[NEohioPAL] Mini mini review: Watch your wallet

[michael goulis]

I will admit that to a degree I was also dispointed that the build-up didn't lead to a more political show-down but:

 

I found the acting of the lead actor- not out of Hollywood, but South Africa- to be great and proving that not all great acting is not coming out of the Hollywood machine.  

 

I won't spoil the ending but I'll say that it is NOT the same as Independence Day and I dont think any mainstream American movie would allow for it to end as it did and it was thus, refreshing.  

 

Just offering a counter-point.  

 

Mike

The mainstream cinema has picked my pocket yet again. District 9 spends 40 minutes or so setting up something pretty interesting, then turns on its heel and morphs into an action flick of quite ordinary ordinariness, complete with endless repetition of the "slow music behind frantic action" trick. Yuk. Maybe they thought we were too dumb to notice.
