Well. Most violent movies are about men reverting to kindergarten morality to solve a problem — “Mine!” “Give it back!” “You broke it!” — but perhaps this one will acknowledge that more forthrightly: Mommy is mad. It’s not nice when Mommy is mad. Must make Mommy happy.
Of course, most moms you could just bring some flowers. This one wants a head. Sheesh.
My main fear is that it’ll be too stylised and self-consciously arty for my tastes, something Refn got perilously close to with Drive.
