Taken


Former spetsnazovets. Stolen daughter. The classic genre, from which you can sculpt, anything - hosh «Commando» (handy if there is at least one Schwartz), hosh «Day D» (if enough just to Porechenkova). Well, you can still come as a Frenchman, Pierre Morel, and zabatsat movies like «Zalozhnitsy»-small, fast, angry and compelling. Almost like a bullet in the temple.

Morel started as an operator for producers of low-cost factory cast of European action-nails name Luc Besson, and there is also making his debut as director with jaunty «thirteenth quarter». «Neighborhood» was very similar to their brethren on the conveyor a conscious legkovesnostyu bordering vigorous idiocy - in «hostage» of the same quality no longer exists. There, on the contrary, everything is extremely concentrated and even partly schematically - as if when writing the script of the authors (who, incidentally, the Besson) set themselves the task is not to create a single image, a description that could not meet the two words . In an effort to limit brevity creators «Zalozhnitsy» dealt with the case even faster than the traditional half hours - an approach quite so pleasant. Because, well, the truth - which is rassusolivat? Caught up with one prihlopnul second votknul two nail in the leg by a third - and already half.

Of course, astronomically nothing new in this approach is not - but Morel is one serious bargaining chip, which has not been none. At a central role in the film he took etakom not any krutolobogo macho and Layama Nisona, serious and powerful actor, equally capable as a comic, and to the tragic. Krutogo hero ekshena of Nisona to this sort do not tried - but in vain. He was surprisingly appropriate for such a role of the person - seems to be silent and unseen, is a suitable something harmless dvorovomu alcoholic uncle Vase, and at the same time, remarkably stubborn. A person with such a person, perhaps the fear is even greater than the husky Schwarz to log on his shoulder - because this obviously does not back down, not minimize, not drognet, and will steadfastly pursue the enemy, as a small but incredibly tenacious retriever. Nison, actually, just that and plays - soft, but wildly formidable threat, a man with the less glamorous appearance and a steel frame for it. And it works well, that just zaglyadene - and Nison alone vytaskivaet for yourself and all the shortcomings the film, like the hellish tryasuchki camera in motion scenes, or a total naivety world view inherent scriptwriter. He himself as a steel backbone of the whole movie - this is true, put in his place someone else, and would be quite normal checkpoint Shooting. And so - a small, but the monolith.

Max Payne

 «Max Payne» - the same screen popular computer game developed by Finnish company Remedy Entertainment. The game, which uses the style of Noir, which provides a very high degree of cinematic, published in 2001. Sequel game «Max Payne 2» appeared in 2003. The game became very popular among gamers, thanks to play from a third person, and slow time. The effect of «slowing of time» is also used in the movie, but it does not cause the same strong impression in the game.

Dark Knight, The

"Dark Knight" - the best political thriller of 2008, not counting reality. Nolan, with his political statements, with the original mild confusion in the plot lines, with a solid understanding of what is important, with his bad jokes and sudden breakthroughs in pure art - heavy, clumsy, neostanovimy ram to demolish the roof. And "Dark Knight" - a huge stone flying from the mountain, faster and faster, accelerated up to a prohibitive speed, everything sshibayuschy along the way - and to whom interesting little Sisyphus, in costume bats, which runs the wake of stone and something crying ? 

Entropy is not decreasing. She laughs, bormochet, prichmokivaet, burning and plyashet. Entropy does not kill, precisely, did not immediately kill. She takes the knife to the throat pristavlyaet to you and says: "You want to know where I have these scars? One could not enter into negotiations with entropy, but the problem is that you are very, very want to know.

Day the Earth Stood Still, The


Actors:  Kianu Reeves, Jennifer Connelly, Kathy Bates, Jade Smith, John Kliz, Lienn Adachi, Ben Cotton, Aaron Douglas, Lorena Geyl, John Hemm, Serge Ud, Hiro Kanagawa, Dzh.Si. McKenzie, Patrick Sabongi, Andrew Wheeler, Dan Zukovich

Movie Day, when the earth stopped tells the story of a galactic envoy to be sent to Earth to warn the government about the need to stop the pollution of nature, otherwise the planet will be destroyed from the outside as dangerous to the galaxy. However, the envoy take over the aggressor, and he was forced into hiding until the time of translating a simple man.

Transporter 3


After the glossy-glamurnoy Second part in the «carrier» can be safely 

put a cross. Masculinity, style, wit inherent in the first part disappeared as the black «Audi» in turn. The first part has become, almost a new word in the genre, has zabuksovala. As a small child scatter their toys, Luc Besson and company have spread painstakingly collected in the first part of trumps and at the fifth minute "Carrier 2" left with nothing. The remaining hour bored trying the spectator vzbodrit outbreaks of computer flames and spectacular blonde (Amber Valletta). With such a mixed baggage of pleasant memories, sob, delight and lost hope we come to the third part. 

Frank Martin (Jason Stetem) and Commissioner Tarkoni (Francois Berlean) relaxed catch fish, somewhere in the south of France, popivayut wine and Chats on nothing pleasant. Naturally, after a few minutes screen time, idillicheskaya picture is falling apart - directly into the living room of Frank enters a black car. Clearly giving to understand that the desire to go to rest, to put it mildly, prezhdevremenno.Sobstvenno from this time and all the fun begins. It is true that throughout the film carrier will be accompanied by a beautiful Valentine (Natalia Rudakova), which is defined suggests that the trend on the Russian beauty just gaining momentum. Endless chase, shooting and fights alternate with small lyrical digression, is as predictable as pripevy and couplets in pop songs. Dullish whole bit, so that all, sometimes unnecessary, scenes of the movie mention two: pursuit cycling under the "I wanna be your dog and Homeric funny scene in the vehicle Otto (the more good jokes about the Germans I have not heard since the days of« Greater Qush » ). Postanovke tricks you can devote a separate essay, but will limit what I say that after the scene where Stetem beat fifteen guys, incidentally exposing the torso, biceps start to feel even a very subtilnye men. Fanciers dialogues in the style of Martin MakDonaha please talk about Russia and on the Hungarian wine, but to jump to the ceiling, I think, until early: Mr. Martin is still difficult to mention witty and pleasant interlocutor. everything turned out almost as expected. The truth is, very rasstroila attempt to make Frank is not a simple muzhika, to solve their problems And supergeroya, save the world from a global environmental catastrophe. For me is much more fun when the enemy is local, not global scale. Game «Good-Evil» becomes much more interesting and thinner when evil personalized, has some unique features, and did not appear at all the evil world in general. 

It is a pity that the authors «Carrier 3» long meditate on the latest Bond. So long thought of the comparison, I repel as intrusive fly have been so timely and accurate that even surprised. And this is not the classic dressing agent 007, Daniel Craig as Bond. So this is not a game in dogonyalki, which is known who vydohnetsya and otstanet and nespeshnye steps forward. What this may lead, and so perhaps it is simple. Of course hegemony Bond is still beyond any doubt, but it becomes obvious that VISITED Jupiter, too, sometimes ordinary mortals.
