elodie-r What a poetic massacre drama! I love the absurd pitch - it is crazy. Love the girls motivated by getting a dress and the assassin crying behind the trash after an intimidating encounter. It's like a Japanese manga. This is so much fresher than a Tarantino, I like better this genre ! Tarantino takes himself way too seriously ! I regret though that the girls seem to not be enough professional, and that there was not more action. I really missed the action ! But the poetic sweet mood is very innovating, I'd like more of this please. Loved this line "What's with the cookies?! Wait, what if it's only the tip of the iceberg? What if he also makes brownies ???" Excellent !
bowmanblue 'Violet and Daisy' tells the story of a pair of teenage assassins who get more than they bargained for on their latest job, namely someone who actually WANTS to be assassinated.Now, the first question you may ask if you hear that is WHY does the 'mark' want to be 'offed' by a pair of gin-totting adolescents. And it's a good question. However, despite the two girls staying with their man for most of the film, they don't seem to get round to asking him. Then, when you do finally find out (about three quarters of the way through the film) there isn't really anywhere else left to go.It starts off well enough. I found the opening kind of similar to Guy Ritchie's 'Snatch' as the two girls disguise themselves and chat happily on their way to their first 'job' of the day. However, despite all the nice talk, the dialogue isn't ever quite as snappy as a Guy Ritchie or Tarrantino film.All the performances are good and James Gandolfini deserves a special mention, as he does his character with a lot of pathos, helped no small part by the fact that, in the film, he wants to die and, not long after, he sadly got his wish in real life.Whereas the film could have explained, or possibly delved into how using teenagers (who are still just about young enough to be considered – sort of – innocent), it never really touches on the subject, choosing to string the story out as to why James Gandolfini wants to die for as long as possible.It's not a bad film, but it could have either done with being cut down by about half to make it tighter, or taken in a more focused direction.In the end it ends up as a sort of half-hearted homage to a Guy Ritchie/Tarrantino film that never really lives up to its potential.http://thewrongtreemoviereviews.blogspot.co.uk/
phd_travel This is a delightful black comedy with some action about 2 sweet young female assassins for hire. Saoirse Ronan looks really sweet and lovely here. Alexis Bledel convincingly plays a young woman even though she much older than Ms Ronan. James Gandolfini in one of his last roles is quite touching and endearing as their target.There are some laugh out loud originally funny moments and dialog in the vein of Luc Besson and Quentin Tarantino but still unique in it's own way.There are some slower moments but on the whole you care for the characters so it keeps you interested till the end.
eira_muntzing 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.
