the early Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez days, and even seems to be somewhat of a parody or homage to the TV show 24. Reminiscent of Natural Born Killers and El Mariachi, GONE DARK is bloody, brutal, violent, edgy, and unapologetically irreverent in its pushing the limits of violence, skimpiness, and all out chaos in cinema. This is a movie!
Four super spies come to town hunting down their X-partner who they helped fake his death. When his little sister followed in his footsteps she was mislead to believe that they had killed him because they took the blame for it and she starts hunting them down. They only way for them to survive is to kill him and all the others and be the last one standing. To cover their tracks, the agency sends some ruthless hit men to wipe out everyone.
Adopting a completely new philosophy of violence in cinema GONE DARK shows what other movies would play off screen and satisfies by giving, instead of taunting, what others would just leave up to the imagination GONE DARK shows you more than you will imagine. Instead of spoon feeding an audience savvy enough from regurgitated ideas on television to know how these characters get where they are going, GONE DARK instead shows you what happens when they show up. Treating the audience as intelligent and respecting them enough to let them put the pieces together themselves. GONE DARK will not hold your hand but throw you in the deep end.
Showcasing innovative cinematography and visionary sound design with an earth shattering sound track this movie is following no paths but blazing new trails and rattling every cage along the way. An absolutely amazing ensemble cast giving ferocious and fearless performances. We are sure to see some of them rise to the top of the game. Groundbreaking on every level GONE DARK is not to be missed. Sex drugs violence and rock n roll. GONE DARK is what Hollywood is missing.
