Review of Badlands

I realize a lot of people are going to disagree with my thoughts on this movie because just like the awful movie " Natural Born Killers'' this movie is liked and sadly that says a lot about people.

If you actually know anything about the real crime that inspired this movie you probably would find it hard to like...

But let me start with this

The director wanted to make the two main characters into heroes and failed to show them for what they really are and that's a couple of low life monsters who killed innocent people with no remorse. The director even goes out of his way to make you hate Holly's father ( played by the talented Warren Oates) he is cruel and sadistic taking her dog out and shooting it..therefore when he dies you feel nothing This movie turns victims into villains and villains into victims.

Also the end scene where Kit gets arrested and the cops like him seemed a bit odd and juvenile almost like a fan fiction created from a delusional mind.

Altogether its a very dull and pathetic movie. I hope that eventually someone gets this story right but I doubt it as its been tried and failed countless times.
