Remember when Drive came out and a bunch of stupid people got mad because it wasn’t a Fast & Furious movie? Well, when Only God Forgives came out, a different bunch of stupid people got mad because it wasn’t Drive. I guess it’s unfair to call those people stupid. I’m sure that the majority of…
I can only hope that this week features a genuine mystery to solve. I mean, I love fanservice and all, and the wedding was what I would have wanted it to be, but I really do want the intrigue I’m accustomed to. That was my naive attitude going into episode 3, having found the first…

It finally got a brief theatrical release in 2013, following an enthusiastic advertising campaign focused mainly on the scary guys with animal masks. What that—and the trailers—failed to convey is…
