That was an excellent one.

Good start, but then it gets ruined

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

I liked this movie, and am mildly surprised at the preponderance of negative reviews. I'd have to say that most of the negative reviewers seem to have been looking for something that's not there.This movie came across to me like a comic book... so much so, it's hard for me to imagine this is not what the writer and director were aiming for. Don't look for an explicit message or plot line. And don't look for "realism" (whatever that means). I don't think there's really a "message", or "takeaway". I think the medium is the message (whatever that means).So... How like a comic book? I'm not sure how to say it... Each scene represented a discrete locale, as if a single panel. No jerky camera movements. In some cases the setting had a surreal quality.The action and editing is choppy, jumping awkwardly from scene to scene, leaving you puzzling about what just happened in the previous panel that would lead to the present situation. There's no vector to the story line, and you can't predict where the plot will be going. It just happens... And there are unaccounted for gaps in time, when major events must have transpired, yet the viewer doesn't witness them. In fact, there's not a clear sense of the passage of time. It just happens.The characters know exactly what to say at any given time, as if there were a balloon over their heads providing the dialog. They exhibit no uncertainty, and seem somewhat one dimensional; even enigmatic. I found the dialog terse, punchy, and engaging, and in some cases starkly missing. And they are always perfectly dressed. Where do they live? Where do they get their clothes? Who is their tailor? Don't even ask.The characters don't really evolve much. For some movies, this is a fatal flaw. I didn't see it that way here, especially because I envied their complete sense of place.The acting was expressive when it needed to be, but was also flat at times as well. Finally, the lead actors are what I believe is referred to today as "eye candy"... It made for pleasant viewing.... for me, at least.As a few of the other positive reviews have noted that the style might appeal to you, or it might not. I suggest you give it a try.

This one tries to be cool, slick and witty. But it just comes off as dumb and superficial. Sure that maybe the point of this flick, but not when you don't believe what the narrator has to say most of the way through. This movie has problems with what it tries to make fun of. It's all style and image, but has no substance or intelligence to it. Although not believable but at least it starts out somewhat intriguing, but quickly loses it's flare and just becomes redundant. It's like watching a fairy tale version of the marketing world, which is fine but like I said this movie is boring. The humor is flat and just about everything about it is forgettable, including the dis-likable main characters. In another words it tries to create a image of it being professional, but underneath it all it's amateurishly done. At the end of it all, nothing seems to be resolved and far from it being satisfying.3/10

I suppose satire is a form of comedy, but if you're expecting laugh out loud moments, you're watching the wrong movie.Syrup is a well written, somewhat edgy drama/satire/romance based in the cut-throat world of marketing. The characters are lost, afloat in a world where image is everything, where their very selves are naught more than a reflection of marketing thrust upon them by multinational corporations.The crux of the irony in Syrup is even though the characters work in marketing, and play with the lives of others, their own lives are being driven by the same market forces. This makes for a poignant, thought provoking and oftentimes tragic movie. The acting is fairly solid, with the leads putting in convincing performances. It does seem (to someone to hasn't read the book) that some themes are left abridged and not fully explored but this doesn't detract from the fact this movie is a good watch.

Syrup <3This movie is such an amazing piece of art, especially in regards to the marketing world, despite the fact that it can be considered a bit unrealistic or exaggerated image of reality. The fantastic part is, they have portrayed this segment about marketing in such an artistic way that it can be sold as a movie too, cool isn't it? :PAnother amazing thing is that if you really watch the movie for real, not just to kill time, not only you will get its real essence, but so many new ideas too about how things should work in this part of the business. You will also understand what are do's and don'ts of a particular business campaign, which they don't typically write in the books. This kind of stuff you can only learn by the implementation of such ideas in a systematic, cooperate way and you should always be ready to face all kinds of circumstances. Smarter move would be to float these ideas which are feasible, all things considered. Don't just throw an idea on the table just for it being cool or catchy without really considering other factors. I guess I have said too much about the movie, must be sounding boring to you guys, but one thing is sure that you will be willing to watch the movie right after you watch the trailer! That's marketing ;) Moral of the story, image is an image even if you deeply and madly in love with an image or a person with an image, it's not real love it's just an image.P.S. The character of Six reminds me of my boss. I was laughing at remarkable resemblance between both, related to approach, working style and behavior in the office :p
