a review of 毒蛙

Surprise, surprise, the poster for this film has nothing to do with it. I mean, there are plenty of frogs and toads, but all they do is sit around and croak. Somehow all the mayhem caused by all manner of other creatures drafted to be in this film is attributed to the frogs, and it seems as though it's only because the filmmakers decided that's the most effective scapegoat to run a campaign against. The acting, camera work, script, and soundtrack are on a par with this wrongheaded decision too. I'm giving it a star because the deaths come off not so much horrifying as ludicrous, which might appeal to some.
