Painkiller (2013)

Review by doktorwirefly

Painkiller

1/10

Sigh.

I have seriously invested in a really good audio system for listening to music and watching movies so the first thing I will notice is the audio quality. I thought it was a bit loud so I lowered the volume a touch. Hmm? What happened to the sound? In a shot with 3 people pretty much stood back one from the other. I could barely hear the two closest and the one at the back was too loud. After turning the volume back up and a bit more. Things didn't improve much and after a few minutes the volume increased to an uncomfortable level. I'm done. I often watch movies late at night and I don't wish to any my neighbors or deafen myself. I get that with some movies. The volume is increased during action scenes (I find this practice extremely annoying) but this wasn't that. I can't say it was badly edited either because to my ear it sounded like nobody was paying attention to how the movie would sound and levels where being adjusted ad hoc. I gave up 14 minutes into the movie so I can't really speak for the entire movie. This was enough for me.
