Posted: 1/28/2009A review of Funny Games by eneman23
this film had me thouroughly engrossed and on the edge of my seat--right up until Peter (Michael Pitt) looks into the camera and addresses the audience. i had to sit back and ask myself,' what just happened here?'. it happens 2 more times in the movie, the final time so stupid that it ruined the movie for me. i got the message that was being sent about violence in movies but for a movie to tell us that 'its only a movie' kills the whole point of watching it in the first place. we watch movies to displace ourselves for 2 hours and live in the film so to speak. the harsh reality of this film comes to an abrupt halt and made the rest of it uninteresting. too bad because it had the makings of a cult classic a la 'last house on the left'. i never caught my breath in that one. unfortunately the director breathes for us in this one.
