If only God forgives then Nicolas Winding Refn better pucka up to kiss the cheeks of the lord himself to beg forgiveness for this film.
Thats a bit strong lets start from the beginning,
The film itself is extremely arty and Refn's use of colour to express emotion and passion is spot on.
At no point in this film did I feel I could get some fresh air, even in the scenes outside I still had the feeling of being trapped in a world that is dirty and close. Gosling showing us a weak side in this film, which he pulls off amazingly well. I can't think of a film where the hard bastard is completely useless to the 'baddy' at the end.
Everything about this film looked like a Drive sequel from the music, style and feel but if thats what you were hankering for then tough titty what you get instead is a very stylised modern day western about revenge and death.
I don't know what I think about this film yet, Part of me would love to say it's brilliant I totally get it but that would be lying, So instead I will say this..... It's alright, acting is strong and believable, setting is ominous and scary, music pulls the whole thing together and as a film it has been made extremely well.
The story would make a great 2nd plot to another flick.
