Argento, in my opinion, it's one of the greatest directors of all movie history. Unknown for many, he directed/written great gems that deserve a special place in the of everyone who loves movies. His stylish way of directing hallucinates who watches his movies. Resuming: undoubtedly, he's a genius. But, unfortunately, seems that Argento has forgotten how to make great movies. It's pretty sad to know a movie like "Giallo" was directed by Argento. First of all: it's NOT a giallo! If Argeto wanted to pay a kind of homage to the style that he helped to create, sorry, but he couldn't. The story is awful, Brody's and Seigner's acting is horrible, and seems that Argento wanted to make a movie like the crap called Hostel, because there's only gratuitous violence, not the 'beautiful' violence that Argento used to show in his early movies. If you really want to see an authentic Argento's homage to the giallo genre, watch his 2001 "Sleepless" or in his original title, "No Ho Sonno". This is what you can call a great giallo! Please, Argento, stop doing craps like "The Card Player", "La Terza Madre" and "Giallo" and bring us gems like "Deep Red", "Tenebre" and "The Bird with Crystal Plummage"!
