(2007) Eyes Front
ART HOUSE HORROR
A no plot movie that is co-written, produced and directed by Darren Doane who happens to be a prolific hardcore/punk music video of such bands as 'Blink 182' and 'Shinedown'. Here he makes a straight to rental debut about two different kinds of serial killers which one is seeking for answers he's played by Michael Madsen, while the other isn't( from what I gather from reading the back). It's one of those movies where the person who made the movie is the only person who'd understand it who is Darren Doane. Which there are times I too enjoy contradicting and convolute my own movie reviews on purpose so that I would be the only person who'd understand it just so it can help me solidify my key points whenever I would rewrite them again since I watch movies without a pad and paper and rely only on what I remember. But regardless, this movie is a reminiscent of many music videos since it starts off with the Madsen character asking a stupid rhetorical question like "why is there a god"!, and "why is there evil!" after he kills his wife for it's just one babble after the next. The other killer kills one person and then whacks two more with a hammer then he goes and talks to himself like a mental reject. That is probably the only excitement throughout the entire film which the director depends on many flashbacks some more incoherent than others. And because the budget is low, it really shows as he fills the movie with pointless hard punk music scores for people who have heard of him would probably understand this movie more than frequent movie watchers. Footnote: According to imdb.com, this also happens to be Christian Madsen's movie debut who's the son of Michael Madsen. Bomb.
