Klodernes Kamp (2005) Se Fuld Film

Writer/director James Ward Byrkit, in his feature debut, achieves effective chills with only eight actors and a living room .... There likely won't be a more gripping film this year than Spielberg's War Of The Worlds, which at its best glides along like choreography with a camera, slowly parsing out information while shrouding the rest in shadow and suggestion.. Overall, the film is too lacking in feeling to provide a recognizably human experience.. The Rod Serling tension Byrkit is angling for ...

Contagion (2011) Spille Streaming

Charlie's Angels is ... Cameron Diaz's movie.. Contagion is more unsettling than 1995's Outbreak or the disaster movies of the '70s.. Though all this is fun and engaging in short bursts ... it wears thin and strains our patience when stretched to cover even this film's brief 92-minute length.. If this is an action-thriller, it's one that makes med school look sexier than the Marines.. The good-natured humor of its three stars, who appear to be having a gas playing these ridiculous figures, goes ...

Cop Car (2015) Fuld Film Streaming

"Cop Car" has two kids at its center, but don't mistake this taut, wicked little thriller for a children's film.. [Cop Car features] the most evil monologue of the year. Perfectly, horribly, fantastically chilling.. Mitchell conjures up plenty of eerie atmospherics - the camerawork and "Halloween"-esque score are excellent - but the film never reaches terrifying heights.. Watts demonstrates a sadistic patience that's refreshing, especially compared to the usual blockbuster breathlessness.. "It F...

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...

Tracers (2015) Download Film

Tracers seems destined to disappear from theaters quickly without leaving much of a trace.. As long as it shuts up and keeps moving, "Tracers" makes for a sufficiently diverting, not to mention zero-emission, vehicle.. Lautner keeps his best assets - a super-ripped body - mostly well hidden while trying gamely to sell a very hackneyed storyline.. "The Fast and the Furious" - except slower and less incensed.. A movie about Taylor Lautner joining a parkour gang, and often exactly as silly as that ...

The November Man (2014) Se Streaming

"The November Man" is a sturdy-enough addition to the action spy (as opposed to the thoughtful spy) canon. It shoots straight, runs fast and is thoroughly, almost convincingly, paranoid.. Some like it cold. And that seems to be Brosnan's aim here - showing us someone who enjoys his license to kill so much, he's forgotten some of his reason to live.. It's called "The November Man," but it's really just another forgettable August release.. There's nothing terribly wrong with The November Man in a ...

Chappie (2015) Spille Film

Chappie is a clunky mix: a sentimental comedy-thriller with hideous violence and a profound cynicism about the inexorability of the computer-enhanced surveillance state.. This is a well-meaning film with a good idea that unfortunately stumbles on its way to its less-than-satisfying end.. While the visual effects are spectacularly seamless, they're in the service of a movie which devolves from vaguely funny to just-plain silly to numbingly gory.. There's material in Chappie for a worthwhile motio...
