Review of Dead Man Down (2013) by Edwin P — 09 Mar 2013
A very frustrating film. There is much to like and much to dislike in this Scandinavian-styled flick. I liked the sad, damaged, depressed, vengeance-seekers and their unusual relationship. I liked the tone and style of the whole film, enjoyed the actors, and thought the basic story was a good one.
Unfortunately the screenplay was something of a mess. It could never really pull all the pieces together, and would lurch back and forth between art-house thriller and silly Hollywood actioner. Most viewers will probably not enjoy it as much as I, and I fully understand why.
Disappointing, and a missed opportunity I'm afraid.
