Review of Stark Raving Mad (1983) by Xgary X — 14 Jul 2007
Endless fast cuts complete with whooshy sound effects, thumping techno bass lines, ugly on-screen graphics, garish colour filters, and *cringe* a hero who talks directly to camera (Michael Caine is STILL the only actor to EVER get away with that.
..) Every tacky, irritating and superficial MTV affectation is on display here, in an unbelievably lame attempt to make an american rip-off of a Guy Ritchie heist movie. The result is more like a bad sit-com complete with wacky gangsters and S&M transvestites.
Not an original idea in sight.
