Stay (2005) Ladda Ner Hela

In Marc Forster's humorless thriller, going insane is an exciting, luxurious affair.. A whodunit so nicely crafted that you're tempted to forgive the Byzantine plot -- hell, you're even tempted to pretend you actually understand its twisting obscurities.. Stay is crowded with layers and symbols, probably too many for one movie, and it ultimately wears out its welcome. But its images are compelling, even as its story fades away.. Whether you guess the ending early or have it smack you upside the ...

Case 39 (2009) Ladda Ner Hela

[Plays] like one more piece of multiplex in-box clutter, ready for the circular file in our moviegoing consciousness.. This is horror hokum of the cheesiest kind. Rent 'Orphan' instead.. This is a nasty and morally repulsive film.. This ludicrous outing from helmer Christian Alvart and scribe Ray Wright takes its psycho-satanic babble much too seriously, and should elicit more laughs than frights.. From a bevy of cheesy jolt scares (alarm clock! barking dog!) to the embarrassing sight of Zellweg...

Orphan (2009) Spela Strömmande

By the conclusion, your immediate reaction is to want to see the movie again to try to put the pieces together. Your second instinct is to give it a rest.. [Orphan] never exploits the dramatic possibilities, despite the efforts of its excellent cast and gorgeous production values.. Memento is a thriller for people who are sick of thrillers, a puzzle movie in which the puzzle is actually worth the time and effort to solve.. It comes on strong, but in its bloody heart of hearts it's no more resona...

Sicario (2015) Titta Hela Filmen

Villeneuve has crafted a compelling, unflinching look at the deadly and complicated war on drugs, one that will challenge the attitudes of even the most straight-edged and law-abiding viewers.. This is suspenseful stuff, but hanging over the action is the pungent smell of social failure, as the drug war turns both sides into monsters.. Combining relentless action with the story of a woman confronting a corrupted system, it hits with the staggering energy of a visceral kick in the guts - causing ...

Harry Potter och Hemligheternas kammare (2002) Ladda Ner Film

In all fairness, I must report that the children of varying ages in my audience never coughed, fidgeted or romped up and down the aisles for bathroom breaks.. Every two minutes the action whooshes sideways to someone somewhere else.. Radcliffe, 3 inches taller and an octave lower than last year, is growing comfortably into his character, as is Watson, the fetching and confident Hermione.. Alas, as directed by the returning David Yates, these big chase sequences are the usual compendium of ear-sp...

Red Eye (2005) Titta Hela Filmen

This is a sophisticated genre movie, and it's effective on many levels.. Oy, how it falls.. This sequel is what you would expect: If you liked the original, you'll probably enjoy this retread. But be warned: It bogs down in a drawn-out scene near the end.. . When Darkness Falls, it pretty much trips over its own feet.. The movie's convoluted hide-and-seek plot also demands a White House break-in that makes about as much sense as subprime mortgage rates.. Fast and furious and tightly focused and ...

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005) Ladda Ner Hela

If you've seen your share of action flicks (who hasn't?) you should have no trouble chuckling. And nodding and winking.. A more-than-serviceable dark comedy.. Kiss Kiss may be impossibly pleased with itself, but with good reason.. Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang is the first movie since 1994's Pulp Fiction not just to understand movie violence as a pop cultural form ... but to play it like a virtuoso violinist.. Kiss Kiss is such a delightful bombardment, we barely notice that Black's convoluted, serpentin...
