Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
samkan BEAUTIFUL CREATURES blatantly tries to fit in among dozens of British underworld action flicks starring the likes of; e.g., Bob Hoskins, Ewan McGregor, Ray Winstone, Clive Owns, etc., only this time with females in the lead roles. Unfortunately, virtually every aspect of this movie falls short. The plot is plain vanilla with few twists or tricks. The characters are neither engaging nor developed. The "action" scenes are not arousing. If the two leads are supposed to "bond" or form a convincing alliance such is not apparent. Apparently one had had a drug problem and the other was sexually exploited, though such comes off not as adversity but rather a product of the girls' respective shallowness, stupidity, etc. Indeed, the viewer can never "get behind" these characters or care for them. As a result, they are most undeserving of the "happy ever after" ending provided. What I think the makers intended to be sleekness and style just comes off as glib and pretentious.
Prue L It really is hit and miss when you pick up a movie that you,ve never heard of before, but being a fan of Rachael Weiz i thought id give it a go.I was pleasantly surprised. It turned out to be very watchable and made me laugh my ass off. I love a good mystery/comedy. I thought it was witty and original. I also think it was filmed well for an small time movie. So with great humour, original characters and an interesting plot that keeps you guessing what will happen next i think its a thoroughly enjoyable film.Not to mention the adorable dog Pluto. He was so friendly it made me wonder whether he belonged to the actress playing its owner.
rbrb I barely lasted more than 30 minutes with this rubbish. Whoever financed this garbage needs their heads examined. I suppose it is meant to be a comedy but I could find nothing amusing, as the film-makers seem to think is, with violence again women which it at the crux of this movie. What I saw of the picture was unfunny, unconvincing and totally absurd. Unsurprising no one can touch the American film industry with British trash like this. 1 out of 10.
gridoon Too routine for a thriller, too unpleasant for a "comedy" (a comedy? please!), too contrived for a crime caper (let me get this straight: the whole mess begins when a dog bites off a corpse's finger?) and too reverse-sexist (all the men are vicious, sleazy b******s) for its female characters to be even the least bit sympathetic. A misfire. (**)
