Review of Pistol Opera (2001) by Daniel C — 02 Nov 2008
The trailer for this movie is awesome - unfortunately, it's better than the movie! The plot doesn't make a whole lot of sense. The stuff that happens is very random and the camera work is sometimes laughably amateurish, which is odd considering the director is rather seasoned.
The music is fantastic, I'm a big fan of Ego Trippin' now, a Japanese jazz/pop band. The visuals can be really stunning, and I love the wheelchair assassin, so points for that. Still, there's some unintentionally hilarious stuff in here, some cheesy dialogue, that kind of thing.
Style won out over substance. I would recommend going to YouTube, watching the trailer, finding some Ego Trippin' videos too, and skipping the movie.
