Perhaps it's not as antagonistic as I'd have hoped it would be, but they're still a great pair and they play off each other very well.
#Band in a box 2017 review movie#
The movie also works thanks to the fact that Steven Yeun (who's boyishly handsome.inside joke, but also fact) and Samara Weaving have great chemistry with each other. I felt they accomplished it, perhaps not amazingly, but they accomplished it nonetheless. They knew what they wanted to accomplish and they stuck firmly to achieving that goal. The concept is simple and they stick to that simplicity and, quite frankly, I respect that. It's just a bunch of angry people trying to kill each other. Whether that be anger, lust, depression, hate, etc, etc, etc. The movie, basically, is about a virus that makes people lose their inhibitions and they act on their basest instincts.
And that's in large part due to the fact that the movie is not afraid, in the slightest, to embrace the fact that it's a B-movie and it should provide according thrills. But, on the other hand, I still felt that I had a blast watching this movie. The fact of the matter is that while the movie is certainly funny and parodies this office environment, it's also not what I would consider hilarious. Part of me is honestly struggling with whether or not I felt that this was a good movie or a very good one.
And The Raid, given that our heroes have to work their way up the building to get access to the higher ups for Derek to plead his case about why he was unjustly fired and for Melanie to get revenge on those who denied her an extension on her loan. This feels like an amalgamation of Office Space, with its satire regarding the backstabbing, parasitic nature of working for a consulting firm where everyone working there is trying to reach a higher position with better pay and benefits. That's neither here nor there, but this is a movie that feels timely (considering who's running the country and his history with not paying people who work for him). That's probably an unfair assessment, I'm sure there's bosses that are legitimately decent people. That is unless you're the boss of your own corporation/company/whatever and you feel like you're king of the world. Maybe you've even thought of more than that, you sadistic fucks you. Moving on, I'm sure you have all felt, at one time or another, like punching your bosses in the face. I'm not here to talk about that show or Steven's exit from it (which was a mistake, in my opinion). Steven Yeun is a very good actor and he was one of the few things I legitimately liked about The Walking Dead (I've made my feelings known on the show many times in my reviews). You might say it was a depression-inspired purchase, something to make me think about anything that's not the fact that I've been without electricity for four months (at least at that point). Long story short, I had no electricity at the time I bought this, but I had a little money and I just said 'Fuck it' and just bought it. I'm a bit of a nerd, so I like to buy movies that have a number of special features for it to feel like I'm spending money on something that's a little more substantial. It's just the movie and a few special features.
I knew that I wanted to see it, but, if I had had electricity, then there was no way I was actually gonna spend the money to buy a DVD that's fairly barebones. I'll admit, this movie was sort of an impulse buy. I wasn't gonna let my first horror review in five months be that of a terrible movie, I was not going to stand for it, goddamnit. Perhaps not even disastrous, it's just that the movie legitimately kind of sucked. The last time I did that in September, with Pumpkinhead, it turned out to be quite a disastrous experience. Why can't you nosy people just stay out of my business with horror movies? Seriously though, part of me thought that, naturally, once I came back the first movie I would watch would be a horror. Oh, wait a second, I thought we were alone. Let me just come in and we'll start to kiss. But now, here we are, together again at last and this moment is gonna be very special. I thought we would never be reunited again, with my forced absence. My love, it's been so long since I've been with you.
