To start, this movie I am going to suggest for your viewing pleasure is rather dark, and I am sure that some people out there will be pissed at me for suggesting it.
The name of the movie is, "Nine Dead":
Some of the acting in it left a little to be desired, and there were some technical errors in the movie (if you enjoy finding technical errors - see if you can spot them all - my brother is a wiz at this).
Also, the movie revolves around kidnapping, murder, and revenge - yes, all very dark. However; I have to say that the movie did demonstrate the following:
1. How easy it is for men to be arrested, tried and convicted for crimes they didn't commit.
2. Corrupt District Attorneys (female ones at that!).
3. People failing to question society's reasoning for imprisoning a man, and whether or not he is actually guilty.
4. The "callous" attitude towards young men, or at least, "careless" attitude.
5. The above item leads to - male disposability.
6. Callous, spiteful, self-centered, and psychopathic women in positions of power.
7. Marriage as being a "money-train" for women (it demonstrates this briefly anyway).
In case my favorite internet-clown is reading (which I doubt):
DISCLAIMER: I recommend this movie as entertainment. It is dark, and filled with crimes that should never be committed by anybody - ever. However, I feel that the movie did in fact demonstrate some "fundamental truths" about how men, more specifically, young men, are treated (MISS-treated) in our society today.
If you do watch, it, please let me know what you thought about it...
NOTE: The YouTube commenters are referring to it as "similar to SAW" - so, I guess that if you enjoyed "SAW", then you might enjoy this movie??
Anyway - let me know...
I like mysteries like this, and I thought the end of the movie made a very male-positive message - it is a pity the movie as a whole revolves around kidnapping, murder, and revenge...
Another good point about the movie - I'd argue that the main antagonist is actually a woman, not the man in the blue mask...
I actually saw this on Netflix a few weeks back and was pleasantly surprised. The story seemed to move along pretty good, reminded me a bit of the movie Phonebooth.
ReplyDeleteWill have to add this to my Blockbuster acct. Seems interesting. Had the same thought as the Youtubers (seeming to sorta be a SAW ripoff) but with unlimited movies for a mere 20$ a month, it's worth taking a look at!
ReplyDelete@unbridled poet - while I can see the similarities, it really isn't quite like saw.
ReplyDeleteIt is more "revenge-based", rather than "teach you a lesson" based.
Also, the movie isn't about "gore", its more about how the actions of people effect other people...
@Captain No Marriage...
ReplyDeleteI have netflix too - I do not watch TV anymore.
It is nice to not have to watch any commercials, or news flashes anymore.
That crap always ticked me off...
Definitely adding this to my queue, sounds like the perfect Thursday night movie. Thanks for the recommendation.
