 | MOVIE #1,842 • 🍿🍿🍿🍿 • 07.23.24 When you think Black Friday, you surely think of the 1993 terrorist attacks in Bombay, India and not SHOPPING! and CAPITALISM! Surely. Well, this paint-by-numbers procedural biopic on that event will walk you through if you weren’t familiar. My first and main takeaway is a point I’ve belabored time and time again: it is amazing films from all over the world had these color filters in the mid 00s. This is one of the worst examples of the trend I've ever seen, actually. Black Friday looks terrible: think TV reenactment with the saturation turned to 1000%. Also, there are simply too many characters in this. Every other line seemingly addresses a new person's name. And the action is not engaging enough for me to WANT to keep up. I bailed. |
