Review of The Bastards (2008) by Juan Pablo Z — 26 Aug 2009

Incredibly slow moving movie (some static shots last 4 or 5 minutes!!). The dreadful pace leads upto a horrific scene in the final 15 minutes that is truly shocking. I couldn't help but think the writers came up with that scene and how to shoot, then built a movie around it.

Still, even though the pace was tiring and seemed like nothing was going on, I found myself interested in the two main characters.
