Lilja 4-Ever

How disturbing.
Lukas Moodyson's third feature that came out in 2002 is depressing all the way through but oh so effective. Still 12 hours after seeing it I just can't get it out of my mind.
The same can not be said for Michael Mann's Collateral. Ok - Tom Cruise is extremely convincing as a hit-man and Jamie Foxx is definately good as the cab driver and yes, there is some above average dialogue there -- but really, at the end of the day this is just a movie about a hit-man working to take out his targets. Come-on Tom Cruise, if you have all the money in the world, all the power in the world and the ability to choose from any single project possible -- This is what you choose ??? Is this all you have to say, is this all you want to use your power to say?

More Moodyson - More Joshua Marston. (dir. Maria Full of Grace)
