love/hate cinema

Pretty solid noir that makes up for its blandness of plot and mystery with the natural conflict that arises from the premise and a colorful ing character in Don Cheadle as the unpredictably combustible Mouse. It helps that it has perfect grasp of tone and is light on its feet but I was thirsty for some more style. I think ultimately why this wasn't a slam-dunk for me was Jennifer Beals's dull performance and unglamourous getup in a film that needed her to be resplendent.
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
in bollywood, rape only exists to titillate, the raped and murdered does not matter as anything but an excuse for the man to justify acting on his barbaric fantasies. wish I could have had fun with this but all these hollow lectures and grand standing amount to nothing but an insult. fuck this movie. fuck bollywood. fuck this ass backward country.
