The Last Days of American Crime

Decent story if it had been done right. Some ok parts.

Overall, irritating acting. Boring characters. Tries to hard.

Netflix pushing quantity over quality. Again.

I think the plot or storyline is pretty decent. But the way it was executed was horrible. Changing of scenes felt abrupt with no flow ; found myself questioning who is who. A confusing, yet really slow movie that makes you question if you should continue watching.

Interesting idea behind the plot, but what a shame.

Annoying?: Edgar Ramírez is..

How does he keep getting work by the way, I mean he's soooo bad?: he's kinda handsome, I guess?

He kinda looks like a bearded John Mayer doesn't he?: yeah maybe that's it.

Bad writing?: Well duh

Wait, Sharlto Copley is in it?: oh yeah, almost forgot, he doesn't get much to do

Is his character at least an important part of the story?: No that's just it, not at all, there is absolutely no reason at all for him to be there!

Overly long?: overly long!

Gratuitous sex scenes?: whadda you think?

Will I enjoy myself if I expect nothing and completely turn my brain of?: I did!

Is that a redeeming quality?: I guess not ..

Usually I write positive reviews but for this movie I specifically wanted to add a review so none else lose their time the way i did watching this. First of all the runtime... why do you take 2,5 hours to develop and conclude this story without actually developing the story itself and its characters..?! Directing...Olivier Megaton is actually a good director, but here he didn't pay too much attention in the editing or directing. Scenes are scattered and disconnected, with random parallel stories which do not deliver anything extra to the film. They just tire the viewer. The violence... is only used to provide "action" to the slow-burn and dull storyline. The story itself... the idea is not bad, the delivery and the stretch of the idea to make it a 2,5 hour long movie; yes that's very bad. Acting...here it is actually 50/50. Some moments are rewarding but not enough to save this film. Overall, I m rather upset that someone spent all this money to create such a time-consuming, violent and pointless movie. 2/10 , don't waste your time.

The name is appealing however at a point I felt like that this was another movie produced, written, directed by our very own Tommy Wiseau.
