Why Don't You Just Die!

Relentless stylised violence and a claustrophobic atmosphere makes for a riveting watch. Fantastic and unusual film.

Would you be interested in watching a movie in which a bent cop drills holes in a guy's leg with a Black & Decker? If so then this is for you! Very black comedy with highly stylised gory violence. Obviously pretty silly but good fun.

"Why Don't You Just Die!" is very, very bloody & very, bloody good. Director Kirill Sokolov, the Russian Quentin Tarantino, successfully intertwines elements of American Westerns and pulp fiction into the movie's gripping, gory plot. In all aspects – including acting, cinematography, screenplay, and soundtrack, it's a near-perfect film noir.

This is very much a bloody violent, somewhat gore infested film. Its pretty over the top and I suppose that give its the dark comedy - its very darkly comic, though if you don't like blood and guts, even in a somewhat exaggerated, almost comic book style way, then you won't find this 'funny' really. I'm not sure if I can call it funny in the 'normal' sense - of this type of film, its about what you may expect I suppose. I'd also like to point out that the film features some pretty bright lighting - almost all of the film takes place in one apartment, with old fashioned, bright wallpaper and strip lights etc. all clearly standing out. Ofcourse the plot line is ludicrous, if anything then that may be what makes you laugh - the title gives it away a bit. Its a bit like a duracell bunny, with more than one character seemingly surviving the un-survivable. I'd like to think most people watching (well, everyone watching, surely?) would realise this is hardly a realistic plot but that's ok, its only a film - this is definitely not a biopic!. I guess if you like this kind of film then yes, I'd recommend it.

Craziest movie I've ever seen. My sister got me to watch it. Hint of Tarantino and the wild west.

Thoroughly good fun. Like a Rix farce but with people dying rather than their trousers falling down!

Absolutely loved in. Violent and hilarious dark comedy.

even if the gore scenes are entertaining and well done, the film fails to maintain that much of verisimilitude that allows the viewer to be involved in the staged bloodbath.

As promising a debut for Kirill Sokolov in this genre as QT's "Reservoir Dogs" or Danny Boyle's "Shallow Grave". I found this far more entertaining than I could have imagined thanks to its wonderfully morbid sense of humor, the crisply-paced editing, and Sokolov's restless camera that reveals a natural born filmmaker. Certainly not for the squeamish, but a fine late-night, blood-soaked yarn nonetheless.
