Okay so the message of this movie is if someone harms you it means you can go for revenge. Two wrongs make a right. And do deal with death the first natural instinct is to steal art...
That is what this movie is. One long "you stole from my family so me killing and torturing yours is okay"
The movie is so dumb. Like actual dumb. It makes The Purge look like a Harold Pinter play.
Acting ranges from AmDram to Uni quality with barely a handful of scenes where the acting is anything other than budget. The worst actor happens to be the lead... Somehow... Ironically she has a more dynamic range when wearing a fencing mask...
But the plotholes are massive:
Backgground checks... When working with art in the UK you have a CRB check. In the US you also need social number. Add that to the fact that what happened to "rose" was in the news and massive...
The other problem is art is rarely stolen. Forged, yes. A lot. But stolen? Its not impossible to steal a painting but it is impossible to sell one. If you find a buyer they cant authenticate it nor insure it... A stolen painting is worthless. That is why criminals go for the much harder to steal and heavier to move gold and diamonds.
That is why the Hatton Garden Heist was a thing, and a group of women have stolen from the royal mint yet nobody has ever stolen a painting from the Tate, BMA or Manchester Lowry.
This is before we get into the whole idea that people traumatised from violence become violent... Erm... No. PTSD actually more manifests as jumping, crying and panic attacks...
Im not marking this as spoilers cause the "twist" is obvious within the first few scenes (if you hadn't worked it all out by the restroom scene where she even says "I wanna have what you have" cause the writers are so pretentious they think that such a line shows intellectual foreshadowing. It doesn't. It's cringe. And way obvious.
Knew from the start she was a "bad guy" and that the film at the end would try to say "she is really just a victim of blah blah blah" ... And I am sure in the creators head if Hitler had been in a camp when a child it would justify the holocaust... It doesn't. Nobody with a rational mind would think that. The same way as nobody accepts when a child abuser uses the fact they were abused as an excuse.
I have been robbed in the street, and beaten up. I got told if I wasn't quite they would use the weapons they had. Afterwards I went to the police and have gone back to my normal life, albeit a little anxious about going out at night on my own. It certainly didn't turn me into one of them.
This movie feels like some psycho idiots wet dream. I am guessing the writer got robbed and this is their fantasy... Cause they sure seem healthy... Huh.
Also quick question: at 53 mins she goes into a bedroom and clearly there is power - an outlet is literally lit up. Right of the screen. That red dot. So when the power is cut in the USA that means wall outlets are still powered? I am guessing someone left their vape batteries on charge. Or something else hollywood preppy.
Also to the review above about Daybreak and Alicia... she is such a bad actress...Literally another blonde haired blue eyed nothing to blend in with the literal millions of others... I mean how many are there? I mean do we need this many? The only one worth a damn is Caity Lotz. But from the dumb bint that plays Stargirl all the way up to Margot Robbie... Do we need them? They are the same actress...
This movie is the epitome of leftist LA: Bland, lacking depth, lacking cohesion or logic, lacking structure and lacking any merit... But it looks good and everyone is attractive and not one person is overweight... But but but but Wahmen is main star, wahmen is bad guy and the two male characters are non entities... LOL. The left is so fake. It cries about not enough black people winning oscars whilst we still wait for someone from Bollywood, the worlds biggest producer of movies, to even get a nod. Or like how long it took for non US animations to win anything with the likes of Le Triplets De Bellville and Spirited Away. To think that Ghost in the Shell, Akira, etc have won nothing... Meanwhile Titanic, the worlds most hated movie (well in the UK it's been voted the worst 10 years running) is also one of the most award winning along with awful "lets rip off dances with wolves" Avatar.
As Ricky Gervais pointed out... Hollywood still has a lot to answer for whilst it preaches to us... Epstein and Weinstein was all of your friends, not the movie going public.
