Review of Shank (2010) by Darren C — 31 Mar 2012
Warning - watch this film and be prepared for an onslaught of drum and bass that will likely give you a headache you cant shift for days! Its a modern day version of the Warriors, though focusing on a message of revenge more than of them getting home and personally, I still preferred it to the warriors, but only margainly.
It missed the boat with its ideas so many times, tonally all over the place and with ridiculous mid story (I want to call them) dance-offs? Still some good ideas, the setting and the banter were quite realistic for modern audiences, as long as you can understand modern street talk, fam.
Also thought it could have turned up the violence a bit (and turned down the music!). I liked the animated fight sequence but the computer generated one was totally out of place and badly done. Id find it hard to recommend to anyone unfortunately, it has its merits but too many negatives to make it worthwhile.
