Maryland (2015)
A French language "Man on fire"
11 January 2017
I found the movie a mixture of "Man on fire" and "Harsh Times" plus a bit of "Jacob's Ladder" For sure is worth watching if you enjoyed the titles named above. And the acting of Matthias Schoenaerts is good, giving his character the right doses of violence, kindness and madness you would expect in somebody suffering from war related psychical injuries. You find also in the movie quite a realistic depiction of how close protection work is getting done in Europe, from the way they operate to the way the recruiting is done. I have watched Matthias Schoenaerts playing as well in "The Drop", he did a good part but the role was small and didn't give him to much of a chance. He has a disposition for bringing to life characters filed with repressed rage and expect to see him mostly in R rated movies and maybe some movies with religious themes.

Enjoy it
