This brief review indirectly exposes the lameness of most movie criticism today: short enough to appear in an alt-weekly sidebar (really, anything crucial omitted?) and judging the final product against its premise/inherent limitations, not spinning bogus sociology out of it. After the idiotic fanboy tangential explications that came out of "The Hunger Games" I thought the AICN-era review had been definitively proved worthless. Anyway, thanks, now I have an inkling of whether to see it any time within the next 5 years. |
