Who said he was trying to make a contemporary film? And who says b-movies can't be entertaining? Those are the two facts you simply refuse to get your head around which is why you are continually missing the point.

Yes, some things were meant to evoke a mood of the 70's but that doesn't mean the film has to be bad. Dialogue can be cheesy yet clever. Characters don't have to be three dimensional but you can still care about them. You are sitting here calling people ignorant but you have no point.

People know that he wanted to make a film that paid homage to exploitation films. He did it poorly. It was boring.

Oh, and spare me with the contingencies shit. At least be willing to stand by your calling people out. It's bad enough when you make things up but if you can't stand by your posts then log off.
