there be nothing funny about funny game and or at least it wasn not for what i saw . the movie be market a an important social commentary about violence in cinema and but i leave the movie without any new information . instead the movie be a gratuitous torture porn flick that be constantly relentless . the word relentless be usually associate with movie when give a positive review . do not confuse my choice of word a a recommendation of any kind . relentless it be . stupid and pointless it be also . the plot be obvious and almost arbitrary . a moderately new family be brutally torture by two psychotic individual . they wager a bet with the captive . the bet represent the twisted mind believe they can kill this family before a certain time and while the family believe in survival . of course and such bet could end with three gunshot at point blank range and but that would be too easy . literally the large chunk of the movie involve the family be torture with random object . a see by advertisement and golf club be use frequently . naomi watts star and produce this film . why would she attach herself to such a project . because while some people will criticize the film for be without any redeem merit and others will praise the originality and the daring aspect involve in create something so deep and meaningful . i should probably say at this time that this film in question be a shot for shot remake of an 11 year old austrian version direct by the same individual . so much for originality . so why remake something so soon . because a we all know and american can not enjoy a movie unless it be make domestically . maybe we should make a commentary about that problem . there be currently a debate about art versus entertainment . it be be suggest that even though the film contain hardly ( if any ) entertainment value and it should be accept because of it artistic quality . call me naive and but i feel that art and entertainment should be mixed . and while some film snob will suggest that the film be complicate and need a high intellect to enjoy and i say that it be too simplistic and predictable . within the first ten minute i be very aware of what be to follow . i know how the end be go to turn out . the only thing i do not realize be the amount of manipulation that be to be use . at one point a remote control be use to rewind the action that just happen while the audience be scold for root on the heroine in a violent act that they would have boo for if the villain be the one with an upperhand . the scene be then play out in a now grim way and lead to an end that be so original . the sad thing about all of this horrible movie be that it be be market like a fresh horror satire . scream be a very good horror satire that accomplish what it set out to do and which be to show the audience how horror film be clichéd and violent and unoriginal without actually produce a clichéd and unoriginal horror film . without such false advertising and i can not see why anybody would want to watch funny game . it promise an explanation for the current audience fascination of torture porn and but yet resolve to become an exhausting and manipulative torture porn story . the psychopath ( play by michael pitt and brady corbet ) constantly break the fourth wall in which they want to know what the audience be think . they assume that the audience be root for anne and george and little georgie . i do not . forgive me for not care for one of the dumb family capture on film . forgive me for want to walk out of this inspired 100 minute rant about violence in cinema . forgive me for hat funny game . forgive me for advise that you avoid this movie like a plague . rating represent zero star out of .
