Savages - Fill in the Blank

Slight SPOILERS if you haven't seen the film.

Savages could have used more __________.

1. Blake Lively doing something. Anything.
2. Emile Hirsch. Why are you even in this movie?
3. Dia de Los Muertos masks. Seriously, I just love the way they look, so cool.

Savages could have used less __________.

1. Voiceover. It's not terrible, but at times it's overwrought.
2. Obvious violence. I like my violence to be more of a surprise. On the plus side, you always have a good five second warning that something bad is going to happen so you can close your eyes if you want.
3. Endings. One is enough. Commit and go with it, no need for half-assed consolation endings.
