I never, ever will be hyped about a movie again.

If you’re searching for a movie with deep characters or a thought out story: please, for the love of God, do not watch Dead Leaves and stay away from it as far as you can. Dead Leaves offers nothing of substance as characters or a deep plot. In fact, it’s the total opposite of said substance. It’s crazy, fast, brutal, vulgar, full of action and lacking almost any plot whatsoever (albeit having some twists here and there). If you’d give a (male) teenager some money and let his creative destruction roar, Dead Leaves might be the result.
Several years ago I stumbled upon a trailer on YouTube. After I watched the whole five minutes of it (it’s not a trailer in the normal sense of the word) I knew one thing: I definitely need to see that movie as soon it gets released!!! The name of that movie is Redline, a science fiction anime movie about a crazy race without rules. And it took almost two to three years that my wish will finally be fulfilled! And you will be sitting in the first row of that happening…
You might find it funny coming from the guy who actually runs this blog here, but I think, assume and believe I’ve never reviewed a true 80s movie before. So when I stumbled across the good old Running Man starring now good old Arnold Schwarzenegger I thought “Hell yeah, let’s rock back to the 80s and review it for the sake of online content”.
Where did reality end and where did the dream(s) begin?
