Fúria Assassina

Why is J. K. Simmons, a respected and renowned actor, in this pile of cr@p movie? Does he owe back taxes or something? I wondered as I watched this. It turns out it's because his wife wrote and directed the movie. It was nice to at least make sense of that. The acting is horrible, and it's evident almost immediately. To be fair, I really can't tell if it's the fault of the actors or the rigid and horrible dialogue but its likely both. Top it off with comically miscasted police officers who looking like they are in middle school and have the acting chops to match and the end result is a movie that will have you cringing the whole way through.

So, here's the dirty fact:

• directed and written by Michelle Schumacher, mrs Simmons
• starred by JK Simmons, the husband
• costarred by Emily Simmons, the daughter.

No matter how you pook at it, JK Simmons fell from grace by starring in this PoS.

Too many messages written into the film I complain about:

• the rangers/police written as dumb and bumbers
• anti-law
• anti-parenting
• anti-medical professional
• teenager did drug

The only saving grace is JK Simmons acting is very commendably good. This, however, is a proof of bad script and bad director can't be saved by good actor.

At least Simmons has something to reply on his nagging wife now.

It's a thriller/horror with a psycho (J. K. Simmons) on the loose. A girl gets into his crosshairs and she is the other main character. The story is simple, there is violence and one pretty disturbing scene where not everything is shown but made me kinda sick.

I assume J. K. Simmons is in this due to his wife being the writer/director, he is obviously a notch above other actors.

There is a subplot involving dealing with trauma but the movie doesn't explore it too deeply.

The refreshing part is that the police are incompetent and cowardly just like in real life, instead of the usual glorification.

I'm not a professional. I didn't go to movie school. I didn't get a degree in script writing. But I can tell this movie is absolutely terrible, and it amazes me that it managed to get made in the first place. How... HOW? If you gave me this script to read I would tell you 100 things wrong with it ... and that's from me, someone with absolutely zero experience in movie making, so how do these so called professionals manage to mess it up so badly. How can they not see how bad it is on paper, how bad the story is, how bad the obvious plot holes are? How how HOW? What a waste of time, money snd effott.

I think the movie's cover looked pretty good and you can obviously tell that it is J. K. Simmons on there and since he is a phenomenal actor and I really love horror movies, I thought I would give this a try. Obviously I saw the bad rating and lowered my expectations a lot but wow.... this was not good. The movie is way too random and the characters decisions and thoughts are not logical or clear. Of course the only interesting character was the one of JK Simmons but not even he could play the role in a way that would make his character unique or special in some way. It's a boring Cat and Mouse game with a few random acts of violence and that's just not enough to entertain for a feature length movie. There were a few scenes that had at least a little bit of entertaining value but overall you could definitely skip this one without having regrets. [4,8/10]
