Lucy (2014) Se Streaming

This movie worries that humanity is wasting its potential, which is a bizarre fear for a movie that has this many nonsensical shootouts. But that's what on Besson's mind: the Big Bang and bang-bang.. In the showiest sequence, Lucy's body starts exploding into bursts of confetti. Even then, Johannson holds everything together. She's the rare actress who brings conviction and clarity to flights of fancy.. Besson has made very, very bad films in the past, but this is the first time he has presented...

Out of the Furnace (2013) Download Film

Aims for Bruce Springsteen with its blue-collar big themes and stadium-rock emotion but ends up as a bandana-wearing cliche.. We're supposed to take this more seriously because it takes itself more seriously.. It's Bale, and his almost biblical quest for justice, who burns his way into your soul.. Although Out of the Furnace takes place just a few years back in this new millennium, Scott Cooper's solemn, blood-soaked drama about brothers and broken dreams feels like it's of some different, ancie...

No Country for Old Men (2007) Fuld Film Streaming

A pulpy, deceivingly insightful send-up of horror movies that elicits just as many knowing chuckles as horrified gasps.. With its dizzying alternations of comedy and horror, the film is unmistakably a Coen brothers movie -- albeit a much better one than they've made in a while.. Working from a Cormac McCarthy novel that has the heedless, headlong force of an action movie screenplay, Joel and Ethan Coen have improved upon the original by giving it a visual lyricism to match McCarthy's verbal barr...

The Babadook (2014) Spille Streaming

Sometimes you go to a movie and know from the first image that whoever made it knows what she's doing. You don't need convincing. You're there with her. Jennifer Kent's The Babadook is like that.. The Prestige's chief pleasure lies in [Jackman and Bale's] increasingly ornate games of deception, which Nolan orchestrates with a showman's aplomb.. Jennifer Kent's startling debut is an artful horror-chiller that gets under your skin and into your psyche.. Director Kent has made the kind of striking ...

Jack Reacher (2012) Download Fuld

Jack Reacher is an absurdly self-confident, sociopathically laser-focused detective-bot. That is to say, he's a hero that only Tom Cruise could love.. Actors have to eat like the rest of us, but you still have to wonder how Vera Farmiga and Peter Sarsgaard ended up wading through Orphan and not laughing.. Director Jaume Collet-Serra (House of Wax) endows this ugly mess with a slew of unintentional laughs, but not enough to repay the 123-minute time suck.. The dialogue is often unintentionally fu...

Knock Knock (2015) Spille Streaming

The characters are driven by convenience, not behavior, and their actions seem like they've been manhandled into place to make the plot work.. "Knock Knock" is not without its campy pleasures - it's just so unpleasant while it's doling them out.. Roth's tale is fairly twisty, as the behavior of the women grows increasingly violent and more outrageous.. Roth, who is no Michael Haneke (or even Adrian Lyne), seems unconcerned with creating genuine tension or digging into an allegory of moral conseq...

The Counselor (2013) Se Fuld Film

Nearly every plot twist is telegraphed by reams of stilted dialogue provided by novelist Cormac McCarthy in his first original screenplay.. It's filthy, nasty, sexy, absurd, appalling, and exhilarating, and it succeeds as a musky union of novelist Cormac McCarthy's bleakness and Ridley Scott's sense of chic.. Novelists don't always make good screenwriters-this is the first film for which McCarthy has written the screenplay himself-and The Counselor's nihilism soon becomes tedious.. The action is...
