Review of Funny Games (1997) by Shawn — 12 Jul 2008
*CONTAINS SPOILERS* I actually had high hopes for this movie. It started out reasonable up until the father slapped the kid in the face then gets hit with the goal club. It went downhill from there. It was long and boring mostly all dialogue, I waited for something to happen the entire time and nothing did, especially the ending, talk about dumb, I watched the clock timer on the DVD player and they spent 15 minutes with the camera on Naomi Watts on the living room floor and her husband, nothing happens, nothing's said, my eyes met in the middle and I started falling asleep, I was waiting for SOME kind of suspense sequence or action sequence, it didn't happen, the closest to it was Naomi casually running on the road.
And the whole "rewind" thing after she shoots the 1 guy with the shotgun? Then the other one says "WHERE THE REMOTE CONTROLLER and rewinds?!? WTF!! LOL And the big finale of the whole hour and 45 minutes of life I wasted, Naomi struggles the entire movie and well.
...they casually push her into the water to drown...
