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.
