Bad City Blue

Saw this on Monday with reservations but really liked it.

At first I thought I might be bored but when it gets going it's a damned good, smart movie that adapts the game seriously well.

My biggest problem is that it's a 12A. It's brutally violent (including people being burned at the stake), very adult in theme (as in reasonably complex) and half of it is in Spanish with subtitles.

There were some younger kids at the screening, likely because it's based on a video game, and many were visibly and noisily bored. At the end one went "Thank God" loudly. Reminded me of when my parents took me to see the Pink Panther films as a kid when I was too young to appreciate them.

It's had some shite write ups, but as a fan of the game and of intelligent films I recommend it.

I was really hoping this would be good as I thought there was plenty of scope in the premise.
The terrible reviews have really put me off but I may still give it a go.

To be fair, they probably weren't expecting the Spanish Inquisition.  ;)
