Review of Taboo

Taboo (1999)
3/10
A pointless and unsatisfying film.
1 November 2007
This film has some promise at the beginning but doesn't deliver on it.

It starts with hints that the main character has hidden motivations and is playing a deeper game than we are being shown.

Kano seems to be hiding the extent of his abilities and his motivation for joining the militia, and then it just stops, these themes aren't really advanced any further.

The plot just peters out without resolving anything or going anywhere.

It is well acted and extremely stylish and the ending is good in a way but it just seems like there should have been more too it, I just found it boring and pointless.
