Just the other day I said to myself if Ryan Gosling gives just one more brilliant performance in just one more fascinating film I would concede he was the most gifted, versitile actor since Edward Norton. Well sorry folks looks like I jixned it. Only God Forgives reunites Gosling with Drive director Nicholas Winding Refn, but whereas that film was a restrained and stylishly violent story well told, this is just an empty, ugly mess of a film, with unspeakably brutal violence failing to substitute for a complete lack of a narrative. Gosling who maybe utters 10 words, is basically a lifeless cardboard cutout and Kristen Scott Thomas as his mother goes so far out there, I'm affraid we may never see her again. Not a complete disaster as some would claim, but because of its pacing, its characters, its level of violence and its subject matter, pretty much impossible to like on really any level.
