A fun movie to watch!
quillshadow20 December 2010
If you like diabolical, ironic, and irreverent you will enjoy the Devil's 6 Commandments. I found this movie to be stylishly filmed, an underworld caper slash revenge flick that reminded me of Snatch and Pulp Fiction. The script was inventive, dark, and witty - with 'commandments' like "Thou shalt lay the ultimate vengeance upon thy enemies" and "Thou shalt not kill the wrong victim". The training scenes with the lead actress, skilled in the martial art, Hapkido, were great to watch, and the action complete with impressive guns and shiny knife blades. It is refreshing and exciting to see an Australian film in this genre and also what high quality entertainment can be achieved on a low budget. I really hope we get to see lots more from this scriptwriter/director.

I'VE COME HERE TO GLOAT

Warning: Spoilers
Nina (Gianna Pattison) is raped and he clothes are neatly put back on her. She is a martial arts student and goes "spit on you grave" against her attackers with some assistance and a need to gloat about her crimes to a priest. The film pretends to be a grindhouse, but lacks the characters, blood, violence, and sound track. Each of 6 different episodes is introduced by one of the "Devil's commandments", clearly made up for the script. There is a 1 year, 15 year, and 10 year flashback.

The film is that of assassins who kill people because "God takes too long to make things right."

Another tough one to sit through.

Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity. Off screen rape.

Bang-up enjoyable Aussie crime opus

Warning: Spoilers
Tough and resourceful rape victim Nina (fiercely played with gutsy élan by the ravishing Gianna Pattison) joins forces with her crazy step mother Ares (a genuinely scary, yet still somehow oddly likable portrayal by Felino Dolloso) to get revenge on the thugs responsible. They are assisted by brash rogue cop Trevor Moretti (an excellent performance by Maninho de Aruanda). Writer/director Dicky Tanuwidjaya brings a hip, breezy, and exciting ultra-kinetic sensibility to the entertaining premise: The quick pace never sputters for a minute, there's an interesting array of quirky and colorful characters, the action set pieces are staged with rip-roaring aplomb, the narrative jumps around in time in an engaging elliptical manner, and the wickedly funny sense of dark irreverent humor gives the whole thing an extra nifty kick. The fine acting by the able casts keeps the movie buzzing, with especially stand-out work by Robin Queree as supportive reformed priest Father Ramone, Robert Luxford as evil millionaire Albert Pike, Rob Sheens as browbeating gay police chief Captain Jerry Thorn, Nathan Bowen as pushy sleazeball Vincent The Poison, Lucinda Booth as compassionate physician Debbie, and Rico Banderas as creepy restaurant owner Morgan The Morgue. Daniel Dahlman's snazzy cinematography provides a cool stylish look. Gnarly rocking soundtrack, too. A total blast.
