Negative Positive
Title: Dark and Dingy
Review: I got taken in by some good reviews and wasted 100 minutes of my life watching this ugly little movie. It feels like a low-budget, R-rated episode of CSI; everything is dark and dingy, including the characters. Nobody, including the main character, Bernie, is very likable, and most of them are downright creepy. There's a lot of sadistic violence, and the "saved by the bell" ending is just dumb. I'm giving this two stars, rather than one, because Macy, Baldwin and Bello all turn in good performances, but overall "The Cooler" comes across as something Quentin Tarantino would do if he lost about 40 IQ points.
Is the review positive or negative?
