Pimped

How different and challenging life can be, for women and for men , in sickness and in health. this is a psychological horror thriller, that starts off very slow burning, so you sit there flipping coins, shall i leave it or not.... because it is in the second half it really takes off to become mental and quite nasty. there are psychopathia, quite a few actually, but can you guess who???

it is a film with few location, quite spartanic equipted apartments and houses, the story must have been written on a paper napkin, and the sound product is a mess. there are a few murders,and they come fast an abrupt prescice and very bloody. there are also a very strong alter ego,that really plays an important part in the plot. so when the pimp gets pimped by the pimp who is then the pimp.

its a bit slow, but it is watchable and fine for those who likes it a bit burlesque, a small recommendation from the grumpy old man

Worth seeing; this film features a talented first time director and a great cast.

My only criticism would be that I wished it was longer!

It's not often I wish a movie wouldn't end but that's exactly how I felt at the rather abrupt conclusion to Pimped. Which is funny because the opening 20 minutes didn't pull me in at all, but then out of the blue this movie revs up and keeps motoring on pleasingly and Ella Scott Lynch is the main reason for this, her character Sarah displaying all the hallmarks of being a mentally disturbed, dangerous young lady. The execution in this is amazingly effective and I wanted to see more but it ends after 75 minutes which was disappointing because we don't know how things pan out for Sarah.

It's a rape revenge type of thriller that spins off in an unexpected direction and had me wondering what would happen next. Clever movie making, excellent direction and some funny bits mixed in, makes for a titillating viewing experience that I really didn't want to end. That and the first 20 knocks it back so I'll settle for a respectable rating of 6 stars.

Fair writing. Grisly, with some mild humor. Lots of muscles on the heroine; who is the typical 21st century "strong" female etc. I suppose we should believe that rapists deserve death. At least we're supposed to.

Pimped is tightly scripted thriller, surprising me with it's themes. I wasn't expecting a genre film that dealt with issues of identity, while also building to a climatic end based around the abuse of a woman. Ella Scott Lynch is remarkable in her roles, so too Benedict Samuel. I saw this in the cinema in Sydney and it has stayed with me since. Beautifully shot with a soundtrack that was intense and minimal at the same time. This really moved me on a number of levels.
