YesAsia Editorial Description
In the spirit of LOCK, STOCK, & TWO SMOKING BARRELS comes this comedy heist film detailing the efforts of Ben (Sean William Scott) to pay off a debt that his late brother owes Gregory, a local crime boss (Lou Diamond Phillips). In order to pay off the debt, he and his knuckleheaded friends decide to stage a rave next to a bank vault containing a priceless statue. Once the noise from the makeshift club is underway, they will cut through the wall, obtain the statue, and use it to pay Gregory off. Unfortunately, a wealth of obstacles--ranging from club owners, FBI agents, and randy underage girls--stand in the way of their goal.

Stark Raving mad is a great little surprise!
|
Stark Raving Mad is the best movie I've seen so far in 2004, and that's saying a lot. I rented this one last night because nothing else looked good. I hadn't heard of this Seann william Scott Film, nor of the directors Daywalt and Schneider, but I had heard of the producers -- who were the guys who not only did Pulp Fiction, but also the folks that brought us Memento, so I decided to give it a try. Well I'm not sure what happened to this film after it was made, but it was certainly not intended for direct to DVD. Let me just say that it was a FANTASTIC film. The screenplay was strong, the main character was a new kind of strong jawed hero for Seann Scott to be playing, ( and he did it quite successfully, I might add), the characters were hysterical when they needed to be, and dangerous when they needed to be. The editing was MTV style, but not in your face or over the top like in LOCK STOCK, SNATCH or CONFIDENCE - this was more justified and stylized - more like FIGHTCLUB I guess, than any other film. the cinematography was awesome, and when I listened to the commentary track with the two directors and Seann Scott, they mentioned that the whole film was done in 21 days. Kudos to them, because this little underdog of a film is an awesome find, and a testament to the fact that just because a film doesn't have powerhouse marketing behind it, does not mean it's not a great little film. I've seen a few other reviews unfavorably comparing it to PULP FICTION and SNATCH and while it doesn't hold up to PF, how could it? Pulp fiction was one of the greatest films of the 20th century. And it's far better than SNATCH, which had only it's editing to hold it up and no really challenging or interesting characters. SRM is the directors' first film and it's darn good on it's own merits. Do yourself a favor and rent this one. It's a joy and a nice surprise. FOUR OUT OF FIVE STARS overall and FIVE OUT OF FIVE STARS for a direct to DVD. This film really delivers. Also recommended: fight club lock stock and two smoking barrels pulp fiction |

Stark Raving mad is a super cool film
|
First of all, Seann Scott FINALLY proves he can act. So much so that we might be able to forgive him for Bulletproof Monk. AND - he finally breaks out of that Stifler mold, probably because he finally had a good script to work with. The producers and writers nailed this one. And speaking of producers -- this independent is brought to us by the guys who did Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill, as well as Memento and Donnie Darko -- And Stark Raving Mad certainly lives up to it's predecessors. The film is neckjarringly fast and funny, and first time writer/directors David Schneider and Drew Daywalt make an unmistakably strong first impression of style and humor. The drawback to this film is that sometimes it is not sure if it wants to be a comedy or an action film, but that is also part of what makes it refreshing. It doesn't jam down your throat how you are supposed to feel as so many films do. The film's strong points are definitely its intense sense of direction and pacing, and outstanding performances, especially by Scott and newcomer Timm Sharp, whose Lenny and George-esque relationship really carries the film.The irony is not lost on the intelligent viewer that the robbery goes a lost smoother than the bank robbery that it is set up to cover. There's an insane DJ, ex-girlfriends, horny raver girls, undercover feds, drug dealers, Chinese gangsters. And as a bank robber, Seann's character is not qualified to deal with these petty, ordinary problems. Scott and Sharp do a convincing job playing compadres and the jeopardy they are in is at times, terrifying ( note the knife to the eyeball scene with the Chinese Gangsters). The pace and the comedy are nonstop, and it feels kind of like an American version of Snatch, but much funnier and with better characters. Along with a strong sense of visual intensity, the soundtrack is relentless and chunky, scored entirely by DJ John Digweed and Nick Muir. It really gives you the feel of being in a rave. Not since Human Traffic has there been such a successfully cool mix of film and dance music. This is a must rent and I give it four stars out of five. Peace. |
