Review of Rubber (2010) by Tim S — 30 Mar 2012
Rubber has got to be the most bizarre and interesting film that I've seen this year, and that's over Out, which I found to be postively off its rocker. The plot from the trailer suggests a 'killer tire come to life' movie, and while it does have that element to it, it has SO much more.
It involves a group of spectactors (movie watchers) viewing everything through binoculars on the sidelines and a cop who knows that it's all really just a movie. Whack doesn't even begin to describe it, particularly with the "no reason" monologue at the beginning of the film.
Overall, I liked it a lot and found it entertaining on different levels. I was never bored once and the ridiculousness of it had me nailed to it, wondering what would happen next. My only complaint would be its leisurely pace during some scenes, in particular the ending which seemed to never end at all, really.
I'd recommend this to enthusiasts of strange and bad movies, but not really to anyone else. They won't really get its messages or its humor, and it isn't really reaching to that sort of an audience anyway.
