Dwelling on my watchlist for quite a while, I gave it a go having some time to kill.
Now, I wasn't expecting much, imagine my surprise...
"The Cleanse" had way more depth than I anticipated. A simple concept about a group of people wanting to detox from the repressed pain and stress in their lives, but with an original and clever twist.
And even the acting was pretty decent with bigger names like Oliver Platt and Anjelica Huston amongst the…
After watching Chloe Okuno's "Slut" it was an obvious anticipation for "Watcher".
A slow paced, voyeur-esque psychological drama mostly set in a beautiful Romanian apartment.
And I'm not the biggest fan of slow-burns, but if it is as beautiful as this movie...no problemo.
Ofcourse it helped having one of my favorite (and highly underrated) actresses in it, and Maika Monroe killed it.
It's just so simple, assemble a crew, get a briefcase, tentions run high, can't trust this one, can't trust that one, bang, bang, car chase, boom!
You gotta love it, I did, and I still do after all this time.
Brilliant cast, I mean, you got Reno, De Niro, Jonathan Pryce, Natascha McElhone, Sean Bean and Stellan Skarsgard...what more do you want?
It's straight to the point here. No fancy special effects or color corrections, just good choreography and stuntwork.
I've said it back then, and I'll say it again, "Ronin" has the best car chases, period.
A Vikingage tale of revenge seasoned like only Eggers could.
Not a blatant copy of the story of old and not quite the same as Saxo Grammaticus's interpretation. "The Northman" weaves bits and pieces of history and legend together, with a royal portion of poetic edda, to make it's own fascinating, brutal yet beautiful interpretation.
I was pleasantly surprised by Ethan Hawke, less so by Kidman's performance, but the towering Skarsgard and delightful Anya were, not to my surprise, terrific.…
