Metal Skin (1994)
3/10
its intense - intensely boring

Warning: Spoilers
You'd think that a movie with this much sex, violence, high speed racing, and yes even satanic sacrifice would tend to be a little more interesting than it actually is. This movie could have used a good deal more editing, if it had 40 minutes trimmed down from its bulky 1:42 it might just be a good movie. The film is full of stretched out spans of time where the only thing happening is meaningful silent stares for dramatic effect, an effect that somewhat loses the drama if its happening in almost every scene. The movie also has a sort of excessive stylishness about its visual appearance (dramatic colors and lighting, predictably unpredictable camera angles, puddles everywhere, etc) that just tends to enhance the sense that the actual plot of the film is just boring crap.

The only part of the movie i really enjoyed was at the end when everyone starts getting killed off. I knew that if things kept going down this predictable route eventually enough characters would be dead so this tedious film would be forced to finally end.
