Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Pjtaylor-96-138044 I can see what this rustic black comedy is going for but 'Sightseers (2012)' just doesn't connect with me. I don't identify with the characters or story and the almost purposeful lack of meaningful drive means it's difficult to become engaged with. There are inspired moments of dark humour that serve more to push the mundane psychopathy of the characters than to actually provide belly laughs. The lack of judgement is refreshing and makes for a unique take on a tried-and-tested story, too. Overall, though, it's a pretty dull, joyless experience. 5/10

sol- Two middle aged British tourists discover a mutual passion for murder after accidentally running over a fellow sightseer with their caravan in this black comedy filmed on location in the (ironically) beautiful English countryside. Alice Lowe and Steve Oram (who wrote the script together) are excellent are the murderous couple in question and the film takes some sharp stabs at British pretension with the couple saying things such as "he's not a person; he's a Daily Mail reader" after disposing of those who annoy them in various ways. Although refreshingly offbeat, the film is actually seldom hilarious with the murders often telegraphed far in advance rather than spontaneous since we are aware that the couple are inclined towards killing. Something like 'Tucker and Dale vs Evil' is far funnier since none of the deaths are deliberate and is often hard to predict how the next person will perish. Length is perhaps the biggest issue here though; given the slimness of the premise, the novelty wears thin a little quickly. That said, the film succeeds in adding lot of interesting quirks, from a perky dog who they 'adopt' along the way to the couple's kinky copulation style. The final scene is also unforgettable in the best possible way; a rather fitting conclusion for a movie about two lovers who keep reevaluating each other's unstoppable bloodlust as their murders increasingly mount.

grantss Great movie, and surprisingly so. I went in with an open mind but the first few scenes were very depressing and dull (so much so I thought I was watching a French movie), and the characters fairly loathsome. However, from a point the movie suddenly kicks into life and becomes very gritty and dark, yet with humorous (dark humour, of course) moments.What follows is a roller-coaster ride. The previously-benign lead characters suddenly become very dangerous and unpredictable, leading to great, knife-edge tension. A great study in how unpredictable people can be, and how circumstances and events can change them, or, at least, reveal their true selves.Good performances from Steve Oram and Alice Lowe, who also wrote the script.

rolee-1 I watched this film because I had seen Alice Lowe in "Snuff Box" (more black comedy) and I was curious about her accent. So I didn't know what to expect. If you've read many comments, you'll know—lots of psychopathic violence.I may be wrong. Ben Wheatley may have just woken up and thought, "Wouldn't it be funny to have a mentally off-balance couple on vacation?" I assume that it's more than that, but the British like their comedy black.Here's my take. It seemed to me more about questions than statements:What role did Tina's mother play in the creation of a monster? Why did her mother dislike the boyfriend? Was she just being selfish or petty,or did she really see something evil in him? Would he have turned out the same way if not for the first accident? What is it that makes couples move toward each other—thinking alike, doing alike, trying to please the other—when the things they think or do are often so destructive? Is the movie saying something about a society that, while often rude, is civil and trusting enough that people put themselves in the path of murder without even being the least bit suspicious? What is going through the characters' heads as they commit each act? How many Chris's are there in society just waiting to pop? I think there is one statement that the movie is making: You don't have to like or sympathize with the main characters just because they're the main characters. Not every story has to have a hero. Just because you can't identify with or like the main characters doesn't make it a bad movie.I gave it 8 out of 10, not because I'm recommending it for everyone--far from it--but because I thought it was interesting in a way that so many movies are not.
