Le salaire de la peur (2024)
Not in the slightest a remake of Wages of Fear.
I do not like to right down this review and critisize the film as the staff did what they could do to get the film done - but the script is a mess.
Remember Yves Montand, Bruno Cremer and the other great actors, screnery and scripting. Figures, drama, emotion and tension all the way through the film.
This film does not achieve that at all.
One is waiting for the developement of the story and waits and waits.
I have the former two films in mind and still wait for the tension to raise, but It does not happen.
Attempted and constructed, sometimes absurd situations take away the fun and interest from continuing to watch.
Oustanding I find acting of Alban Lenoir, though.
Operation Seawolf (2022)
Good acting of Dulph Lundgren
A film one does not have to have seen.
But there are much much worse movies.
You read Frank Grillo and Dolph Lundgren and think, hey both are athletes - but physics fall short in this movie.
Despite Dolph Lundgren, he shows his body and spoiler -- his arse ---.
It is amazing to watch those famous actors getting old and getting better the older they get.
I don't know whether the story or the intention of attacking New York with a V1 is based on true events.
There are a lot of details, signs, clothing, beahvior, papers, original radio transmissions, that are original or come close to the original.
Story is not that bad.
Cgi ist not that bad, it is quite good.
Most impressive and convincing is the acting of Dolph Lundgren, he has some really good, quiet and well played scenes with time to devolop to my taste.
He is an elder man now, still with well shaped triceps but acting is dominant.
I doubt that he has to do films anymore but his perfomance is not bad.
Frank Grillo did that job in an afternoon I guess and could easily be replaced.
No Sudden Move (2021)
A masterpiece of film art
Exciting and entertaining from the first minute with some clever twists.
A film made through first class film craftsmanship and acting. Top notch camera, great editing, great lighting, eclectic soundtrack. Location and interior at its finest.
I've never seen so many cars from the 50's.
And the best comes last.
I don't know why some devalue the film and what a filmmaker or actors still have to deliver in order for the work to be recognized.
For me, this is not the standard, but a film that sets standards and by which others have to be measured.
The screenplay may have small weaknesses, but that's whining on a high level.
Any movie enthusiast will love him.
Munich: The Edge of War (2021)
This morning I had another talk with the German Chancellor, Herr Hitler.
Jeremy Irons hit the pitch and speaking speed of that famous qoute almost exactly.
I hope that he will receive some awards for his acting.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Till that sentence a lot has happend in the movie which I find is a really good movie.
Setting, decoration, costumes are excellent.
There are presented a lot of historical qoutes and scenes.
Acting of the whole cast is superb.
Nice cut, no rushing.
Filmed at some still existing original locations for excample in munich.
To me the main plot/story is secondary.
It is the game Chamberlain has to play what this film is about.
Pearl Harbor (2001)
I love that film
I watched it several times and most of all I love that love story, the setting and the atmosphere. As it is said in the trivia to the film here on IMDb Michael Bay received hundreds of letters of elder people who expressed that he got it right at what it was like at those times. And that is what I felt when I watched the movie for the first time. I really do not understand how some critics did not notice and did not respect and acknowledge that Michael Bay and his crew were able to bring us back to the early forties during war times. The behavior of the people, the clothes, the music, the band, the dressing, the make up of the women and the innocence of the (well, some) girls and boys looking for love are so impressive. I love the dialogs and the acting. The other main part of the film - what happened before, during and after the attack - is also very well shown, to my opinion. I love the talks of Alec Baldwin as Dollittle with the two main characters and the acting of Baldwin as well of Jon Voight as Roosevelt or Dan Arkroyd as intelligence officer. Michael Bay got it right. He focused on the main occurrences of the Pearl Harbour attacks and set them up quite well.
There are a lot of lines and short sequences in the movie that are worth of watching.
