Poliakoff has made his most recent step up to feature film one of the most dramatic, harrowing tales of the year. It is a shame then that what makes this film most enjoyable is also what dampens its brilliance.
The best thing that can be said about Butler’s performance is that he is as painfully bad as he has always been, so top marks for consistency.
You would expect a film about passionate, dangerous, thwarted love to feel ecstatic and urgent; this felt more like a gentle Valium downer. After the emotional thrills of Twilight, New Moon feels more than a little underwhelming.
Although the genre may already be littered with mockney capers and Danny Dyer b-movies, this new British inner city crime film from first-time director Daniel Barber is a superior offering – albeit a gritty and bleak one.
Shutter Island is a faithful, detailed movie not set in 1954, but of 1954. Scorsese is fully flexing his cinephilic chops.
Whereas the original, Nathalie…, is virtually devoid of any tension and anticipation, Chloe is a Hitchcock thriller for the 21st century.
If you haven’t quite got the message from Hollywood yet, folks, it’s this: Wake up and smell the diner coffee now, or post-apocalyptic doom awaits us all.
Public Enemies, the latest offering from Michael Mann, pairs Hollywood stalwarts Johnny Depp and Christian Bale as men at opposing ends of the legal spectrum in a true-life Depression-era tale.
Christian is on a mission to discover the truth behind his daughter’s mysterious decease and attempts to unearth clues as to what happened during her final hours.
Unable to coherently vocalise his inner thoughts, or successfully communicate with any other humans, Krister resorts to wild outbursts of frantic, flailing violence.
