Review: Acclaimed Canadian filmmaker Atom Egoyans The Captive (2014) is a strange mess that leaves one high and dry and utterly frustrated. It shows promise to begin with but ultimately gets lost in the vacuum created by Egoyans over-ambitious, almost ludicrous storytelling and below par execution - a clear case of a gifted filmmaker undone by his own lack of judgment, clarity, and poor selection. In fact, the best way to describe The Captive would be as a futile exercise in wishful filmmaking.What hurts most is that the movies plot in itself is quite plausible. It revolves around a young girl who is abducted by a pedophile, with the police and parents trying their best to locate her but with little luck. The theme harks back to Sean Penns The Pledge but the maturity in execution that Penns film had is clearly missing here. Barring some decent acting thats on display, courtesy of Ryan Reynolds, Rosario Dawson (smoking hot as ever) and the rest of the cast, the movie has nothing much to offer except for loads of drivel and foolish fancies spun by a motley of muddle headed individuals, seemingly carried away by the burden of their own genius.For more, please visit my film blogsite:http://www.apotpourriofvestiges.com/ |

Review: I saw this film in Amsterdam at a sneak preview, quite late, and it was incredibly hot. In the beginning I thought: Ouch! Another brainy French film... But no! I havent seen such an original film in a quite while. Not only in its most amazing parts (a sparrow hovering above an airport, sometimes funny, sometimes scary; a real adventure in itself). But it is more in its entirety that this film impressed me, going from one story to another, combining realism and magic. Even the music is bewitching, like with Bowies Space Oddity, at a key moment. This non-standard film is both spectacular and experimental, sensitive and cerebral, ultra-contemporary and timeless. Free as air, this films is about mutation, reincarnation, rebirth. A real jewel! |

Review: My opinion might be a little biased cause Im a huge fan of the Dystopian and Ethiopian genre. But this movie definitely exceeded my expectations. It definitely trumps divergent by far, might even be on par with the hunger games. This movie was non stop action, and mystery. It definitely succeeded in keeping me on edge wondering what was going to happen next. If youre contemplating whether or not you should watch it, do yourself a favour and watch it, believe me you will not regret it! I cannot wait until the sequel comes out! Great stuff! Well thats about it for what I have to say, youve gotta watch the movie to really understand the good things about it. The movie Is good. |
