I Got a Headache Watching This Movie
While I have to give the movie credit for being filmed in a unique style and color, the color and slightly hallucinatory feel of the screen almost gave me a headache from watching it. It doesn't help that it wasn't a very good movie anyways, and the only reason I even gave it two stars was for the "artistic" way it was filmed (though the movie is anything but), and the fact that I could see how the movie was supposed to work on a whole. However, most of the scenes that were supposed to add depth to the movie were disconnected and so contrived that while you're watching it, you're too busy thinking "Haven't I seen this a hundred times already?" to pay attention to what's going on. Content-wise, the language is the main thing to be worried about, with over a hundred "f*cks" and a lot of other words-- but language is unavoidable in most cases if you are in highschool or up. As for the sex, CSM must not have watched the whole thing: yes, there was a lap dance, but another character also watched a porn movie (yes we saw parts of it), they go to a strip club with obvious, nudity-induced results, and two characters have sex (albeit in a rather odd place), and we see breasts and lots of groping and passionate kissing. However, I will say, for a movie about bounty hunters, there isn't too much violence, (bits sprinkled here and there), except near the end, where every jumbled excuse for a plotline comes together in a big mess of a gunfight/conclusion.
