Self/less (2015) Se Fuld Film

What starts out as an interesting exploration of identity soon gives way to the uninspired, generic action flick we had feared it always was.. Self/less never really gets over the fact that much of it consists of a bland-ish, raincoat-clad everyman driving around and pointing guns at people before the inevitable, underwhelming confrontation with the big bad.. Any hope Reynolds had of reviving his stardom with Self/less is as fruitless as thinking a person can swap bodies without consequence.. Th...

Insomnia (2002) Online Streaming

Nolan uses visual pyrotechnics to pump up the tension and add to Pacino's sense of disorientation, but the feeling he evokes isn't as forlorn, creepy, or ambiguous as in the original (though the mountain wilderness is just as forbidding).. This remake gets all there is to get out of a peculiar premise with promise: Al Pacino loathing Robin Williams.. You see Robin Williams and psycho killer, and you think, hmmmmm. You see the movie and you think, zzzzzzzzz.. Insomnia is not so much about the mur...

Orphan (2009) Fuld Streaming

The scares are often the generic, push-off-the-slide variety and Orphan doesn't add much to the genre except, disturbingly, a fetishistic bent that's creepy in the wrong way.. Painfully predictable.. It would be harder to find a more dark and joyless thriller on the market than this one.. So sloppy, so lowdown, so shameless and so entertaining, Orphan provides everything you might expect in a psycho-child thriller, but with such excess and exuberance that it still has the power to surprise.. Clo...

The Bourne Ultimatum (2007) Spille Streaming

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie look like they had a terrific time making Mr. and Mrs. Smith -- but I certainly didn't have a good time watching it. Neither, I suspect, will many of you.. Bourne -- or whatever his name really is -- is such a resourceful and reckless agent of chaos, we thrill to him despite the fact that he's officially a non-entity.. While Ultimatum may be the lesser of the three Jason Bourne movies, it is only so because the bar set by its predecessors was so uncommonly high.. Not...

Super 8 (2011) Download Film

Has moments of greatness, but the ending is a slight disappointment.. Hobbled by a laughably bad script and a uniformly uncharismatic cast.. Spielberg and Abrams are the unwitting targets of their own irony.. The more ludicrous a concept, the more crucial it is that the director embrace the bigger-than-life absurdity. But everything about this project feels small-time.. A big, dumb movie, another Hollywood entertainment that, instead of tweaking and teasing our brains for fun, leaves us feeling ...

Enemy (2013) Fuld Streaming

This is Empire Strikes Back stuff. It has that second Star Wars movie's kick of confidence.. The story's dour flatness keeps it from being as disturbing as it aims to be.. Not just dark but dank, Denis Villeneuve's "Enemy" is a surpassingly creepy film about identity.. An improvement in almost every way from its pretty decent predecessor.. Movies about doubles are, almost by definition, creepy, but Villeneuve, not to be outdone, piles on the weirdness.. None of it would work -- not the action, t...

Riddick (2013) Se Fuld Film

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.. The movie jogs along nicely without ever getting a case of the stupids; far from being a bloated "John Carter," it's just a pared-down yarn of survival: "Die Hard" on a planet.. Twohy is trying to do something with his original character. It's just not clear what that something is anymore. Maybe it's time this franchise fades to bl...

The Place Beyond the Pines (2013) Fuld Streaming

With the arrival of The Place Beyond the Pines, the American dramatic film has found a loyal, gifted advocate in director Derek Cianfrance.. After its promising opening, I Am Legend devolves into a generic zombie slaughterfest, highly reminiscent of Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later and its sequel 28 Weeks Later.. The filmmakers don't try to jazz up the proceedings with a lot of then-and-now equivalencies. At the same time, it is implicit here that spy operations today are essentially the same, with o...

Shutter Island (2010) Se Streaming

It comes on strong, but in its bloody heart of hearts it's no more resonant than one of those old Vincent Price-Edgar Allan Poe contraptions - and less entertaining, too.. Martin Scorsese's elephantine exercise in B-movie badness.. Sorry, but the late reward hardly justifies all that punishment.. This is among Scorsese's many gifts: Even when he's not crafting a masterpiece, he reminds you that the movies possess visceral and uncanny powers.. If Martin Scorsese weren't aware of himself as a grea...

Mænd der hader kvinder (2011) Spille Streaming

A cold, rough look at the dissolution of just about everything. It will bother you afterward. It should.. The climactic one-two punch of special-effects chaos and meta-movie chin stroking should have the fanboys trembling with delight.. If it's true that you always kill the thing you love, then horror honchos Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard have taken an ax to slasher cinema in The Cabin in the Woods and chopped it up for kindling.. Cabin is a meta-horror-comedy mash-up that, at least for two-third...

The Island (2005) Download Fuld

Theaters showing Michael Bay's futuristic thriller The Island won't be offering any money-back guarantees. They just need to be sure they have enough popcorn on hand.. The Island seems like the movie Michael Bay was born to make.. Bold, beautiful, sometimes confounding flight of futuristic speculation firmly rooted in the potential of today's technology.. Lost in the land of mind over matter, Transcendence is too much trance and not nearly enough dance.. This mixture of sci-fi musing and crash-a...

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...

Dark Places (2015) Download Film

The fluidity and tension of the battle scenes is breathtaking, Eastwood at his cinematic best. But it's the ever-tightening knot inside of Kyle the director really wants to understand.. The best thing about "Unfriended," beyond its funny-nasty title, is that it doesn't play as remotely dull as it sounds even if most of the drama takes place inside shifting, overlapping windows.. A movie to be seen, if you can endure it-as a shrewd commercial venture, as an online opus that undoes your self-compo...

Transcendence (2014) Fuld Film Streaming

The directorial debut for ace cinematographer Wally Pfister is always watchable, but the narrative flaws and logical leaps sabotage sustained enjoyment. "Transcendence" looks and sounds like a Christopher Nolan film that got attacked by malware.. "Transcendence" is a moronic stew of competing impulses - bad science meets bad sociology meets bad theology .... As a human tragedy of man and monster, of beauty and beast, it has just enough genuine pathos that you wish it were better.. Transcendence ...

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...

Nådeløs Hævn (2009) Online Streaming

It's about the cat-and-mouse game between two very smart guys, and it's perfectly happy to be as dumb as it wants.. Despite its intriguing premise, the film amounts to little more than tedious, cliched melodramatics.. If the story is a smidge predictable, at least the movie is pleasingly old-fashioned and grown-up, with a '90s paranoid-thriller vibe.. A dopey script personified by Kutcher's dopey, immutable hair style morphs Rashomon into Dude, Where's My Karma?. Before I Go To Sleep turns a lud...

Every minute of this action packed movie is amazing. This is the single best movie I have ever seen. All of the actors do great jobs at their roles from the villains to the side characters they all give convincing performances.. A kind of ho-hum experience, wherein a lot of bullets are expended and a lot of structures exploded to minimal dramatic effect.. Awesome as director this is the first time that they have been together again Since training day powerful movie go see it!!!. Sometimes there ...

Z for Zachariah (2015) Se Fuld Film

The story might have evolved into your ho-hum exploration of romantic and sexual jealousy, but Zobel and his trio of performers dig into something murkier and more primal.. A thriller that takes a science fiction premise and uses it, not for the sake of splashy effects, but as a doorway into the human soul.. A casually brainy and surprisingly thoughtful blockbuster... that is ultimately as much about saving the day as seizing it.. You can see why the film stretches out to 130 minutes. It contain...

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...
