It's deliberately paced and takes time to get going, but the last hour is highly adrenalised, brutal stuff. Does it add anything? Cover new ground? I'm not convinced, though it's certainly slicker and probably nastier. Only slight disappointment was, even though it's been ages since I last saw it, it all came back to me very clearly when I put it on the other day. Y'know, my memory's shite, I like to feel I'm 'rediscovering' stuff if it's been a while. Anyway. Very good. |
TBH, my memory doesn't seem to be great anymore when it comes to movies I've seen let alone Movies I own
