Review of What Doesn't Kill You (2008) by Mark S — 27 Jan 2010
The sad thing about this movie is the actors involved are extremely talented and do their jobs well. Ruffalo, Hawke, and Amanda Peet work damn hard at trying to make this bile believable. Why the hell does every ex-gangster who knows how Microsoft Word works get either a book or a movie made out of their life? We get it, you had a rough childhood which led to a life of crime and as much as working is "standing in mud" those pesky balls of yours don't want to have to settle down.
It's like if Henry Hill got to make Goodfellas. This guy thinks he should be honored for not going around and stealing shit that doesn't belong to him....awesome. Why does this movie keep getting made? And why do I have to watch all these scenes that look like the worst takes just slapped together.
I wonder if independent now means that they didn't load a tripod onto the truck. Another example of how the Wahlberg Brothers are destroying entertainment. If it isn't a half hour watching how rich Mark is, now Donnie is writing screenplays.
And he got Ruffalo and Hawke! FUCK OFF!
