Whacked! (2011) User Reviews

Strange film

[wondernoel · 8/10 · 11 February 2014]

This film begins with a scene where many people suddenly fall down on the street. At first, the viewer might not know what in the world happens. After this scene, a man works at a golf practice range and retrieves golf balls from the ground.

However, we cannot find out the connection between the first scene and this one. And at last, we can recognize it. By making the viewer watch the last scene at first, we can expect more the next scene and can be more absorbed in this.

There are no conversations, only sounds. When he shoots the ball on the building, the sound is a little funny because it's mixed with the sounds of ambulance, shooting and people's cheers and claps. After I watched and understood the complete scenario, I enjoyed watching this again from the start.

still unsolved the last questions which you might solve

Whacked! Is a kind of revenge movie with no dialogue. The story is that a man working at the golf driving range decides to take revenge against people who deliberately aim the ball at him while he is working. This movie became clear to me after thinking about it in two ways. First, the storyline is ingenious. I wondered what was happening at first, but gradually it was disentangled. Second is the content itself. The moment he is taking revenge with his smile made me also smile and bright. At last, some words are written on his shirt and his hand but I am still not what they indicate. You should watch this film and relieve stress and also solve the remaining questions.

Whacked! review

[b-63195 · 7/10 · 7 March 2019]

Whacked is the short film of a killer who kills a target by using a golf ball. The story begins with the scene of a dead person in a city and suddenly changes to the scene in a golf course. It raises question such as why that person died and where it is, and this is good way to attract audiences. For me, golf is just a sport for vacations, so I did not expect that it was his means of killing at all. Since I like the emotional movie in which audiences think about what the lead character thinks and how they overcome their hardships, I do not like this film since it was so simple. However, I think the structure of film is clear and it successfully solves the questions which the audiences come up with at the beginning of the film at the last scene.

Convinced climax!

[hirotohirotogackt · 7/10 · 5 July 2017]

In first scene, some people fell down one after another and I did not understand what happened. But it was the consequence of a phenomenon. By contrary, the middle scene was monotonous and a little tasteless. A man who works at golf course and collects a lot of balls hit by customers strike his vehicle. He might well be angry. This daily temper brings the final shocking scene. This short film does not unveil the truth until the climax, but once the audience watches the climax, everyone will be satisfied with it. It makes our confusions in the last scene clear. And I do not know whether this film is owing to old, but the monochromatic images feel eerie. Though I feel like that, this film's screenplay is so good!

revenge story

[ganpon · 7/10 · 20 July 2021]

Whacked is a revenge story which begins with people in New York city being whacked by something. We don't know the reason, but it seems to have something to do with golf and the man collecting the golf balls. We are going to find out what does the character think and what is the truth. The biggest characteristic of the film is that there is no dialog in the film. However, the character was well acted, and I could easily understand what he feels and thinks. The black and white movie makes us feel the old time too. I felt that some people might really like the film but some people don't, for the reason that you might not sympathize with the character's action. However, the film is short and has good tempo so it worth checking out.

Remarkable Last Scene

[foodie03 · 8/10 · 13 August 2017]

In New York City, people strangely fall down in the street one after another. Sirens are ringing over the city, and people don't know what's happening and panic. We audience also wonder what's happening and take a lot of guesses. The next scene is in a golf course. People enjoy playing a golf. However, I couldn't make the connection between the accident and the golf scene. A man puts a large amount of golf balls in the back of the cart and finishes his work. After that, he finds the suitable place where nobody interrupts him from playing a golf. At the end of this film, all things are unraveled clearly. We can't expect how this film is going on and the trick is covered up until the ending, which makes it very interesting and people excited and thrilled. This film is so amazing.

Interesting

[mailtaka · 5 May 2014]

THis film is interesting because it told me the darkness of society. I think Japan has a lot of shady companies. But seeing this movie, I notice that not only Japanese people but also other countries people piled up tremendous hardships by their work.

When I saw this movie first time, I did not get a grip on the whole aspect of this story. By looking at it two or three times, I found what it after another by looking at the comments of contributers of Youtube. It seemed to me only they lost consciousness by being hit by the ball on their head.

Finally, I have one question. It is the point of the murderer who hit golf balls. Which did he aim at people indiscriminately or people who had come to the golf course? I could not determine well the physique and face of the victims because the image quality was not good.

Whacked!

[happoppy56 · 6 May 2014]

This movie was very cruel. There are a lot of people and cars in New York. People are urging through the streets. Some people fall flat on their back or face. Other people pass them. Itis a very shocking scene. A lot of people play golf. There are many golf balls. A man goes to the rooftop. He burns with anger and hits the ball. Then, it hits a person who walks on the street. He jumped for joy. I honesty do not know what this movie wants to say. However, a lot of people feel the stress of urban life. I think that everybody in the world, including me, may be a criminal. This movie has just black and white color. It makes us sad and gloomy.
