CARNAGE
Today's NYTimes Best 1176 Film was
All hokum all the time.
A B-western dressed in B-biker movie drag.
The main villain is mad because his boyfriend got killed by the hero.
Homovillainuals.
And so on.
And on.
And, did I say, on?
There is a nice dog in this sequal to whatever the first one was named.
A spoiler. He gets killed.
In the first one, Max' wife and baby got killed.
This film is proof that sequels suck.
Oh yeh.
Mel Gibson of course.
You can see the S&M promise of the jesus movie in his eyes.
Well, one eye is closed at the end.
Another spoiler.
Actually you cannot spoil a film like this one.
It is predictable and inevitable.
Now, let me say that the costumes are great.
The character actors are wonderful. Aussies just look terrific.
The chase scenes are inventive.
I even jumped a bit on one of the 'hits'.
What else can I say?
Avoid sequels.
I will give this a 2 out of Netflix5.
I think that the NYT Best Film guys got carried away with their testosterone (if any) and adrenaline.
Here are the homos.
