Vanguard (2020)

Why Jackie, why?

[3/10 · 5 December 2020]

If you expect to see a movie in the style of those in which Jackie Chan is casual, and also a good fighter and acrobat, and the movie is engaging and funny, you are wrong. The positive characters are exaggeratedly devoted to the employing company, Vanguard, being such an exemplary discipline and obsessed with fulfilling their mission at all costs, like soldiers in the Chinese army. They are, at the same time, like a family whose guiding parent is Jackie Chan, thus becoming unbelievable and downright annoying. Many of the fight and action scenes curl up the absurd. The scenes that were supposed to have an emotional charge are so misinterpreted that they have become hilarious. And with the technique presented, it was exaggerated, being more than phantasmagoric. I didn't expect Jackie Chan to agree to star in such a poor quality film, although I'm convinced it wasn't a low-budget one, but he's not the only one doing it. I couldn't give the movie more than 3 stars.

Possessor (2020)

Too much blood

[4/10 · 5 December 2020]

The subject of the film is interesting, a web brain implant through which one can control the will of one person remotely through another, in a not very noble purpose, that of carrying out assassinations to order. The way it is staged, the annoying background music, the explicit murder scenes with far too much blood, make the film difficult to teach even for the horror genre. I do not recommend it.

Yesterday (III) (2019)

Remembering The Beatles

[7/10 · 31 October 2019]

Following a global power outage that lasted 12 seconds, the world remains without many things of notoriety, of which nobody remembers anything. About The Beatles, only three people can remember , of which only one can interpret their famous songs that can bring him the fame, Jack Malick (Himesh Patel).

Swiss Army Man (2016)

A psychological film, niche, which is aimed as much fans of the genre.

[5/10 · 12 September 2017]

Hank, played by Paul Dano masterly again, is a young man with severe mental problems, but that he is not aware. At one point, he hits the road in search of his house, with Manny's body, played extraordinarily towards Danile Radcliffe, a journey whose end is totally unexpected for Hank.The two characters, that form an intrinsic link between, parts in the events which almost borders on the absurd, sending us think of "noir" genre. A psychological film, niche, which is aimed as much fans of the genre.
