Godzilla 2000 was not a great movie to start with, but the localization was truly ham fisted. THE END???
With the exception of Cherry and Death Race, every movie with "2000" in the title is a piece of shit.
Blues Brothers
Dracula
Fantasia
Godzilla
Heavy Metal
Knight Rider
uh...Emmanuelle
Dragged Across Concrete. It’s a noir, crime tragedy, however the hero lives.
It has two political messages one) society should empathize with cops, pay them better, etc. This message is ham fisted and distracting. There’s also a general socialist message as we see wage slaves working when they’d rather not, everyone trying to support their families. two) cops should empathize with criminals Ridgeman dies because he refuses to trust the criminal he partners up with. This message is told better through action and not dialogue.
The dialogue is mostly shit. Just unnatural and uninteresting. And at 2 hrs 40 mins, it hurts.
The editing is shit. Scenes and shots stay for unnatural intervals without rhythm.
What the movie does right, though, is it’s shot very well - deep colors & contrast and great angles. The story, if you get past the dialogue, is terrific. It’s brutal and unexpecting. The criminal turns out to be the protagonist and one with the moral high ground, with a sole motivation to provide a better life for his family and the family of the cop he kills.
I hate that it was poorly made, because it is a great story.

This looks awesome.
Going back to the dark and dreary world... i dig it but they will never do a fragmented story approach with an unreliable narrator/Joker.
I'm stoked. I want to see Joker take control and start living his best life.
