Ayulet Zurer (Avner's wife) would make an interesting Bond girl. Very beautiful.
Indeed.
Just got to the middle of the film. The 'Fedayeen' sequence where they storm the apartments SWAT style and kill everyone. I believe I've found my new favorite movie.
Yes, I got a good laugh out of:
The tension in this film is impeccable.
Haha, indeed. I love his face change. What's your favorite scene in the film thus far?
Hmm. So hard. I enjoyed the
Indeed. I fixed it, though I feel not much was given away. I simply provided as much as a trailer would spoil..
I know, but that is a "holy crap" moment, and leads to a bigger development later on.
...WOW.
Unbelievably excellent. I can't continue it after this, though, as Netflix only has the first season up. Such a shame.
@JWESTBROOK, great choice. My favorite has to be:
So intense. Beautifully done, and one of the few cases I accept slow-motion.
Even the score of the film upsets me - in a good way. Very touching and emotional, just like the score throughout 'Man on Fire' that they continually use, especially the end song. If you haven't seen the film, I recommend you give it a watch.
Personal: 10/10
Critical: 8.5/10
Again, a film I could watch over and over again. It's the action movie that doesn't want to be an action movie but stopped going to it's therapy.
The plot is interesting enough.. and developed enough.. Jews want revenge for some strife in their past. A buncha' guys on a mission movie that excels.
The score is simple but extremely effective. The tension is killer if you're paying attention. In fact, I'd like to point that out as the best aspect of this film. It pulls you in. It builds and builds and builds on a sequence and nails the execution. Your constantly thinking 'what's going to go wrong' or 'something's not right' and often your surprised.
The first half definitely is superior to it's second half however. But that fits the story. It starts out fresh and exciting for both the viewer and the characters, and by the end you question what's happened, the morality, and the reasoning.
The acting is not obviously outstanding, but all the characters are convincing. One of those films where you don't notice the acting because your so involved in the story, which is a sign of good acting.
Direction is perfect. The film is rarely slow before it picks back up, and the slow is only necessary for a coherent story. It's extremely enjoyable. The film is a bit on the long side, but if your focused on the film that passes reasonably.
My only issue is one extremely specific scene that was simply uncomfortable for me.
I'll be viewing this again soon. The action is perfect. There are a few dark-humor light moments, but you have to enjoy that kind of thing and it only pops up on a few occasions.
Extremely effective, but it only convinces me even more that religion is the biggest crime to coexistence. Talk about an 'excuse' for war, see this film and you'll understand an Atheist's ploy.
Next: probably Man On Fire
@Creasy47, I can PM you a link to series 2 that I use to re-watch all of them. In fact, I am watching series 1 again starting in just a bit. I focused more on series 2, so I am coming back to give 1 some love.
And, ironically, a convincing argument against religion in general. Discussing how their
I'm not a hippy, but if war can be avoided, it should be. When people threaten or take innocent lives, or if economic issues get in the way, I'm more convinced war can be justified. But simply saying 'my un-proven God is better than yours, and I should kill you for it' is no reason. It's disgusting.
@0BradyM0Bondfanatic7, please do. I'm dying to continue: that was such an excellent cliffhanger of a season finale.
Another thing that's a real shame is that I doubt I can ever go back to traditional television after this: 90-minute episodes make them so much better, because you have so many more scenes, more detail, more plot and character progression that you don't get in 25 or 45 minute episodes.
Speaking of Dan, he has had some pretty good pre-Bond films, aside from 'Munich': off the top of my head, I can think of 'Flashbacks of a Fool,' 'Layer Cake,' and 'Enduring Love.' The last one I listed had some great casting.
I haven't seen Enduring Love, but I enjoy Layer Cake and have seen a lot of Flashbacks of a Fool, which is ok. That wasn't pre-Bond though, rather 2008.
And, an actor that gets horrible fates in his films, Leonardo Dicaprio. Every film I begin to watch with him I ponder "gee Leo, how will you die this time?".
Overated drama borefest. 5/10
Haha, I was thinking of Leonardo Dicaprio as I typed that.
So far I've honestly hated the opening. haha
Ah yes, another type casted Denzel Washington. It seems like all he plays is an officer/agent.
