A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints

Robert Downey Jr.? Shia LaBeouf? Channing Tatum? Got a bunch of good ratings? Won a bunch of Sundance awards and shit? Sounds like it has potential!

POTENTIAL TO REALLY SUCK

This movie was quite literally unwatchable for me. Rather, unlistenable. Large segments of the movie are just Seinfeld-like depictions of day-to-day life... in a household where LIKE FIFTY SEVEN PEOPLE ARE ALL TALKING AT ONCE.

It's interestingly made; the characters suddenly break the fourth wall every now and then, and it sort of jumps back and forth between past and present, and seems like it was probably really emotional and powerful and stuff... if it weren't for the fact that watching it made me feel like I was having an onset of acute schizophrenia.

If someone wants to watch the whole thing and tell me how it was, that would be cool. I had to turn it off after like 45 minutes.

Here's a trailer... looks pretty good.

EDIT: It also had a lot of violence of the type that makes me feel sick to my stomach. Fair warning.

Wow I have never heard of this movie before. It looks good - what kind of violence are you talking about? If there's rape...meh, I'll pass =x

I didn't see any rape. Violence like real-life violence, like they show in the trailer. I can handle fake action movie violence like blowing up planets and shit, but seeing someone get hit with a baseball bat makes me feel sick.

Reading about it being in the movie made me sick. I'll pass.
