well
the same goes for this movie. The moments of weirdness in this movie just come
off as moment of stupidity and this in turn really ruins the other moments of
the movie that aren’t stupid, and in fact follow a bit of a plot, and are even
at times a bit creepy. The positives in this movie are few and far between, and
since the negatives are more prominent they outweigh the good and in the end
all you remember are the stupid points.
Where Rubber was stuck on its one
trick plot, this one actually has a story more fleshed out, but just like with
Rubber, the story brings in other subplots, and where most of them fail, his
relationship with his coworkers, one of them is pretty good, and that’s his
relationship with his neighbor. The one interesting character and they have him
leave for most of the movie, popping up to give his friend the main character a
call that were it in another movie, would have been pretty dang creepy, like
their conversation in the beginning. However, it is not creepy, it’s just an
irritating sign of how cool this movie could have been, but is not.
I could understand were one to say
that it’s just the director’s style, none of his movies will be easy to
understand, and I say bullshit. Were it his style, why did it change from
Rubber to Wrong? Wrong has a story, a beginning, a middle, and an end (at least
the main lost dog plot does), why not stick with something along the lines of
Rubber? Keep to something totally pointless, instead of going mainstream and
making a movie with a plot and then sticking moments of pointlessness in it?
Were it like Rubber I may have not hated it, I may have liked it because as you
said – it’s his style. (Okay, I probably wouldn’t have liked it, but I may have
not liked it instead of hated it, maybe.)
I’ll be honest; I’m not looking
forward to Wrong Cops. I’ll watch it, but seriously, I’m only doing this for
you, those who click on this link and read my blog – or, well, maybe just click
on the link but read none of it.
