Review of Southland Tales (2007) by Gene A — 25 Sep 2010

Despite the sub-par ratings that this film tends to get, I feel that it is one of the finest future looks at society made in the past 10 years. The world created rivals that of the best genre films ever made. The acting by "The Rock", Justin Timberlake, Mandy Moore, Sean William Scott, and Sarah Michelle Gellar is incredible, following a very well written script.

This film is even more startling when you get into a deep analyses of what is actually happening, and who the "different" characters really are. Many may glance over this film as a poor attempt at redemption by writer/director David Kelly, but I think this is a mistake. When actually watched, this is one of the most riveting tales and beautifully constructed films I've ever seen.
