Rubber (2010)

An absurdist experiment directed by Quentin Dupieux (aka Mr. Oizo) tells the story of a tire that becomes a live and starts killing people with its psychic powers.  Such a wacky idea would usually find favor with me, in fact I loved the first thirty minutes of this film so much I wish I would have stopped watching from that point so I could celebrate this odd film as an entertaining masterpiece.  Unfortunately the film fizzles out and what I was left seeing was a underdeveloped story based on a witty and grand idea.  Talk about a lost opportunity.  I will say though, at least the last few minutes ended up on a positive note.   I think if Dupieux needed to developed the characters more instead of expecting the kookiness carry the film.  Grade: C+
