We're the Millers (2013)
I did not laugh
Space space. Aight I did laugh a couple of times, and I rate it 4 because of that, but in the end it was all bullshorts.
Den skyldige (2018)
Somethens wong here...
Perhaps the intention of "Den skyldige" is too obvious in the way it makes a statement about the police forces in kopenhagen, how they work, and what kind of people gets the place to decide for the emergencies of others. I wouldn't know, never went to Denmark, not even to Europe. If this is correct, the movie fulfills its purpose. nevertheless it bores with its formula of suspense already explored in other movies ("Locke, 2013", "Buried, 2010", etc), and it presents us a dirty trigger-happy policeman working in emergency call center who receives a call that will put him in check. Impossible to empathize with a imbecile who gives himself the luxury of yawning, stretching, slipping away from time, talking to colleagues on the phone, and much more during an initial kidnapping situation and then murder, not to mention some scenes are unconvincing. And it is intended that in the end our hero redeems himself with his confession and believing that he did a deed of good ... shameful at least.
Black Mass (2015)
Pretentiously disastrous
For some reason I do not remember, I ended up watching this movie in the cinema. As the plot progressed, it became more and more pretentious, something like a failed attempt to copy the work of the great Marty Scorsese. Johnny Depp is an actor with abilities, manages to build a truly sinister character. Joel Edgerton effectively achieves an exasperating character for his idiocy and his pathetic pretense of being a gangster. The story is told in the typical flashback format from the point of view of a former gangster belonging to the Whitey Bulger (Depp) gang. The formula is repeated, we see his rise, his position in the neighborhood, his ally FBI agent John Connolly (Edgerton) who protects him, business with dirty politicians, loose ends, and of course all this converges in the predictable fall of these characters. Nothing new.
Hollywood sometimes gets bored, and it comes up with the idea of producing films with little innovative content, which repeat themselves as can be seen also in "American Hustle" (2013), in desperate attempts to emulate the masterful narrative of great films such as "Goodfellas" (1990), "Casino" (1995), or "Scarface" (1983).
12 Segundos (2013)
Intensily bad
The other night zapping very late I came across this film, I assumed it was near the end. It only took me a few minutes to realize that it was a complete waste of time. The music was a horror and did not connect with the images, some forced performances, very bad direction work and cinematography, the focus! the pace of the camera, the frame, its movements, all seemed reluctantly done, what would have happened before or what was going to happen afterwards did not matter to me. I don't feel like rating it. Bizarre.
