25th Hour (2002)
It insists upon itself. Could have been so much better.
The first thing that caught me off guard was the editing. Was Lee going for dramatic effect, or were they just a little high that day?
There are so many conversations that are just meaningless, it does not give you a glimpse into their lives.
I'm sure the book went much more into developing the characters but that did not translate well into a script
He still could have gone out west and started a family when he got out of jail.
TWC in the background? long F U speech? added nothing.
5.5/10
Idi i smotri (1985)
not impressed
I watched this thinking it would be a great depiction of the eastern front. By the end I was taking it for what it was; the Russian film interpretation of the eastern front. Don't take this film for truth. Read the book "Ordinary Men" or something along those lines and get an accurate look at the horrors of the east.
I found the Russian view of the Nazis very amusing. They were shown as pirates or even characters from mad max or the smokers from water world.
At the end I also found it hard to believe that a small Russian partisan group was able to defeat a regular infantry unit in open combat. Possible, but unlikely.
The Kids facial expression is the movie. There are some good scenes, but the whole movie could be edited to 1/2 its length.
