Russell as a person, he is undeniably a terrific director. The whole film was clever, brilliantly acted, well written and directed. Yes, there were some liberties taken with what actually happened BUT overall the film is pretty accurate, all together.<br /> Also agreed with you on Snowpiercer. A powerful and smartly written post apocolyptic film, but seemingly missing something. I liked it for a 3 star film but not 4, like I was expecting after all of the buzz I had heard. Rumor has it there is an over 3 hour long director's cut floating around but that the studios thought it was too long for us mere mortals to grasp. We, after all went in droves to see long ass films like the Lord of The Rings trilogy (each film 3-4 hours long and then some) , the full length Dances With Wolves (over 3 hours), Blackhawk Down (almost 3 hours), The Wolf of Wall Street (almost 3 hours), Gladiator (almost 3 hours). Yea, those studio execs really know what we want. NOTICE TO STUDIOS: PLEASE STOP SPOON FEEDING US LIKE WE ARE ALL A BUNCH OF BABIES. WE CAN HANDLE LONG FILMS AS LONG AS THEY ARE GOOD. Roger Ebert once said, "No bad film is short enough. No good film is long enough." Some might take issue and I have seen films that are time just right. But Snowpiercer ends seemingly lacking something. It starts out in the thick of things which is okay but there is very little leading up to where the film starts. I liked Snowpiercer and would recommend it. Chris Evans who, aside from his role as Captain America has not made that big of an impression on me as an actor. The Fantastic Four films were laughably bad and Cellular was decent, at best. In Snowpiercer, Evans is terrific and is the reason to see the film. His performance aa Curtis, the chosen leader of survivors on the train called Snowpiercer after the Earth is destroyed, is smart, filled with humanity as a flawed being and strength. He is intelligent but still quick thinking on his feet. There was a knock down, drag out fight between the film's witer and director, Joon Ho Bong and the studios which delayed the release for almost an entire year. What has been released is a good, if not great film. It IS worth watching at the theater, but hoping they release the full length director's cut on DVD, is my wish. I blame the studio not film makers.<br /><br />American Hustle-**** out of 4<br /><br />Snowpiercer-*** out of 4johnnytwotoeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05234231830742536580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-581386594316975886.post-30406825256300139922014-07-06T20:47:21.129-07:002014-07-06T20:47:21.129-07:00You said it, Woolgatherer!!

Howe...I thank you for your responding to my review. However, Refn failed to illuminate anything with this film, It was without point on any level. The actors are sleepwalking through this film all the way to the bank and Refn has no real points to make. Fight Club might have been criticized when it came out but it made its point and people could then agree or discard it. I picked up its point quickly and appreciated Fight Club. Yes, Fight Club is a cult classic with good reason. Only God Forgives is a disgusting mess without any merit other than its slick cinematography and score. Watch Drive and Fight Club and you will see those are how to push the envelope and become cult classics. But I thank you and your 2 cents are worth more than that! Glad we can talk like 2 rational people and disagree but part as friends.
