ThiefHott Too much of everything

Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

gavin6942 "Crimewave" is a bizarre film, written by the Coen Brothers and directed by Sam Raimi. The plot is just strange... two criminals kill the owners of an alarm company and then begin killing the witnesses to the crime. Done in slapstick comedy style...This film has Sam Raimi written all over it. His crazy zoom camera shots, the inclusion of Bruce Campbell as "the heel"... and the very over-the-top silliness. The only other time the Coens really tread this path was with "The Hudsucker Proxy" (which is, in all fairness, the better film)... and that, too, had Raimi's involvement.I suggest this film is worth seeing. While not the Coens' best, not Raimi's best, it's an interesting little film, bizarre, and a good showcase of early work from those involved.

turboxiann Canadian director John Piazs made another film titled Crimewave at the same time and was unable to use the title in the states due to Dantes Crimewave. Its titles have the word "big" awkwardly pop up on the screen. The Piazs film is also a homage to pulp 50s/60s crime dramas as well as the frustration, illusion and apathy the main character goes thru in trying to realize his dream. Despite how depressing the description may seem the film is hilarious and one of my all time faves. Its narrated by the little girl who's parents rent him the attic above their garage. The film contains beginnings and endings of his films. According to the girl Kim he has problems with the stuff in between.Hence why he never finishes his Crimewave films. Piazs even filmed the movie in lavish color. Its a total classic and unfortunately even less known in the states then the Dante crimewave Thu a respected cult film in Canada. See by all means if you can find a copy

Greensleeves This is a fabulously unique film and I guarantee you have never seen anything like it. It's virtually a live action cartoon which proceeds at breakneck speed and is hilarious to watch. It's one of the most 'cinematic' films you will ever see and every scene uses colour, imaginative camera work and scenic design to optimum effect. The only downsides are the casting of Reed Birney in the lead when the part really calls for someone with more charisma. The sense of period becomes very fuzzy and the music score is a little too overpowering and becomes quite wearing after a while. But don't let anything put you off seeing this film if you get the chance because there is so much to enjoy. You will gasp at the sheer inventiveness of it all and Bruce Campbell fans will lap up his appearance here which he plays to absolute perfection.
