This films speak to to my love of nonsensical dry slightly dark humour. This films progression and self-reference to director himself quite evident. It also coincides with the directors personality, which is don't take me seriously and let me create. The other part of this film makes it my favourite is this character's. Mark Burnham in my books does this great job in playing the serious and stubborn depressed looking cop in this absurd kind of circumstance. his reactions, or lack of, make some great awkward cringey moments but I just love and it makes me laugh. The supporting cast do a great job of adding to the absurdity of the situation. Normally exacerbating it or having to deal with Mark Burnham's character actions/reactions.
... View MoreI managed to get through about 18 minutes of this. What a load of rubbish! Does anyone know how I can get that 18 minutes of my life back? I mean this is seriously a rubbish movie! (I'd swear but I don't think it'll get approved by the moderators...) Not funny.Stupid.I mean I like movies where cops are portrayed as crooked (Training Day), or cops that are funny (Police Academy), or cops in a realistic movie (End of Watch), but this???? I don't know what other reviewers saw in this? Whatever they've been smoking, maybe I need to do the same.Or perhaps not....Save your time- don't watch this rubbish.
... View MoreA complete disaster. Pointless, awful, irritating, stupid. No laughs, just an unrelenting crap-fest. You might accidentally watch it all the way through like I did, just waiting for something to make sense. But don't. Because it won't. And you will resent it, deeply, in the worst way. You're better off watching the Dexter finale again. There are no likable characters, no believable plot lines, nothing good. No redeeming qualities whatsoever. To say I hate this movie, and that I am deeply embarrassed for many of the otherwise decent actors who, for God knows what reasons appeared in this film, would be the understatement of the century. This is not a movie. It is a really bad, terribly unfunny joke.
... View MoreI have never felt so ripped off and disgusted after walking out of a movie theater. They stole both my money and my time. I can't fathom how anybody gave this film a rating above 2 (except for the plausible exception of the guy that got high before watching this filth).The movie appears to be the work of an incompetent poseur freshman film student trying to make some type of avant-garde and eclectic movie which avoided the stereotypes of Hollywood and standard cinema guidelines. So much of this film was not only non-sequitur (in an unintentional way), but was filled with outdated, offensive "humor" which lacked any punchline. There are so many inconsistencies in the story line and no closure to key themes in the movie. (What happened to the dying guy who was in much of the film? He was just forgotten at the end).It appeared like the director watched a series of early-80's art-house films (Liquid Sky, Videodrome, etc) to be "inspired" to meld quirky music with jumping from scene to scene without much plot or consistency. Either that, or he watched a series of American police comedies (Police Academy, Reno 911) and did not understand that there are several jokes in those which are context-based or have some type of pop-culture reference. This film seemed to want to have such jokes but lacked any pop-culture connection for anchoring any of their attempts at humor.This movie not only falls flat but could only be a cult classic for those whose only method of sitting through it are taking drugs and entering an altered state of reality. The Russian connection of this film is obvious in the way they portray the police. I can only see that the inspiration was transplanting corrupt Moscow police mentality into LA and think that the audience will have both the cultural references for both of these environments. Even with this cultural context I felt completely violated by this film and can't get back either the time or the money I wasted on this worthless garbage.
