Lumberjack the Monster

Lumberjack

Lumberjack This dropped on Netflix with little fanfare, word of mouth or press releases which is surprising as its directed by cult filmmaker Takashi Miike.

It’s an interesting, stylish and extremely well made thriller with solid production values with the cinematography and sound design top notch.

It’s a mash up of Jagged Edge, Seven and Memories of Murder but like them outstanding films it’s

talky and ponderous with some thrilling moments and come few and far between. Although the attack by ‘Lumberjack’ in the high rise storey building was jumpy.

The problem lies in an overloaded script with too many characters to follow, a sub plot about ‘neuro chips’ that adds to very little and little character development.

I wonder if this would have been a better three part Netflix series instead?

Nevertheless, an interesting take on the thriller genre by a world class visionary
