A Vingança Perfeita

I thought it was an Excellent film. Noir style with a twist ending. Actors were excellent. Music was quality. Recommended

Loaded with Alice references and quotes - but the only similarities in common with the classic tale is the theme of madness, which in this case was taken and ran with. This movie is decibel lit more style than substance, and curiosity will keep you moving through it despite the badly drawn plot. Characters did their best with what they were given.. Style over substance. It was just my style, really, if only there was more, anything more, to go on.

Despite some excellent acting performances this film didn't do much for me. I felt like it was trying too hard to be too many things. Using a mixture of various film makers styles it just didn't seem to provide anything fresh. The story telling method used too many twists to work successfully. If stylish visuals and multi layered stories are your main thing then give it a go. Otherwise you may find some of the negative comments and low scores this film has attracted to be justified.

My rating 5/10

Cleaver dialogue from all the characters, a bit of crazy gruesome, plus a few twists and you have an entertaining movie. If you liked Snatch, Sherlock Holmes or Lock, Stock and 2 Smoking Barrels, you'll find this enjoyable enough. Not Guy Richie good, but entertaining enough.

I'll start with my usual writer/director moan although this isn't as bad as most, and Vaughn Stein almost pulls it off.

It's visually stunning, has some superb actors - Margot Robbie in particular - but the convoluted story-telling style and, indeed, the plot, make it less than it should have been. You'll have to keep your eyes and ears open and resist the temptation to walk out or switch off 20-30 mins into the movie. The stopy lines do come together, if slightly haphazardly.

There are some nice twists. One or two you'll probably have an inkling of. One you won't as there's no foreshadowing at all, and although it ties everything (mostly) together, you may well feel cheated as the writer(*/director) swaggers about thinking what a clever writer I am!

Still, immerse yourself in a comic/noir-ish nightmare and see what you think.
