Irréversible (2002) Fullständig Film Streaming

The reverse chronology makes Irreversible a film that structurally argues against rape and violence, while ordinary chronology would lead us down a seductive narrative path toward a shocking, exploitative payoff.. I hope people who go to see this don't walk out in the first ten minutes or after that scene, because I think you have to experience the entire film. And then you can decide whether or not you're offended by it.. The film conceals as much as it reveals, and its beauty is that it preten...

The Raven (2012) Spela Strömmande

Never commits to the kind of full-bore lunacy that might have made the film a campy pleasure.. Basically a well-researched but formulaic mystery centered on one of those nyah-nyah serial killers we've seen a thousand times.. Director James McTeigue has no feel for humor or terror, making what could have been a witty pastiche into another cheesy slice-and-dice horror flick.. It's neither grand nor grisly enough to seriously satisfy Poe-ish cravings for murder, mystery and literary allusions.. Edg...

The Boy Next Door (2015) Titta Hela Filmen

I haven't seen a bigger mess in wide release since Dana Carvey's career-terminating The Master of Disguise.. It's badly directed, poorly edited, and features some of the most unconvincing acting this side of a soup commercial.. There are many grades of terrible in Hollywood, and this is pretty nearly the worst.. This isn't a very demanding role for Lopez, but she still fails to carry it off. In fact, nothing about this film is convincing. It all feels notably artificial.. The cheese is thick and...

Secret Window (2004) Fullständig Strömning

Despite Koepp's control of suspense and Depp's fully fleshed, if fragmented, hero, this Window ultimately feels like one most of us have climbed through before.. [Depp] turns Secret Window into a pleasantly show-offy showcase for his own charisma.. Bong not only has an eye for beauty there are some gorgeous shots of the country's farmland but for the absurd.. What's most remarkable about it is the way Bong builds real suspense and plays the chilling moments straight while leaving himself room fo...

Winter's Tale (2014) Titta På Strömmande

How do you adapt "Winter's Tale," Mark Helprin's epic 1983 magical-realist novel, into a movie? If you're writer-director Akiva Goldsman, you take a meat tenderizer and hammer away until all that's left is romantic-fantasy mush.. Howard seems to count on audience goodwill toward Hanks carrying over to Langdon, filling in the hero's many blanks.. [T]he film does not conclude with Langdon being elected Pope himself, but, watching the spiraling inanities of the last 20 minutes, one might be forgive...

A Walk Among the Tombstones (2014) Fullständig Strömning

If this is your kind of movie, it's hard to find one better made.. With the combo of Neeson's natural solemnity and his action chops, "Tombstones" treads compellingly amongst lesser thrillers.. You expect a thriller from a movie like this, but the further into the case Scudder trudges, the more soundly and unexpectedly Tombstones is able to hit the sweet spot of any good suspense film: the pit of your stomach.. As a throwback to a type of nasty, ugly crime film of yesteryear, A Walk Among the To...

The Cabin in the Woods (2012) Ladda Ner Hela

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince isn't great family entertainment -- it's great entertainment, period, a blockbuster with true heart and real humanity alongside the high-stakes struggles and brilliant effects.. Though there are plot holes in the elaborately concocted scenarios, The Cabin in the Woods gets points for the twists and turns that come along with its sly wickedness.. A movie that combines a lot of different films, yet somehow remains less than the sum of its parts .... All in al...
