NEGATIVE SPACE

Screen International-Kritiker David D'Arcy über den neuen Michael Winterbottom-Film "The Killer Inside Me", der heute in Sundance Premiere feierte, auch zur Berlinale geladen wurde und eine Jim Thompson-Adaption mit Casey Affleck, Jessica Alba und Kate Hudson ist. Kein Wunder, dass die französische Schockschmiede Wild Bunch wieder ihre Finger im Spiel hatte:

"Distributors everywhere will be shy of this film, despite Winterbottom’s established reputation. Anyone releasing it will be dogged by its violence, especially towards women. Theatrical response should be similar to Antichrist, another film whose violence is at the extreme of what is watchable."

"More violent than Chigurh, the killer in No Country for Old Men, Ford is also far more cerebral than American Psycho’s Patrick Bateman. In his ability to talk about almost anything, he is reminiscent of real killers like the well-groomed Ted Bundy."
