Good & Different, 7 May 2009

As the last reviewer said, this is not your average Hollywood show. It's a cold, calculated look at the life of a contract killer. There's not much emotion - after all, killers need no emotion - and this comes through in the film. It's a simple tale, told simply with unknown but good actors. One reviewer said we are not introduced to the characters. Well, for the first twenty minutes we basically have a monologue of the main character describing her life, her loves and all the important characters in the film. What more do you need??? Apparently it's based on real life and that's what you get here - no Hollywood soundtracks to add to the ambiance. Perhaps the only criticism I have is that the main character is so devoid of feeling that it's hard to believe she loves her child. Perhaps that could be explored a little more. But something different to watch. Give it a try -- you might be pleasantly surprised.
