The Losers (2010) Spela Film

An aptly titled, grossly overdone big-screen adaptation of a DC Comics publication, it is, as though we needed it, another symptom of where we're going cinematically, and a movie that takes bilious joy in its own soullessness.. The Losers is simply a lot of low blows, telegraphed each and every time.. 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.. . Movies aren't loaded weapons, though sometimes, they...

The Words (2012) Fullständig Film Streaming

This film's layered storytelling lacks the fluidity, grace, or good humour, to pull off its conceit.. It's somewhat better put together than Saw II or III, though there isn't a scare in it.. A throwback to trim, intelligent moral thrillers like The Verdict and Absence of Malice.. . This is unequivocally a thriller for adults. Easily the worst and most pointless episode of the gore-saturated quadrology.. "The Words" is a decent, ambitious, unoriginal film about a decent, ambitious, unoriginal wri...

Max Payne (2008) Spela Film

Max Payne is a junkyard dog of a film that is true to its video-game roots even as it transcends them.. The filmmakers aim their cynicism more at us than at any government or drug company.. Honestly, you find yourself rooting against Payne's survival, even with a good actor in the hollow role. There's nothing inside the film's sour, slovenly spirit of vengeance.. The movie is a series of glum interrogation scenes that lead nowhere special, with a not-quite-sci-fi urban murkiness that makes it lo...

The Double (2011) Spela Film

It's simply not very good.. The twist in The Double slack mystery-thriller is revealed with a shrug about a third of the way in. After that, it's all about Gere looking grim, and Grace looking stricken as he learns what we already know.. There's a sanded-off, textbook creativity to "The Double" that forsakes rich cloak-and-dagger textures for generic twists, hackneyed flashbacks and telegraphed moments of peril.. If these characters ever had a motivation for their extreme behavior, it disappeare...

The Overnight (2015) Ladda Ner Film

While size may not matter (the movie runs a short 79 minutes), it's not even relevant to something this flaccid.. Attitudes are adjusted along with clothing, with all four main actors happily delivering more than Brice's uneven script and sitcomish directing asks of them.. The film's brevity makes it easily digestible but there's an underlying sense of frustration - dissatisfaction that the characters aren't fleshed out better and the humor isn't more organic.. The result is a bit twisty, largel...

Scooby-Doo (2002) Ladda Ner Film

As this movie knows what it is, Scooby-Doo's a relatively painless 85 minutes.. Although Scooby-Doo falls far short of becoming the Blazing Saddles of Generations X, Y and Z, it is hard to resist in its moronic charms.. Lillard gives the flick its manic energy, and the rest of the gang holds its own.. It's like an amalgam of Ghostbusters, Alien and the Pokemon movies -- minus all the good parts.. The source material here is flimsy to begin with, and neither Gunn nor Gosnell seems to know how to ...

Blindness (2008) Titta På Strömmande

Absolutely one of the greatest, most cringe-worthy movies I've ever seen.. Set in a nameless English-speaking city where people are suddenly stricken with sightlessness, it's an allegory that never rises to the level of believability.. Music perfectly fits with the movie, the story can't tear myself away from the screen for hours. Really GREAT movie!!. A movie can have a superb story, amazing cinematography, and mesmerizing writing as well as directing, but without the talent to deliver it all, ...
