Mall is distort depiction of a group of individuals a pervert, a selfish business women some doped up teenagers and a meth head psychopath. Directed by the turntable's, DJ and sampler for the American rock band Linkin Park and featured many of their songs. All the characters are going about their weekend routine whether its smoking pot going to the mall to perv or shopping. All of their lives are then disrupted by Mal a cracked up psychopath about to go on a shooting spree in the Mall. Mal is played by James Frecheville an up and coming actor who is extremely talented. I first watched him in 'Adore', 'The first time' and 'The Drop'. I look forward to seeing him in 'The Standford prison experiment' too.
I really like Mal as a character he is hilariously vile, grossly disturbing and very violent. If you like dark humour certain parts of this film will have you in stitches. I was in tears watching one scene set in a gas station and Mal is extremely degrading and rude to the check out girl but for some reason the disturbingly hilarious insults he threw at her were extremely funny. Cameron Monaghan known for 'Shamless' USA is the main character id say as he narrates most of the film. He is zoned out most of the time and looks terrifyingly run down. The crooked tale of these individuals all seem to add up in the end with all little stories linking with each other. I took a huge liking to how fast paced the film was and the way it was shot almost like you was a spectator inside a video game. The characters were all very spontaneous and clueless in their all individual ways unaware of what was actually going on. It was a really fresh idea and cast and I thought it was darkly funny at times and enjoyable to watch as it was so insanely exhilarating at times.
