One Cut of the Dead

"Action!!!"

ⓘ

A self-aware, silly film with a highly technical gimmick which it boldly transcends, revealing an immensely delightful and charming core underneath. It is a single-watch movie, but that single watch is a must. I was shocked to learn afterwards that the film was made with only $25k and an unknown cast, going on to gross a much-deserved $30mil.

Technically, the first portion disengaged me a couple times, which would push this down to an A, however those very moments are explained and made very intentional later on, absolving it. The S is earned.
