no title
Very dark, very violent, stylized film, somewhat on the order of "Batman", but no lightness anywhere. Premise is dead man comes back to life to avenge lover's death. Blood and gore and shootings run rampant. Brandon Lee was good - kind've reminded me of Johnny Depp. And the head bad guy was very good, with a marvelously raspy bass voice. But after having seen within a few days "Natural Born Killers", a rescreening of "Robocop" and now this, I cannot help but be struck by our society's penchant for being entertained by gore and bloody violence, in many cases quite sick. I see no difference between this movie gore and the Roman gladiators performing for the populace. Sure, in the arena men died, and all on the screen is make-believe, but the visuals are the same. We are impacted with the same sights and sounds, perhaps worse. Why do human beings find this entertaining? This is not new either; people used to love boxing, seeing a boxer's face get smashed to pulp. Because it's not them?
Mesmerizing
This is easily the best film I've ever seen.From start to finish I was simply gripped, it just seems so weird the manner in which both he and his dad died.It's simply a beautiful piece of cine-
-matography, that just can't be forgotten.Forever remembered rest in peace Brandon.By the way how did he get those abs man it was an 8pack not a 6 ?.
The Best Movie I Have Ever Seen
This is one of the best movies I have ever seen. It is the only movie that can excite me, put me on the edge of my seat, and make me cry all in the same hour and forty five minutes. It has everything from incredible fight scenes to a heartbreaking finale. The tragic death of Brandon Lee during the making of this film only adds to the heartbreaking reality of the love story behind it all. Brandon Lee gives a flawless performance in his final film that would have sky-rocketed him to stardom.
Brandon Lee plays the rock star Eric Draven, who is killed, along with his girlfriend Shelly, on Halloween (The night before his wedding) by a bunch of thugs. One year later, Eric's restless soul is carried by a crow and he returns from the dead to seek revenge on the thugs that murdered him and raped his girlfriend and left her to die. One by one Eric makes his way down the line, with the help of a sympathetic cop, killing the thugs and finding his way to their leader who chooses who they kill. Eric also helps Shelly's friend Sarah (who is about twelve years old) develop a relationship with her drug addicted mother. Eric has two days to make things right before he returns to the grave, can he make it? I highly recommend that you watch and see for yourself. A dark, gothic action flick with awesome martial arts fights with a sad love story underneath. Without a doubt, one of the best films I have ever seen.
