Sicario (2015)
Not realistic, unnecessary scenes and characters
We had 25 negative things and 5 positive, the good:
1.Strong intro, with the cartel house and bodies in the walls
2.Brutal scenes with hanging corpses under the MX bridge, and when Alejandro is by the table with the druglord
3.Most personality: the MX dirty cop and his son (but still unnecessary roles)
4.There is tension during large parts of the movie (but it breaks down into nothing)
Bad:
5. Main character, clueless and weak woman who is supposed to be a SWAT team / FBI member, ridiculous.
6. It all starts out of nowhere and ends nowhere
7. There is no real suspense whatsoever, like in directors great movie Prisoners
8. Druglord's only guarded by few men, it's far to easy and not realistic at all
9. The tunnel scene is totally unnecessary, and not realistic at all
10. There was no reason for anyone to involve the FBI in this story
11. Main characters FBI colleague is totally unnecessary, as is the info about his Law background.
We could go on and on, and on.... 2/10, just because the first points mentioned
We could go on and on, and on....
Prisoners (2013)
Thrilling thriller
Unpredictable from start to finish, great entertainment, if you love Shutter Island-ish movies you'll love this as well. Masterpiece, bravo!
Ajvar (2019)
Skip this overhyped movie
You will want 1h40min back of your life if you watch this. Complete failure of a movie, lots of "silent dilaogue" and nothing happening, complete absence of thrill. The entire film could've been wrapped up in 22min max, the screen play had lot potential as it was shot in beautiful Stockholm (which you get to see for 20sec), and vibrating Belgrade, but the rookie director got it all wrong in this film. Still can't figure out how a decent actor as Trifunovic actually agreed to be a part of this lousy, dull, zero entertainment movie, he must be in serious need of cash or going through a crisis in his otherwise, decent career.
Avoid at all costs, definetely not worth it. Only scene worth mentioning, is when Vida storms out of the restaurant to have a smoke, and meets this guy sitting at the stares outside. He shares his 45sec story about how his wife left him, with his kid, and never came back. I guarantee you that you would switch channel if you saw this at home, or like us, would want to leave the cinema after 40min max, as it's boring with no charm whatsoever, and stays that way throughout the entire film. No momentum, no story, no drama, wakes zero feelings inside you. Sorry to say it, but a disaster.
