My latest dissapointment at Blockbuster...will I ever learn.....

OK, this is not going to be a spoiler, so relax.

This movie pretended to be a revelation, or at least an insight into the sick, tormented minds of those that go postal. We can all relate, in some small way to the buttons that get pushed on any given day, although we all know that this type of person is already a time bomb before they even enter the work world.

My biggest problem with this movie was that the whole movie should have been about the first 15 minutes, not the last hour and a half. An hour and a half of total crap.

OK, so the guy took his instruction (and a lot of guff) from his goldfish, and had a small arsenol in his condo. Nothing new there.

William Macey should have been the key figure..the quintesential anti-hero, and I beleive he would have made it more believable than Christian Slater (What the FUCK happened to his hair man?) Anyways, They should have built the movie around the original first plot, but instead veered off into the never never land of some kind of layered, wierd symbiotic relationship between him and the obviously treacherous paraplegic.

The bullying that went on was totally unbelievable and although it may have been being played from the victims viewpoint and so skewed to show his viewpoint, was totally unconvincing. They should have concentrated on the more realistic, covert, sneaky bullying that all of us are familiar with. The sneaky, nasty kind that is the norm, in these days of HR departments and Labour Boards. It just wasn't buy-able.

I'm just dissappointed.

Not the next Fight Club for sure. And definately not the next Falling Down.
