Definitely solid action packed dad movie 90s western stuff i expected and wanted but also weirder than i expected. Figures given the apparent Bts difficulties but its not only that, theres just so many “off” elements to it like the ambiguous morals mixed with the hollywood style of storytelling or the fact val kilmer is sick the whole time or maybe its that slightly depressing epilogue after the happy ending after an already pretty downer ending imo or maybe im…
Its definitely got those Stephen King adaptation vibes which makes sense once i realized Tom Holland actually did write the screenplays for some stephen king films besides this and Child’s play.
I can definitely appreciate the oddity of this and we do get a properly cooky and dark ending that is legit entertaining in a horror/suspense way but also hilarious.
Skipping the Fellini Festival to smoke atomic weed and have sex is a great metaphor for my taste in film.
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
"I'd done too much to turn back, and I'd done too much to go on."
A brutal coming-of-age film. An anti-Lady Bird in its realistic violence and tragic finale. Easily mistakable as a glorification of the lifestyle with its convertible Mustangs and flashy gold rims, but are the cars worth dying over?
The ending truly brought me close to tears, maybe even more so than Boyz N the Hood, an untouchable masterpiece.
