Surprisingly incoherent and boring

hyped garbage

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

As Good As It Gets

Violet (Alexis Bledel) and Daisy (Saoirse Ronan) are a pair of gum chewing teenage hit women dressed as nuns who casually kill bad guys in New York. They take on a new hit to snuff out a mystery man (James Gandolfini) who crossed some villains and seems rather serene to his fate.This encounter to a man who casually awaits his death gives both young women a period of reflection. They are both overgrown girls and also emotionally retarded. They ride to hits on tricycles, jump on beds excitedly to the pop sounds of the latest teen idol and are deadly with a gun. The film does not progress much more than that and gives little depth to their characters and motivations. Rather disappointing as the writer/director wrote the Oscar winning screenplay to Precious.The film is a sub Quentin Tarantino rip off and an out of date one by 15 years. We see scenes of hits replayed from various angles and slow motion. We see people acting wacky giving us wisecracks and talking cute but it never amounts to much. Its just a boring and bad film instead of being hip and cool.Its a shame as James Gandolfini and Marianne Jean-Baptiste do their best to lift this botched film.

this movie has almost it all. it includes friendship, money problem AND killing.. it's not a lame romantic movie, it makes you think and it is beautiful done! you should give it a try. I mean it's about two teenage girls who are not sure what to do with life and they are just trying to get enough money so they can buy some dresses, but when they think that all they have to do is kill someone they're wrong because it's so much more than that... they're about to learn such a big part in life and accepting how things are, try to make the most of the situation. this might not be a movie you'll re-watch but it's really enjoyable and very beautiful done. it's a movie which will leave you not empty, but not full it will leave you thinking.

Violet and Daisy are contract killers. In the opening sequence they murder 6 people while dressed as nuns. Soon thereafter, Daisy turns 18, so she can get charged as an adult. Violet is a bit older, but probably not by much. They turn down a new job. Then they see some dresses that they want to buy. They take the job to get money to buy dresses.The second job is to kill one guy who stole some money from someone higher in their organisation. Their target shows up late, after they take a nap. They try shooting him with their eyes closed. He's in the kitchen making oatmeal cookies for them. Oh, my. He is dying anyway, and hopes they go ahead with their job.There is a lot of talk among Violet, Daisy, and their target. This is coupled with a number of odd incidents (like the shootout at the hardware store) that are interspersed with the ongoing conversation.Iris drops by to nudge the girls forward.Will the girls finally finish the job, stay out of jail, and go on with their shallow lives? -----Scores-----Cinematography: 10/10 Beautifully shot!Sound: 10/10 Amazingly good.Acting: 7/10 Alexis Bledel was 30 when this film came out. She's best friends with a girl who just turned 18? Oi. I like Gandalfini, Trejo, Bledel, and Jean-Baptiste even more than I did before seeing this film. I'm sure they did what the auteur asked of them, and they certainly did it well. Ronan, on the other hand, is an actor I can count on to deliver a disappointing performance.Screenplay: 5/10 Patty-cake? Really? Absurd and surreal set the stage. There was not enough story to fill the 88 minutes. The theoretical side of me saw that many of the lines were meant to be humorous, but I did not find myself laughing or even smiling.

Too Cute by Two, this is Another in the Girls with Guns Subgenre that can be Entertaining like Hana (2011) and Kick-Ass (2010). It also Borrows Heavily from that Tarantino Sensibility of Colorful Excess and Slightly Removed Ambiance. But there is Little Wit here that makes these Things Joyful Jaunts into Comic-Book Land.The Movie Looks Good and the Actors All seem to be On but the Story is so Weak and the Dialog so Trite and the Side Characters and Stories are so Uninteresting that the Film comes off as an Idea not Realised and a Script from the Reject Pile that was Dusted Off but Never Polished.In the End it is Attractive Visually but is not At All as much Fun as it Thinks it is and that is definitive Pretentiousness. The Lollipop Licking and the Bubble-Gum Blowing are more Cringe than Creative and more Obvious than Clever. It is a Misfire that Overall, it really doesn't Matter because the Film is Shooting Blanks.
