A classic film noir
Added 12/25/2008
I don't know what film noir means, but I think this is one. Anyway, this movie is a classic. It is an art film. To me, it falls in the category of sort of super-realistic or naturalistic films with protagonists who are not really good people in any accepted meaning of the phrase, like Sam Peckinpah's films. It may not be as good as The Wild Bunch, but if you liked the Wild Bunch, you will like this movie, provided you can handle the hispanic, post-apocalyptic milieu. Another film that it is similar to is "Sucker Punch". These are not films for everybody, but on the other hand if you are a fan of this type of tongue-in-cheek, over the top realism, you shouldn't miss this one. I hope at least Paul Morrissey knows what a good film he made.
