| 08.01.05 | Netflix | It's no secret that I saw this movie just because I'm thinking about buying the poster for it. Coming in at a whopping 64 minutes long, I hesitate to even call this a movie... but it is so I am. It's not nearly as supernatural as I would've liked. Three army dudes get caught in Burma during WWII and the first two each get a hand chopped for not talking. Of course the officer talks and now, in "london to-day" the handless are looking for the officer to take "a hand for a hand." in the end the officer gets shot and runs and conveniently passes out with his hand on a train track. duh. Toward the beginning I was kind of liking the cheesiness of their Burma set, wondering what the story behind this little British film was and how it's barely survived to make it onto DVD... but as it went on it got slower and slower with so all the eloquent Brit dialogue and whatnot, by the end i was just waiting for it to end. So this raises a question... now I've seen the film but I don't really love it so... should I get the poster? It is a pretty sweet poster... |
