Crown Vic (2019)
Deeply well done
Very fine movie under practically any point of view. Direction, photography, cinematography, editing, lights and soundtrack form a consistent composition. Thomas Jane's acting is awesome and Luke Kleintank does an amazing support job.
The Contractor (2022)
Plot holes and clichés
The plot of this movie has more holes than a gruyere cheese: the story is plagued by inconsistencies, lack of rationale for why characters take certain decisions, no attempt to give it a bare minimum of realism. It's OK that the hero has to prevail against unsurmountable odds and countless enemies but come on. And shooting German policemen on German soil??!!
Chris pine and the director Tarik Saleh do more than well with what they've been served by the questionable screenwriting of J. P. Davis.
However, putting aside its merits and flaws, this movie rises a question: does it make sense to make yet another movie on an all-American hero? Haven't we seen and re-seen this liturgy over and over and over again?
Jagten (2012)
spoiled by the finale
I gave this movie a 6. It could have been a 9 based on gripping and well written screenplay, direction, acting and cinematic value but the astonishingly idiotic finale spoiled it so deeply.
Among the Shadows (2019)
OMG!
I've just seen (or better attempted to) what undoubtedly is the worst pic I've ever seen in my long life of movie addict.
I am laughing in incredulity: seriously can't believe than any film maker (film maker??!!) could even conceive such a travesty of a movie.
Plot: sorry, come again
Dialogues: pure cringe
Acting: change job
Photography: cheap and cheesy
And poor Lindsay, alas so far have you fallen.
Shorta (2020)
Touching descent into hell
This movie is very well done: good direction, good photography, good music, good action scenes but most of all a story that despite being sometimes wavering, manages to strike many right chords. There is no escape or redemption, (almost) everything gets in the end corrupted, defiled or destroyed. The social issue of Muslim immigration in Northern Europe gives the poignant background to an already solid drama, creating an almost perfect movie.
