Jean,
This is called a dark comedy but I did not see the comedy part. There
was practically no laughter in my theater during this film. I think all
the amusing scenes were gathered up and put in the preview. This is a
dark and gross and gruesome crime movie based on actual crime records.
Take for example the repeated running over of the hostage victim with a
van. Or consider the dismemberment of two bodies with a chain saw and
then cooking the body parts on a Weber Grill. The story gets so stupid
and grotesque that Michael Bay reminds you half through the movie with
subtitles that this is still a true story. Based on the crime records of
the Dade County, Florida 1995-96. It is almost as if Michael Bay is
taking great pains to depict all the gruesome and grisly details for
you. Even the Tony Shalhoub character does not have a hint of humor
playing the very distasteful hostage victim. At the end, they show you
the main criminal movie characters in mug shot fashion and then the
actual criminals in their mug shots.
The Previews were:
World War Z
Kings of Summer
The Bling Ring
The Hangover III
This is the End
Star Trek, Into Darkness
