The Coli Movie Club: Big Bad Wolves

[Higher Tech]

A series of brutal murders puts the lives of three men on a collision course: The father of the latest victim now out for revenge, a vigilante police detective operating outside the boundaries of law, and the main suspect in the killings - a religious studies teacher arrested and released due to a police blunder.

You can find this on Netflix. If anyone has a stream or download link, I will put it in this post.

I'm firing this movie up as I'm typing this. It's an Israeli film, so it's subtitled (which shouldn't be a problem). I hope the majority of the board hasn't seen it yet, and I hope it's a good pick. It's been recommended several times by people who's movie opinions I trust. I will have a review by the morning.

Enjoy.

@hexagram23 @cook Can I get a sticky and can you tag the club? I doubt my tags will work.

Quentin Tarantino declared this movie to be the best film of 2013.

Is that a good thing or bad thing?

That is why I added the Stephen A smilie...leave that tidbit up for interpretation.

Dope choice. Good movie. Chilling ending.

8/10

Didn't like it, thought the movie never really could decide whether it wanted to be dark comedy or intense thriller, and it sure as hell never found a balance between the two either. It has some inspired scenes in it though and the acting is very good. I'd say it's an interesting failure.

That was worth a watch, some good stuff in there. The comedy wasn't bad in and of itself but it often damaged whatever tension the film was generating.

Spoiler

It wouldn't have been much trouble for the writers to show why exactly the teacher was under suspicion in the first place, not knowing that was pretty distracting throughout. The torture was used well here, at first I thought it was going to go the way of Hostel with that tool kit but they reeled it back, the bits with the blowtorch and the nail pulling made my toes curl. Also, it looked great and the ending was a nice and low key

3 stars

Ok, so I FINALLY finished watching it.

Spoiler: The Movie

I liked it. It was a mix between Se7en, Prisoners, and Burn After Reading. The comedy wasn't overbearing, but I can see how it broke the evil tension like @SlowPaceThrillah said. It also bugged the shyt out of me that they never showed any reason to have him under suspicion. They went at him so hard that I figured they would have shown that. The whole movie I just wanted to see some kind of circumstantial evidence that could have shown why they thought it was him. I was surprised as hell when the cop talked to his wife and the kid was missing, that was interesting little twist. The movie was good overall, but there was something missing to me, maybe it was the lack of closure after doing all that torturing. Kinda thought the timing was too cliche when the grandfather popped up right when the son was cutting the throat, but I'm just splitting hairs with that.

All in all, I really enjoyed it, and would recommend it to friends.
7/10

Just finished this shyt and thought it was a pretty decent flick. I feel like when you decide to make flicks on this dark ass subject matter that you should go all in on it. The "comedy" or lightheartedness is probably used to alleviate some of the darkness involved but at the end of the day it's still a flick on an alleged child rapist/murderer so the comedy is a bit pointless and kind of distracting.

Wish there was a bit more clarity early in the flick about dude being a alleged serial rapist/murderer, for awhile I thought he only had one body on him. Wasn't until the pops of old girl recited that story that we found out dudes been doing this shyt for a minute. Also would of been nice to get more of a peek into the killer side of dude, we only got to see it by his defiance at the end when he refused to write shyt down. The ending was pretty good though would of like to see a bit of resolution for Gidi.

Prolly give it a 6.5. The comedy was both a distraction for the viewer and a actual distraction to the plot if that makes sense

Woa woa woa, hold up

Spoiler

The teacher was the actual killer? I thought it couldn't have been him since the cop got his kid abducted while the killer was still at the hut. I thought it was the other cop in the last shot in the teacher's house with the dead ballerina, especially since he'd been walking around the house then told his boss there was nothing there...

Spoiler

I could be wrong but at the end the other cop said we found nothing(I'm assuming they were at the teachers home). Plus you got to remember homeboy never mentioned his daughter and the teacher bought up him having a daughter. shyt probably clicked and that's why he went back in the house after hearing his daughter was missing. Add to the fact that the teacher looked pretty defiant before succumbing to his injuries refusing to tell dude where his kid is.

Yo I might have to re-watch the last 30 mins in light of this

Spoiler: Whoaaaa

nah, remember the teacher was at the ballet class when he was saying he wanted to see his daughter because its her birthday. Then he gave her the cake. We found out later it was the cops daughter, not his own. Then the other cop couldnt figure out the secret behind the wall.

Thanks for clearing that up
