Review of Big Bad Wolves (2013) by Facebook U — 09 Dec 2015
Obviously, Tarantino finds this film a marvel. Totally his style. The paedophile subject is really getting popular in films. Here again. It's a bit too easy. In this film, we don't have a shred of evidence that the prime suspect is guilty.
He does not look the part of gruesome killer at all. Even I that have encounters many killers of many types, I could not imagine this one guilty. So, the whole thing really was insane when a cop and a father's victim decided they had found their murderer.
I was annoyed, I was creeped out, but then it turned out a bit funny. Enough to be watchable and wonder how it was going to finish. What was going to be the jokes? Some were predictable, obvious even.
The guilt about the victims was ironic. I even admit, I had a sweaty smell by the end. This explains the three stars instead of two. Unfortunately, the end was disappointing, for children are not that much of suckers.
I am still waiting for a film that makes the abducted child, the winner. Abductors don't really expect the child to be able to outwit and overcome them. I'm not talking home alone, I'm talking reversal of situation for adults.
