Ticked-Off Trannies With Knives
Review by Kurt Dahlke | posted October 27, 2010
http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/46385/ticked-off-trannies-with-knives/It's impossible to fault director Israel Luna and Breaking Glass Pictures for issuing Ticked-Off Trannies With Knives - it's probably the best title ever for an exploitation movie (OK, tied with I Dismember Mama). Things get tricky, however, when you try to figure the damn movie out. I'll offer this; Trannies is transgressively charming, alternately frustrating and enchanting, and probably like nothing you've ever seen before. Forgiving lovers of sleaze cinema will find this movie surprisingly worth the effort, as long as you can put up with the parts that aren't.
I'd say it's hard to really separate part from part, to extract the fabulous from the detumescent, except that Luna's already done that for you. By neatly splitting his film into utterly schizophrenic chunks, Luna has made it possible for you to simply skip the bits of movie you don't like to get to the good stuff. With a movie this conflicted, it's up to you to decide which parts you enjoy, but for the true Cinema Adventurer, you have to watch it all in order to achieve the full effect.
