My recommendation for this one was...
"This looks like a departure from what we've come to expect from Kevin Smith. I have no doubt he had a blast making this one. I just hope I have the stomach to enjoy watching it. Big screen."
Saw a screening of this last night. I was a bit worried that it would be a Rob Zombie-esque, Saw-type, grind-house film. You know, filled with disturbing and gratuitous violence. Let's face it; the trailer had that written all over it. That said, the trailer looked really cool and I was very interested in what Kevin Smith would do with a movie like this.
Well, if I can be so presumptuous as to say that Kevin Smith has come of age; I'm saying it. This story is so well written, told so tastefully, depicting human conflict and struggle, with a blurred line between good and evil and without judgment or the need for gratuitous violence. Everything: the story, dialogue, acting, visuals were brilliant.
I sat riveted to the screen for the hour-and-a-half and by the end could articulate only one word: Wow.
All hail Kevin Smith for he has taken this genre to a higher level.
