Review of Bernie (2012) by A T — 01 Jan 2013

Bernie is strange, but the performances are fantastic. Never have I ever said Jack Black gave a noteworthy performance. He basically channels all the terrible energy he has used on past projects and creates a character that is morally ambiguous and is completely psychotic.

You feel sorry, but angry at the same time for Bernie and it makes me proud to say Black finally made something interesting. McConaughy and MacLaine are also ok in supporting roles, but it's Black who shines.

Also, the unconventional approach of a fictional-documentary with real people from the events makes it a tad confusing who is acting, but at the end it's still entertaining to see the verdict.
