When Matt (director Matt Johnson) and Owen (Owen Williams) get in trouble for making a violent film for a class project, Matt starts joking about planning a school shooting. It takes some real balls to do a satire about high school violence, and I think The Dirties has something to say in a daring way.
There are enough crazy twists to keep the plot interesting between action scenes too, but perhaps too many in a middle section that drags on with exposition. Simpson had gotten away with writing his If I Did It book. The plot about the statute of limitations seems to me like a revenge fantasy if O.J. Imagine doing The Matrix Reloaded freeway chase on real cars without green screen! The camera and editing is unfortunately a little choppy so it doesn’t highlight the practical work as much as you’d like, and it is unfortunate they felt the need to throw in some CGI gags because the real stunts were thrilling enough. Assuming the Fantastic Fest program book is correct that these were all filmed as real stunt sequences, that is some daring and creative work. Two particularly memorable action sequences involve a car chase with an ambulance with people fighting on the moving cars, and another car chase with a truck in a tunnel. When the killer/author becomes famous, the cop who was pursuing him and some victims’ family members all try to come after the killer.
#Moebius empire rising cheats serial
A serial killer waits until the statute of limitation on his crimes expires to write a tell all memoir. Confession of Murder has some impressive action scenes, and a dramatic plot crazy enough to work, though it maybe drags on a bit and relies a little too much on CGI.
