I have to admit, the title drew me to this film. I'm not going to explain the joke but, if you've heard it you would probably be drawn to this film as well.
Donkey Punch follows three English girls bar-hopping in Spain. They then meet up with some English guys that take them to their yacht. After a crazy sex-act goes wrong, the horror game begins.
With a disaster plot, a no-name cast, and a no-name director, you would think this film would blow. It's actually semi decent. The acting is mediocre at best, but the way the film flows actually made it pretty interesting. It's not going to win any awards, but if you're looking for an intense movie, Donkey Punch might not actually be a bad choice. My biggest problem with this film was understanding the actors. Normally, I have a very easy time understanding the English accent (especially in films), but this film was almost impossible. I had the volume up very high and could still barely understanding what they were saying.
Bottom line, give Donkey Punch a shot and you might enjoy it (the movie, not the sex-act).
The highly anticipated film from Michael Mann about notorious bank robber, John Dillinger, is sure to not disappoint. Going into this film, I had read my fair share of criticism's, but Public Enemies is highly entertaining and will hold your attention throughout the 2 1/2 hour run-time.
The stand-out portion's of this film come in the shootout's. While there seems to be one every five or so minutes, each one is captivating in it's own way. However, the best shootout of the film comes when Dillinger and his men escape to one of their hideout's in the woods. Shot with HD hand-held camera's, Mann gives us a sense of how brutally intense these shootout's must have been.
I would be a piss-poor reviewer if I did not mention the acting. While Bale and Cotillard provide a solid supporting cast, Depp shines in one of his best performances ever. Depp makes you believe that in a past life, he really was John Dillinger.
Public Enemies is a great film, and with the Academy Awards making the Best Picture category 10 films deep, you can be sure you'll see it on the list come Oscar time.
