Saw this film.
Was good.
I gave it a 6-7...can't decide if it should be a 6 or a 7 because I could justify either score just as easily.
Really really good at parts and then it "tried too hard" at others.
Also, I think they did a "veiled" buttrape scene and it made me lol.
they could have made this movie about 45 minutes long if they would have cut out that slow mo portions.
This movie is definitely not shit and is worth a watch...but it would not be worth going to the theater for, imo.
I did not like the ending.
Spoiler:
It would have been excellent writing if One-Eye was actually a Native American and act V explored that and explained that One-Eye was actually going back home. I was thinking (when the Act V flashed on the screen with the title "Hell"😉, "Holy shit, wow: that would be excellent writing if they tied in the whole "One-Eye is from hell*" aspect and then this whole thing would fall into place, One-Eye would be vindicated/reach his peace/explain why he wouldn't talk or was a mute (because that would mean he spoke a different language)/and bring peace to the boy that seemed like he cared.But, nooooooo, it had to be one of those that tried too hard and wanted to go for an "artsy" ending.
If the writer/director spent more time trying to tell a better story instead of winning a Sundance film award, it would have been much better.
*That's because the Vikings said he was from Hell and many of them said that the land they landed in was "Hell." It was almost a no brainier...but I think that that might have been an abanded plot or something because it seemed to fit together much too nicely.
Still, it was good enough to watch one boring weekend. I recomend you watch it, Robtard. You might get slight entertainment or enjoy some of the "acurate" depictions such as drinking salt water.
