VFW (3½ Stars)

This is the third film in the Stuttgart White Nights Festival.

In the near future, society has broken down. Drug addiction is so widespread that people are rioting to get their fix. A young woman steals the whole day's supply of drugs from a dealer and takes refuge in a bar belonging to Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW). The five old men sitting at the bar aren't drug addicts, they just like alcohol. The bar comes under attack, not just from the drug dealer's gang, but also from townspeople who need their drugs.

The following film is made up of aggressive fights, with blood splattering everywhere, while a deafening electronic soundtrack is played. I would have enjoyed the film more if the cinematography had been better. The film takes place at night, and the picture is dark throughout. That's not how to make films.
