deaden be a difficult movie to talk about . i do not have any doubt of my feeling about the picture but it can be an uncomfortable experience to watch for those who do not know about what viel and fallon be talk . i be lucky enough to saw this film at it european premiere in sitges film festival . i remark that i saw this film at sitges because 5 year ago i saw there kim ki duk address unknown . after that screen i call a friend and tell him that the korean master have make a manifest about human cruelty and after see deaden i think that christian viel ( the director ) and john fallon ( the screenwriter and actor and producer ) have make a manifest about human rage . the story line be classic and a vengeance movie about the payback that an ex cover policeman and that become a drug dealer because of his job and take against the punk that rape his wife ( with a baseball bat in full detail . ) and murder his ¡unborn son . ( in extreme full detail . ) . yeah and i know that it sound crazy . but think for a moment . if you do not know who the people that make that movie be and someone tell you that this be the plot line of the new takashi miike film and all of u would be die to see this picture . so and what i be try to say be that you must see the film without any prejudice . the picture take u to an unpleasant and nihilistic downward spiral to the last day ( almost hour ) of a human soul . the history of a man betray by a system in which he believe in and first and by become what he hate most and after that by be abandon by them after the brutal murder that i talk before . the movie be sad while yes and it have some macabre gag and but the face of fallon in the fine montage at the beginning be what mark the tone of the movie . his facial expression be what youre remember during the picture and because ( and that be very intelligent way of use the expectation of the public by the filmmaker ) we have see lot of vigilante film ( spoiler . ) and we know what he will do after the revenge be complete and why he will do that . ( end of spoiler ) the movie perfectly reflect the anger and the rage that invade you after youre assault or your girlfriend be rap or simply when youre humiliate by your bos or betray by someone you love . a violent impulse that drive you to your limit and to the dark side of your soul where you reject everything that you believe in and that what the movie be about and that what happen to the main character . but to understand that you must see the movie with your mind open and ready to be punch . because you will be punch and but with style while i hate to comment film talk about other film and but think that the style of the movie be like pi in vivid color and without any budget and on steroid . you will see a very inventive way to film a guy sniff cocaine ( there also a very funny recur way that pay tribute to scarface ) and you will also see that every killing of this movie be different from each other and most of the them be commit with very unusual weapon ( the movie feature a new way to play pool that ruggero deodato will enjoy a lot ) . because and of course and deaden be a serious movie but also a non stop fast paced action picture ( filmmaker and editor and take notice of the rhythm ) that pay tribute to the 80 and 70 action film while you will appreciate reference to dirty harry and death wish and chuck norris and arnold schwarzenegger and dolph lundgren and rocky and all sly stallone film and requiem for a dream ( do not be surprise by that and deaden tell a story ) . and please remember what i tell you before while do not have any prejudice when youre see that movie . remember that be an old school action movie with a lot of social comment much more in the line of class of 84 ( a film that almost only roger ebert defend in it premiere ) than a cannon film ( that be great in their own way ) . and to you upcoming filmmaker and actor you must support viel and fallon movie because it be make with little money but with lot of love . a film make by fan for fan . i hope that their next feature will be at the same category of that one and because deaden cult have just bear .
