The Grand Theater
Good
This was actually a great movie, perhaps even an excellent one, however on three points it crossed a line which made it look unneccesarily vulgar and distasteful. Here are those 3 points. First of all, and least important of the three, the scene where the good doctor stiches and fixes the bad guys broken nose, this was gross and had no point to it. We get it his nose is broke, move on with the story. 2nd The opening scene, we get it that he's a bad guy. When you killed the officers in the opening scene while freeing the bad guy we didn't need the scene where the officer bleeds on the picture of his wife and kids, and is then told he'd never see them again. It's totally unbelieveable that the guy was so evil he would take the time to do this, it crossed a line and made the movie unenjoyable. 3rd. The rape scene was unneccesary. To have her watch her friend die and herself get raped was enough, they didn't have to happen at the same time. This is not developing character or empathy it's just gross and vulgar for the sake of gross and vulgar, which is ok, but not in the context in which this movie presented itself. Take out these three thing and we've got a great show, these things really ruined it for me though. Also stop with all the closeups and the fast action scenes. Don't they get it IT'S A BIG SCREEN, the screen is bigger than my house I can't tell what's happening when you move that fast.
