Drive (2011) review - trailer

Occasionally a film comes out that makes you sit there and wonder, "What I just saw?" Most of the time this problem is unlikely to respond to a supervisor. In the drive, it seems to be exactly what Nicolas Winding Refn want you to ask. 

The first scene shows the driver (Ryan Gosling), giving their only rule of Wheelman, while passengers back to the car in five minutes, he will do anything to escape. Had it not time, however, he left. He then proceeds to put this statement into action as two thieves escape with police. We see a combination of a high-speed chase and a stealth action thriller as police search for the car while the driver narrowly escapes them at every turn. One of the most tense scenes in a movie to date and effectively sets the tone for the rest of the film. Over the next 95 minutes, it will be uncomfortable and on the edge of your seat - but make sure you sit through it and never turn your head.

After returning, we met near the driver, Irene (Carey Mulligan). Her husband is in prison, and she takes care of their son alone. The relationship is between the driver and Irene is sweet, almost innocent, but intensely uncomfortable to watch. You know it's wrong, but want to root for the couple anyway.

The Lincoln Lawyer (2011) review - trailer

Matthew McConaughey plays a slick Los Angeles criminal defense attorney in the film adaptation of Michael Connelly legal thriller The Lincoln Lawyer. The public is likely to have a clear recollection of the star as a lawyer sweating Mississippi 15 years ago in the film adaptation of John Grisham legal thriller, A Time to Kill. These customers will be pleased to know that the man still looks great support in court, still offers his lines with an accent of the variable, with barbeque for dinner. This time, McConaughey is Mick Haller, who is familiar to fans of detective fiction bestseller Connelly's half-brother of the LAPD Harry Bosch. Haller beaten unorthodox: Sa''bureau''est the backseat of his chauffeur Lincoln Continental, and customers tend to be colored on the underside of the bridge type of character that actors love.

Fast Five (2011) review - trailer

Ten years and a number of innings later, "Fast Five" is the first result of 2001 "The Fast and the Furious," which is worth seeing, not an embarrassment or a parody of the original image.

Director Justin Lin, who directed the previous two sequels, is not that director Rob Cohen ("The Fast and the Furious") is, and still do not really know what to do with Vin Diesel. This is an action star in the mythic dimension, an actor who can take an audience anywhere, and half the time allowing Lin looks like any other good, middle-aged, bald.

But at least this time, We are looking for things. He found, for example, that it is always wise to give the last word on diesel fuel each scene to shoot him in the foreground, the soundtrack is a lot of support, even if his line is something like "We need to get fresh air." It does not matter. Diesel growling and words suggestive of his bass voice, what he says seems to me particularly important.

Review : Green Lantern (2011)

"Green Lantern" is both on the wall and out of this world - literally. More space opera sci-fi epic hero, it works in fits and starts, as its various parts in and out of efficiency, but professionalism in the production, it is watchable in a sort of cartoon of the way .

Wacky premise of the film comes from the resumption of the 1959 book on the book that launched the idea of ​​a huge legion of intergalactic powerful green lanterns, each with his lantern very clean - the lava lamp of high quality - and each one be the protector of a corner of the universe.

But if the lights and matching rings powerful have existed for millions of years, a member of the human race has never been elected to join the body. And when the test pilot Hal champion "Call Me Irresponsible" Jordan gets the green light, there are many scratches head both on Earth and elsewhere.

Blitz (2011) review

The omens are not good. A Starr Jason Statham Blitz right do not expect another of his full of explosives, the concept down, punch-up flicks interrupted by a gross story from the man himself. But these expectations are confused by the real device - a film that veers between crime exciting and fun with narrative echoes of the cracker and top television series of tonal nuances jaded one-liners that kept up to Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.

Complete the rude behavior Statham places, and so far, too little comic timing and un-PC Detective Brant in this adaptation of Ken Bruen's novel is. First I meet him in the opening scene, born of his booze soaked win a bunch of wannabe theft. Brant guarded by a muscular character will soon be vacated at the COP-killer, played with superb animal strength Aidan Gillen, who copied it, "Blitz", and the tips dodgy tabloid trick Dunlop Harold (David Morrissey) of its intentions. Brant initially uneasy union of gay police chief Porter Nash - plays an understated but impressive Paddy Considine - to continue the murderess before it can cause more damage to the force. A rare film actor Mark Rylance alternately hailed as a leader Brant, mourning is the icing on the cake.
