Review of Crimewave (1985) by Ken S — 21 Jan 2015
I love a good and nutty Sam Raimi film. Raimi is a master of the nutball comedy and of unique pictures with some over the top performances. I love the "Evil Dead" trilogy, and the first "Darkman" is fantastic.
Raimi eventually toned down his nutty style and made some more mainstream straightforward films, probably in order to get his hands on some major projects like the "Spider-Man" films. Raimi teamed up with the Coen Brothers to write this film-noir/screwball comedy.
If you like Raimi, and you go into this with the right attitude, then you will enjoy this for what it is, a completely over the top and nutty film-noir genre picture. Have fun with it, and I think you will find a hidden gem.
