Review: Nobody

Gambar
Nobody pivots on the idea of an everyday schlub secretly being the employee of the month for Murder Incorporated, which is kind of unlikely and yet not as unlikely as the idea that we're meant to think that Bob Odenkirk isn't capable of cold-blooded mass murder. By "we", I mean long term fans of his work, because if you've ever seen Mr. Show (and if you haven't run, don't walk) you know there is literally nobody (heh) working in film or television today better able to display full-throated rage with a single "what the fuck ". But Mr Show was a lifetime ago (or at least, the 90s) and nobody (lets stop this now) remembers sketch comedy, so chances are most people coming to Nobody are thinking of Odenkirk as the beat-down hustler he plays so well in Better Call Saul . The joke here isn't quite that he goes from playing one trademark Odenkirk role to another, but it's close enough for the 90 minute run time. The other joke here is that th...

Review: Godzilla vs Kong

Gambar
Okay, so here's what you want to know: there is an actual winner here. That said, as the final installment in a generally well thought-out (if not always successfully executed) series, those involved have clearly thought - a lot - about how to end things in a way that's going to keep everyone happy. Mission accomplished: whoever wins, the other guy's fans also win. Unfortunately, that sense of being extremely careful not to put a foot wrong extends throughout this somewhat satisfying but never spectacular series capper, resulting in a film that never cuts loose the way a film titled Godzilla vs Kong should. Remember how the tagline for Clash of the Titans was the awesome yet awesomely stupid "Titans Will Clash"? This needed a lot more of that energy. Still, titans (this series' co-name for giant monsters) literally clash here, so it can't be all bad even if it does take an exceedingly long time - close to an hour - to get to the first major fisticuffs. B...

Review: Crisis

Gambar
Treating drugs like a disaster movie is nothing new. Looked at from one angle, Crisis is basically an opioid-focused update of Stephen Soderberg's Traffic (itself adapted from a miniseries); looked at from another, it's part of an on-going tradition that gave us (to cite the most recent example) Zero Zero Zero . This is wide angle story-telling, where individual lives matter only so far as they fit into the big picture and the moral of the story is that drugs are a disaster wreaking havoc on society across the board. To make this point, Crisis focuses on three people: Claire (Evangeline Lilly) a single mother with a junkie past who finds herself drawn back into that world after a tragic incident involving her son; Dr Brower (Gary Oldman), a university scientist who's dropped in hot water when a test involving his corporate sponsor's new wonder drug suggests it may not be that wonderful; and DEA agent Jake Kelly (Armie Hammer), who's running an undercover operati...

Review: Judas and the Black Messiah

Gambar
A young man is tasked by the government to infiltrate an organisation deemed to be a threat to society. He's young, he's still unformed in many ways, which makes him a perfect undercover operative. It also means that the deeper he goes, the more he comes to connect and bond with those around him - those he's been ordered to betray. When the moment comes, will he side with them or the government that's pulling his strings? And will he be able to live with himself either way? Part of the thrill of Judas and the Black Messiah is seeing this familiar story (I'm thinking Donnie Brasco , but any one of a number of "inside man" movies fit the mold - and that's just mob movies) turned on its head. In those movies, Bill O'Neill (LaKeith Stanfield) would be the hero, the tormented man who nevertheless is doing right, while Fred Hampton (Daniel Kaluuya) would be a bad guy who maybe, if he was lucky, would be allowed a shred of dignity as he was taken down. ...
