Absolutely Fantastic

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

After a self-indulgent, boring, 3 minute opening title sequence, I was given a boring, self-indulgent feature. I couldn't believe any of the character's motivations. Why was the main character inspired to get a gun and kill that gang banger? Why was there no retribution from his friends? Why did anyone write this piece of...? I have no idea why this movie has received any acclaim, or any comparisons to City of God. It felt more like something I'd see on Mystery Science Theater 3000.It's a not enjoyable, uninteresting, unbelievable tale of some guy who is driven to kill because he has weird looking blonde hair. The premise is lame, but the people around him are lamer. Maybe I'd have believed this more if the set-up was there, but there was none. Did not enjoy. At all.

or that's what we say in Denmark. Anyways, this movie starts out extremely well - actually like a masterpiece. There are great characters and some really creative twists amongst the characters that stand out as so unrealistic and it gives the movie a kind of surreal touch because it simply works. Also there's the whole social commentary thing going on - same theme as in La Zona. It's good for about two thirds.But then the movie begins to act out like any of those Snatch-inspired shoot 'em up action movies. Trust me, the end really doesn't match the beginning and should be viewed with extreme caution! La Zona took things a little too far, but at least managed to keep its style. Man of the Year totally loses its style.

this film started out very good and i thought i was in for a treat. i found it watchable as they managed to make me interested in the main characters but i was a let down by the plot in the end simply because it just did not fit my high expectations. the acting was what gave this film a pass but i think the plot and script let it down. i thought the plot had a lot of potential but turned out weak as some parts just don't fit together and their were some unnecessary scenes e.g him flirting with the dentist daughter while there was little character development so in the end i had a mixed feelings about recommending it as there is really nothing that special about it. it was also spoilt by some stupid things that u will only ever see in films but never in real life as things are just not done as easily as they make it look in this film.

Did anyone count the cans of coke in this movie?Non-spot advertising, like in-script sponsoring, is a huge trend. Examples are when you see someone work on a Mac with the Apple logo real clear on screen, or someone eating Ben & Jerry's ice-cream.The big brands are choosing for non-spot more and more. The choose to show us the brand in it's natural environment instead of putting it in the spotlights (e.g. like in radio en television commercials.)When I watched this movie last night I really was disturbed by all the cans of coke that kept coming. Did anyone else notice this?Non-spot: Yes, but in small amounts please! Don't give us an O.D. of advertising which will spoil the movie! I really don't understand that big enterprises, like Coca Cola, don't rails that 'too much' will only have negative effects on their corporate image.
