The Gallows (2015) Spille Streaming

Rob Cohen, who last directed The Skulls -- ouch! -- can consider this one another career-killing skid mark.. Yes, the whole thing is pretty dumb, and every character and every situation is familiar from better movies.. The Gallows has a cleverness that bobs, occasionally, above the surface of cesspool murk. You can't tell whether it's just flotsam or a corpse, but for most of the 80-minute run time it almost doesn't matter. It's at least something.. A cautionary note: If your horror film is abou...

Srpski film (2010) Download Film

A sordid welter of sexual sadism, incestuous necrophilia and 'snuff movie' nihilism.. In its histrionic dream logic, the movie says as much about Eastern Europe as Twilight does about the Pacific Northwest. Frankly, you'd be better off self-abusing.. . "A Serbian Film" revels in its sheer inventive awfulness and dares the viewer to find a more serious layer of meaning.. That the film exists at all is a more cogent commentary on the nation's collective trauma than any of the direct statements or ...

The Gift (2015) Fuld Film Streaming

Like professional conjurers, writer-directors Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala are masters of diversion.. The Gift starts out like so many other thrillers before it - with an attractive, well-to-do couple purchasing a big new house - and then beats its own, uniquely tense and twisted path from there.. A satisfying directorial debut from writer, producer and actor Joel Edgerton.. [An] expertly crafted exercise in guilt, ambiguity and revenge.. There's enough here for several films, yet somehow it...

Daredevil (2003) Spille Film

Convincing in the physical demands of the role, Affleck persuades us of the pain of sightlessness and supersensitive hearing, although writer/director Johnson's scrappy construction fails him and everyone else as the showdown approaches.. Blending suspense, humor, period detail, interesting characters and bringing together a complex plot in an immensely satisfying way, [director Roger] Donaldson really pulled one off this time.. Las Vegas steals the show, even though it's played by New Orleans.....

The Italian Job (2003) Se Streaming

Take this Job and floor it.. Absolutely one of the greatest, most cringe-worthy movies I've ever seen.. A pandering, debased, generic little nothing of a movie. And I'm still trying to figure out why I loved it so inordinately.. . This unglamorous approach has the odd effect of making them seem more glamorous -- we're free to soak up their star quality because there's no hard sell to fight off.. Considering how creatively bankrupt and stylistically profligate this second installment of the franc...

Maze Runner 2: Infernoet (2015) Spille Streaming

[Villeneuve] hasn't forgotten that he's making a thriller, and he's made one that's both nerve-shatteringly suspenseful and, thanks to noted cinematographer Roger Deakins, gorgeous to watch.. Director Wes Ball's film is a mad dash from one place to the next, with little time in between for rest, recuperation or plot development.. Far from being just another crime story, "Sicario" is cinema at its most ambitious.. This is one of the best movies of the year.. Sicario is a remarkable, thrilling, in...

Source Code (2011) Online Streaming

If you know your muscle cars and supercars and don't care too much about other people, the movie will be your bottle of Yahoo, so pardon the rest of us if we look on these self-absorbed camshaft brats and wish them a speedy flat tire.. This is cinema reduced or distilled to its purest definition, of movies that move. "Need for Speed" is dumb and loud and sometimes technically impressive, which means that it is successful on its own terms.. Though later sequences lean a little too heavily on cont...

The Captive (2014) Fuld Streaming

Do not go to this movie if you simply seek entertainment. If you're a sociologist tracking the decline of civilization over the past four decades, you're in for a night of solid research.. I suspect the movie's sound designers deserve some kind of an award: thanks to them, the damage one can inflict with small appliances and a giant grudge is all too clear.. Dennis Iliadis's remake retains its ferocious power and provocative themes, and thanks to a focused script that unfolds in real time, it ra...

Trash (2014) Download Fuld

A shockingly mundane disappointment taken on its own and a deeply misguided refraction of the original.. In the end, like virtually every other remake that has been released recently, it's polished and predictable.. Forget about three years at Rada - these boys are the real deal.. A diverting two hours, and an excellent reminder of the wide world of stories out there waiting to be told.. Do not go to this movie if you simply seek entertainment. If you're a sociologist tracking the decline of civ...

Prisoners (2013) Spille Streaming

If you are an "X" maniac, Singer's given you the movie you've been hoping for.. The results are both dazzling and intimate, clever and - during one tour-de-force sequence - spectacularly funny.. The filmmakers doesn't sweat the fact that Eddie is a chemically enhanced fraud. What scares them is any possibility of alienating the movie's target audience with a downer ending.. A film that seems headed toward one conclusion, then veers toward another over 2/₂ of the fastest-moving hours I've s...

Olympus Has Fallen (2013) Se Fuld Film

While Gerard Butler is no Bruce Willis, his Mike Banning is a better facsimile of John McClane than the guy Willis is pretending to play these days.. A big chomping horror delight, Dawn of the Dead reworks director George Romero's zombie classic with gobs of blood, buckets of black humor and enough cocky style to induce giggles between shivers.. Fuqua doesn't deliver on what he has set up.. It's silly, witty and good-natured, not scary so much as icky, and not horrifying or horrible but consiste...

I Spit on Your Grave (2010) Download Fuld

The excellent performances by the cast are also what raise this movie well above your ordinary action movie.. Absolutely one of the greatest, most cringe-worthy movies I've ever seen.. Not surprisingly, the remake gussies up the grindhouse roughness of the first film, which makes it relatively more palatable -- yet still vapid and repulsive -- while also, in a perverse way, selling it out.. For a variety of reasons, most having to do with a weak screenplay and poor pacing, The Expendables 3 is t...

Smokin' Aces (2007) Online Streaming

The film conceals as much as it reveals, and its beauty is that it pretends to do nothing else. It embraces a mystery and protects it, and it’s thrilling to behold.. Awesome as director this is the first time that they have been together again Since training day powerful movie go see it!!!. Did Carnahan think these sickening scenes would give Smokin' Aces a moral complexity that's generally absent from this genre? I think they make the picture seem even more morally bankrupt.. Music perfectly f...

I really like this movie. thank you. A movie can have a superb story, amazing cinematography, and mesmerizing writing as well as directing, but without the talent to deliver it all, it finds itself lacking. Great!!. Absolutely one of the greatest, most cringe-worthy movies I've ever seen.. This movie is an epic action movie that I believe in a few years from now shall be more appreciated than it is today !!.

The Equalizer (2014) Online Streaming

If The Equalizer is the hit it should be, it will give this veteran action star his very first movie franchise.. Fuqua infuses The Equalizer with a low-key energy and is in no hurry to rush into things.. Nothing in Sinister 2 comes across as believably scary.. This is a kid's fantasy of how to be bigger and badder than anybody else. As for Washington, no doubt he now has his very own franchise.. Despite Mr. Ransone's goofy charm, "Sinister 2" can't claim the same finesse, substituting pedestrian...

Irréversible (2002) Se Streaming

There's less to Irreversible than meets even the most unblinking of eyes.. Is there a point to this spew, a cry against the mongrel violence of men? Or is Noe merely a sadist who enjoys inflicting ugly, pitiless images on his audience?. Fails because of its gratuitous rape and violence and also because of its pretentious and intellectually one-dimensional grounds, which make the violence at the end feel even worse.. . . An integrated work whose form clearly mirrors its content.. Excruciating exe...

American Heist (2015) Online Streaming

The film seems an hour longer than it is, with too many scenes that go nowhere.. It's not so much a bad film as it is a disappointing one. A very disappointing one.. Pettyfer - a child actor turned model turned self-satisfied hunk - isn't much except blond hair and good cheekbones as our hero.. Everyone's speech is awash in gaudy psycho-blather and Yoda-like observations.. Mr. Scott's seriousness isn't always well served by the scripts he films, but in Mr. McCarthy he has found a partner with co...

The Bourne Supremacy - Bourneduellen (2004) Fuld Streaming

Director William Eubank seems more concerned with building to an epic, superpowered ending rather than anything making a lick of sense. In the spirit of the characters and audience, though, it feels right.. As a video game that propels the viewer through the course, Supremacy is supremely successful. I'm not sure that's enough for a movie narrative.. A gargantuanly entertaining double feature.. Signal thinks big, takes chances and has enough arresting scenes to stand apart from the science ficti...

Inside Man (2006) Se Streaming

The acting is sometimes shockingly bad, but generally the script doesn't ask much of the actors, and the combat is effectively staged and often thrilling.. Some sequels suggest that no one involved with a franchise really cares anymore.. If they ran these scenes at normal speed, would 95 dreary minutes become a much more expedient 20 to 25?. Even past the midway point, it's all working -- it's taut, it's funny, it's trenchant, it's stylish. And then it isn't.. Unexpectedly funny, leisurely paced...

Fast & Furious 5 (2011) Online Streaming

The Beach, designed to provoke audiences, stops for too many Hollywood moments to get the job done.. The whole thing progresses to one of the looniest heists of all time. The result is the most exciting, visually jazzy, and absurd entry in the series.. That force of chaotic and unsatisfiable desire that Freud called the id is much closer to the surface in a movie like "Fast Five" than ever before in action-cinema history, and part of Lin's peculiar genius is that he barely tries to conceal it.. ...
