Review of The Act of Killing (2012) by Greg R — 11 Jan 2014
You may recite one hundred, one thousand times that you were cruel, that you were brutal, that you killed people. However, I am just not sure that I need to watch you repeat that same line for hours on end. Ridiculously awful movie about a group of men who did awful things to people who allowed it. So the hell what? BORING!
Follow up. I made a second attempt to watch this movie and this time, actually finished it. I still can't shake the fact that this premise could have been offered and answered in 15 minutes flat. No need to beat the same story into our heads for over two hours. I cannot figure out what any critic saw in this.
