The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011) Ladda Ner Hela

The kick in this material, especially in this new version which plays down Mikael's surliness, is Lisbeth, a pixieish polysexual outlier who seems equipped with her own portable storm cloud.. A masterpiece of genre film-making, really worth to watch.. Seeing Fincher's version is like getting a Christmas gift of a book you already have.. There isn't a dull or dumb moment in this movie.. The film conceals as much as it reveals, and its beauty is that it pretends to do nothing else. It embraces a m...

True Story (2015) Spela Strömmande

True Story digs deeper into the cultural fascination with killers and attempts a potent corrective along the way, reminding us who's been lost but also how justice isn't just another gripping procedural.. Unfortunately this "Story" never finds its footing as either a creepy morality play or a performance-driven two-hander.. Never mind the facts. True Story, slick and shaky, doesn't know where the truth lies.. Jones delivers her moral righteousness with a passion the rest of the film lacks. Other...

Unknown (2011) Titta Hela Filmen

May eventually surrender to convention and implausibility in equal measure, but until then, Collet-Serra grounds the conspiracy with a proper sense of mystery and mood.. Neeson's comforting intelligence (and a marvelous turn by Bruno Ganz as an ailing former member of the East German secret police), are not enough to prevent the film from choking on obviousness and directorial fumbling.. For about an hour or so, "Unknown" is intriguing.. The cat-and-mouse game that the filmmakers are playing wit...

Limitless (2011) Fullständig Film Streaming

Without much fanfare Neil Burger has emerged as one of the best suspense directors in the business.. The who's-bilking-whom mind games make for compelling fun, but once the presto moment of The Prestige is revealed, you're left with nothing but shattered illusions.. "Limitless" may please a few looking for a shallow fantasy thriller, but won't fire up the synapses of the intellectually demanding.. Unfortunately this "Story" never finds its footing as either a creepy morality play or a performanc...

Hugo Cabret (2011) Ladda Ner Film

If ever the movie gods were to smile on an adaptation, it would be Scorsese's take on Selznick's bestselling book, a valentine to the cinematic artists whose work the filmmaker has toiled so tirelessly to champion and preserve.. Scorsese's film is a richly illustrated lesson in cinema history and the best argument for 3-D since James Cameron's Avatar.. Hugo is a mixed bag but one well worth rummaging through.. As befitting both its fetishistically detailed source material and the era in which it...

Saw III (2006) Ladda Ner Hela

Though they have plenty of lethal weapons at their disposal, the Losers are nowhere near as fun as the '80s action-flick heroes they emulate.. Basically, it's The A-Team meets Rambo meets Mission: Impossible, with a mission that's one part trickiness, four parts blowing stuff up.. Admit it: It's not every horror film that can make you feel preached at and slimed at the same time.. As an action fix to hold you before the summer explosions start, you could do worse than The Losers. It's no more th...

Prisoners (2013) Fullständig Film Streaming

The film you begin watching when the lights dim is not the same one you carry home from the theatre.. Prisoners is weary after ten minutes, and I suppose it has persuaded itself that its length is justified by its solemn gaze into the abyss.. In less talented hands, the story could lapse into the maudlin. But Villeneuve, director of the Oscar-nominated Incendies, seems to know just how far to go; only one moment feels less than authentic, but it would be a spoiler to mention it.. "Prisoners" is ...
