Scars (II) (2016) User Reviews

Sadly dull ...

[parry_na · 4/10 · 14 October 2022]

Not that the two main female characters are billed as representative of anything, but I think the message this film carries is that all men are imbeciles. Selfish, full of their own importance, dishonest and boring. Two victimised women join forces to rid the world of such sharply dressed gits. It's filmed very much like a documentary, the acts of violence conveyed in an unspectacular way (although there's a nice one towards the end).

As a result, things are deathly dull viewing a lot of the time. Language and lifestyle choices may seem quite shocking to begin with, but with nowhere to escalate to, lose their impact and appeal the more we see them. There is a constant backdrop of topical news reports running throughout. There's probably a message there about the corruption of the world, but it's not clear.

A nice twist at the end doesn't really make the previous 108 minutes less tedious. My score is 4 out of 10.

Two is more than one

No pun intended - and not meant to describe the scars. What scars by the way? Not visible ones you say? Well you may be onto something there. Because when two individuals (our main characters) decide to go ... well on the hunt together ... I reckon that is what you can call it ... well all heck breaks loose (no pun intended - just think of the other h word).

While I may not be sure, what can be considered offensive or not - the movie may have some scenes that are not for sensitive eyes. But there are far worse (better?) movies out there when it comes to violence and all that stuff ... just putting that out there - again no pun intended.

I am a stockbroker.

Two women named Scarlett (one actually named Scarlett and one made it up) team up and kill guys. There have been better films made about a real bloody battle of the sexes. Danielle Cole is the crazier of the two and does a horrible camera glance in the last scene. The blood props were rank amateur especially in the first kill scene, and in the scene where they kill Henry with a stab to the groin. They were "so bad it's good" a place where I don't think the film makers wanted to go. Ever hear of a blood pouch? You place it under the clothes, puncture it and it looks like your were stabbed. The turn the camera away and come back to the scene didn't make it. They used the same butcher knife for every kill, something difficult to carry around and conceal, but suddenly it pops out of no where. The film has a constant drone of Arab Spring monologue on TV, most likely to create a contrast or meaningful metaphor I missed... like liberating Libya is like liberating women, they just turn around and kill you. They hit a guy in the head and green stuff splatters on the wall. How did they get all that blood over the bathroom walls by the tub? The whole unknown unknowns speech at the end was silly. How do you know there are unknown unknowns? It is an assumption.

Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

Married Men Beware

[shawnblackman · 5/10 · 19 October 2016]

Two women decide they have had enough of men so they start killing them. A kind of Thelma And Louise meets Natural Born Killers meets I Spit On Your Grave.

The one woman who goes by the name Scar (she doesn't divulge her real name) has most of the anger issues as we see her family upbringing wasn't the best. This is done to justify her need to plunge knives into peoples bellies. Her friend has a habit of dating married men and then extorting them for cash. Together they go clubbing at night taking with them a butcher knife that gets used when they lure men in the alley.

The film seems slow at times as you get several scenes of people watching TV for a minute or two which adds up. They don't really get into their backgrounds or what makes them tick. They show Scar's dad rolling a joint but don't touch on anything. Lots of stabbings. shootings and a beheading with a butcher knife. Overall not a bad flick.
