Keoma



This movie is pretty good. Here is my brief review...

Pro: Well directed, good action, beautifully photographed, good acting, and a very decent plot.

Cons: Some of the music. The main theme is dreadful. A woman wails like she is in pain and you can't understand what she is saying anyway. Then it is made even more dreadful when a male voice, performed by someone who CANNOT sing, comes in and basically sings what Keoma is thinking at the moment. Worst part? When they sing at the same time.

Conclusion: This is a must see SW! When it was over I felt like I had just seen a very good action movie. It's a little bleak. In fact it is VERY bleak. But hey, it can't all be peaches and cream. 3 1/2 out of 5 stars.

Too many flashbacks. They come without warning and can be confusing at time. The lady singing in the movie in about the worst I've heard. Ouch!

Call me silly, but I want a CD of the soundtrack. It reminds me how good some talent is.
