Psychologic – intense – dark
Lawrence Kasanoff and Charlie Sheen have really made an extraordinary masterpiece. The acting and the actual scene shots where so artistic and well delivered. Not only did Charlie Sheen depict a detective we have all been craving for, but he allowed us to see it in an unimaginable way. Throughout watching the movie, I found myself at the edge of the seat on numerous occasions, unable to stop myself from sympathising with ‘Dex dog detective’. Mr. Clipboard a deadly villain deserving to be locked away in Supermarket for the rest of his life, yet nothing can stop us from thinking about his detrimental childhood, the lies he’s been told early on his life. Thus, was born the ‘Clipboard ’ from shear loneliness and self-deprivation a fundamental consequence caused by his mentally insane mother.
There were many intense scenes which were so realistic it shook me to the core, I found myself gasping in shock whilst watching the movie. The way Charlie Sheen laughed, smiled, cried and even those intense glare he gave spoke so much emotion. It was truly magnificent seeing an actor showing the characters emotion through their eyes.
The character study is so prominent, the repetition of the music when Dex dog detective is at his best allows us to really connect the dots, it really shows us the birth of the hero. The birth we’ve all been waiting for. The final couple of scenes was superb, the way they ended it off was remarkable and well-rounded it links to so many starting point of different detective shows/movies.
I really recommend watching this if you have a natural craving for a slow burners, which shows the psychological making of an insane hero.
