Beyond Redemption – The Rules of Attraction

The Rules of Attraction

So, I finally watched another Ian Solmerhalder film, The Rules of Attraction, and I must say that this one was fucking good. My boy is just a supporting player (though he has a somewhat major role), but his performance was great. That aside, you know who I have a new respect for? James Van Der Beek. Yep, Dawson. I always found that show a colossal turnoff, and he’s completely unattractive to me with a big, damn head, but he pwned his role as Sean Bartman, a fuck-up, wannbe drug dealer. I mean, seriously, I walked away really impressed with his acting.

The film revolves around a bunch of young college students and the insanity that is their lives. There’s everything from drug use to suicide, and just the way I love it, this movie starts dark and ends dark with lots of hilarity and emotion (at certain parts) in between. Every character learns a hard lesson, and there’s lots of nummy angst that an angst queen like me can sink her fangs into. I will be keeping this one for the DVD collection.

Out of a possible 5 Tessaigas, I give this one 4.  😀
