Observe and Report
Bi-polar mall security guard Ronnie Barnhardt is called into action to stop a flasher from turning shopper's paradise into his personal peep show. But when Barnhardt can't bring the culprit to justice, a surly police detective, is recruited to close the case.
It may work for you or it may not work for you. This film just totally worked for me. The kind of humor that flows in this film is one of the few kinds of humor I really like. That really dark and disturbing humor that makes me laugh like a sadistic evil child. Clearly this is not for those who are totally soft-hearted and easily offended. There are alot of materials, both written and visual, that are so shocking and graphic, yet dry and skimming. And I might be one of those freaks who can appreciate this kind of movie.
Seth Rogan plays such a dark and dangerous character, you just don't want to get into his head. Anna Faris, from Scary Movie and House Bunny, is there to play your typical dumb blonde. Michael Pena, who was amazing in Crash and World Trade Centre, turn to his funny side and actually proved his worth. And Ray Liotta is still cool. The humor is very sick and twisted at times can be either very clever or just plain disgusting. The violence is pretty up there from practical to very brutal. And I'll warn you, the ending scene is very very.... I can't describe it.. its just shocking. Yet the payoff is kind of worth it.
3 out of 5 stars
