Rant No.3
Saw
OK, another rant, have'nt had one in a while.
I remember seeing this after hearing a lot about it. it was one of the new wave of ultra real, ultra shocking thrillers that seemed to be appearing.
I sat down, put the DVD on, and expected something along the lines of Seven, but maybe a bit gorier.
So, what's to complain about?
Well, it just struck me as absurd that the 2 seasoned detectives on the trail of Americas most wanted serial killer, after tracking him down to his apartment do...well, guess which of the following:
A: Call for back up, preferably a SWAT team covering all angles of the building etc.
B: Radio in and say they've located the perp and are awaiting instructions.
C: Do none of the above but decide to go it alone and try and bag the bad guy.
No prizes as to which it is.
OK, so they're in the apartment, it's heavily booby trapped but they have the guy at gunpoint.
Remember, he's Americas most dangerous killer. Would you:
A: Shoot him in the leg just for starters....well, might not be to ethical...so how about...
B: Make him get down on the floor, hands behind his head to put the cuffs on or...
C: Just walk up to him and get your throat cut
Well, so one of the detectives is down, but hey, these are seasoned detectives, they spend hours on the shooting range honing their skills....but unfortunatley, when it does come to shoot they could'nt hit a barn 12' away!
Which is a shame, because remember the Doc stuck in that room with the photographer? Well, apparently, with beginners luck you can shoot with surgical precision between arteries and bones...yes, I kid you not.
Almost at the end of this rant....but what about the killer lying on the floor....I mean, come on...really?
