I couldn't get on with House With The Laughing Windows, sadly. I have the Image DVD and that'll do me as it just didn't do it for me, as I say. I'm getting Amsterdamned though.

Amsterdamned is a police-thriller that has decent suspence but moreover it has nothing. No twists, no real "rhriller-feeling. I don't even understand the 18-rating. There is absolutely nothing thar justifies this rating. It could imo have an 15-rating. Anyway strange decision to release this one as it doesdn't fit in the portfolio and it isn't italian (as I thought, Shameless had thir focus on 70s-italian cinema) an it is by no means "horrible". A simple crime-film, where the caracterisics of the culprit are almost known from the start and which also has some teenager-father-arguements. It is surely watchable but nothin special. I don't know, if anyone here knows the German 'Tatort' films. I would primarily campare amsterdamed to those. |

I thought Amsterdamned had a lot of slasher traits attached to it though, so in that regard it fits in with the rest of their catalogue, but yeah it's not Italian which is unusual.

The most interesting thing ist the speed-boat pursiut, but that's all. The you-love-me-love-him-thing is unnecessary too and is rather typical for German Tatort. It just distracts from the plot and imo tries to help over some lengthy action. And there are more such scenes which don't do anything to carry on the action. So the backery scene: Police-Officer sees a hold-up of a backery-shop while waiting on the traffic-lights. He helps, arrests the robber, but destroys some cakes. And what does the owner do? He only asks who pays for the destroyed cakes. I had to fight not to burst into laughter. This and some other scenes more than once question the seriousness of the film for me. By all means, it cannot keep pace with House of Laughing Windows for example. If the film had been released amongst other titles by another label it probably would have fit. But amongst the titles here it just is out of place |
