One of the best films i have seen
... View MoreGood start, but then it gets ruined
... View MoreThis movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
... View MoreExcellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
... View MoreThis movie is too psychopath, and the worst is that sometimes they try to be funny, weird af!!!
... View MoreThis film tells the story of a mute man who does everything he can to find his missing girlfriend.The visuals are great, and the film does look like a futuristic ghetto. Alexander Skarsgard is wonderful as a mute person, he portrays the character in a way that evokes much sympathy and connection with viewers. With tighter editing it can be sped up, it would have been even better.
... View MoreThis film really turned my head around.Other reviewers have said the plot makes no sense. I can agree with them in a way. But I think it depends of what kind of sense you want gain from this film. I get a raw slap in the face sense of emotion and beauty and many angles and directions of human behaviour from it. Do we always need a song to "make sense" or can the sense be mainly carried in the emotion and pulse ? Can the same be true for a film ?Personally I think the plot was easily strong enough to hold this film together enough to carry story line journeys into the inner workings of its characters. This to me is how a plot should best be used and produces the greatest stories and films. The actors lived their parts as if they were acting out of things personal to them. The sets and cinematography were used to exquisitely enhance their expression.A rare and classic film.
... View MoreI'm very surprised by the low ratings here. As a cyberpunk fan I found it to be really good. The distopian universe they depicted is both a beautiful hommage to what's been done (with some direct visual references) and a welcome expansion to the genre. I'd say that if you like Blade Runner and the Ghost in the shell anime series then you'll likely enjoy this one. The artisic people behind it did a terrific job creating a believable neon-lit Berlin and depicting the daily life of it's citizens.So with that, do not expect a sci-fy action movie packed with laser guns. The narrative revolves around a mute guy knocking around doors looking for someone dear to him, unraveling the mystery of her disappearance. I personally like this idea of the main character to be mute as it creates more interaction with the surrounding world and it's people, thus sometimes creating funny situations. The other main characters are kind of a wierd bunch with a twisted backstory, the kind of story that's pretty common in the cyberpunk genre. (I mean.. even Blade Runner has it's share of 'em)Now the score by Clint Mansell is definitely way more subtle than what he previously composed for "Moon" but I guess the point was to help the believability of the universe, something around those lines. The result is that you don't think about it much, while still enjoying the ride.To sum up this is one of those movies I'll gladly watch again from time to time as it is, to me, a welcome addition to the cyberpunk family.(English is not my mother tongue, sorry about the painful-to-read sentences, but this movie doesn't deserve such low ratings)
