3 Days to Kill (2014)

worst 5 minutes of film ever

[1/10 · 6 November 2014]

the dialogs, interaction, location, credibility of the first 5 minutes of this movie says it all... you are going for one of the worst movies ever

Kevin Costner career lowest point

i don't cant even imagine how Luc Besson associate his name here

all the plot the misenscene, the action, is lame to say the least, and is not credible

i was surprised to see the average review of IMDb's users which is misleading considering the relative high standard the users normally show

movie to avoid clearly

The Hit List (2011)

The first 2 minutes you see what's coming

[1/10 · 16 July 2011]

This is one of the worst films I've ever seen. Full of clichés, non sense plot, implausible story. The acting is poor, not even Cuba Gooding, which is becoming a B film actor worth it, but the entire cast, starting with the main leading role, the detective leading the investigation, is boss (the police captain), they are all so weak in acting that you better save your time.

Save your time and don't even bother to see the movie. This is the lowest rate I ever gave to a movie, not because is the worst but because the expectations you have when you see the marketing and the leading name are reasonable and you should be entitled to a decent amount of good entertainment. It's not!

The Secret in Their Eyes (2009)

A powerful story with great acting and great directing. A must see.

[9/10 · 26 August 2010]

This was a revealing and fascinating movie. I would never believe this was so good. There is nothing I would change in this movie: the cast is perfect, they are absolutely brilliant on their roles, the dialogues and the intricate bureaucratic world of the courts and laws in a Latin Country is so real and honest. The history is as well fascinating and the way its reveal to us in the perfect timing. The characterization of the young and old leading actors is impressive, so simple but so brutal and well done. Ricard Darin is brilliant the director Juan José Campanella is a director to keep a close look This was one of the best movies I saw recently, even the small funny moments, which are not many, but they can be brilliant and so funny (the judge Fortuna Lacalle revealing he knows that Esposito was in that town looking for Gomez). This is a must see movie that confirms that the power of good acting, good directing and a good story with rich dialogues can overcome any multimillion dollar blockbuster made in Hollywood.

The Young Victoria (2009)

England and history deserves better !

[6/10 · 8 August 2010]

This is a movie that deserves a better direction, specially a much better art direction. The history of the Queen Victoria is fascinating and deserves a better director and better casting. The role of King Leopold from Belgium was given to Thomas Kretschmann. Could this be given to a worst actor ?! Hard to believe how someone can be so least convincing. Some great actors nonetheless (Jim Broadbent, Mark Strong) save the movie and make it worth while but still, this important period of England and Europe history deserves a much better casting and directing. Stil a movie to see, maybe on DVD at home instead on a theather !
