Review of Hunger

Hunger (2008)
6/10
Aesthetically but boring
27 May 2012
I opened for myself director Steve McQueen after his famous "Shame" that really impressed me. I've hoped that his debut "Hunger" will be more impressed me, but it's not happened, but though I liked this movie. In my glance, its main disadvantage is slowness, there is stylish picture, amazing actors but i fought with sleep in watching, maybe because I'm very big fan "Midnight Express" by Alan Parker or maybe I'm just slept not enough. I very liked astonishing dialog between Liam Cunningham and Michael Fassbender, it was really emotionally and touching. I like McQueen's directing style, but in my opinion, in this movie is not enough dramatic tension and action, i don't need action movie, special effects and explosions here, i just need engrossing history, which I not saw here, unfortunately. I'm absolutely not regret that I watched "Hunger", but to re-watch its I won't exactly.
