'I've seen way way worse' from another reviewer...
so this is to be taken, HOW? As if this movie is actually worth one's time? I guess it depends on our mood. I don't know if it was the same reviewer who said that 'people who will criticize this movie probably enjoy dumb comic book movies'. And i guess that means that all comic book movies are dumb.
Or does it indicate more about the reviewer?
In any case...this movie is NOT cringeworthy...it's decent 'paint by number'. It's just funny to hear DeNiro trying to do a southern accent. Malkovich does a LITtle bit better...i have not a CLUE as to why DeNiro did this film. Some people wrote 'for the paycheck'. Hmmmm...yeah. Because he hasn't made anything from his other films, i guess...and anyways...why should he be beholden to ANY of us 'spectators'...
i think the movie, though not any great work of art, might be therapeutical to the many who were affected by opiates, in any form, over the last few decades...this, of course includes relatives.
While revenge isn't, necessarily, the best form of payback(i believe in letting someone's choices catch up with them...but i'm not asking anyone else to follow this way of dealing with being wronged), revenge MOVIES can be a great outlet...high or lowbrow...doesn't matter.
