I had seen "Love, Honour & Obey" some years ago and remembered it as not that bad. It wasn't as original as "Trainspotting", as funny as it wanted to be and the gory scenes seemed a little too much just wanna be provocative, because it might look great on screen. But it was OK to watch.
THIS FILM was not a little bit of of any of it. The poor quality was alright for the camera, because it belonged to the story - but unfortunately I could not find one character that could have awakened my interest. I watched a lot of stupid blokes doing stupid things and I don't belong to the people, who get off on watching women either being beaten by their boyfriends or portrayed as whores, who in the end get what they deserve. Oh - and Jude Law was so convincing that I was happy, when he eventually got killed. Actually the killing scene was not that bad.
So far: matter of taste.
The story was told in a confusing way, but you could get used to that. And why put so many characters on a film, if you then don't know what to do with them? But maybe they thought it wouldn't be necessary to develop characters because of all the cool violent scenes - why bother with a decent script?
