Review derails. Canary Black – 21 minutes.

It’s movie is got old desire of independent studio to launch franchise by putting few dozens of millions of dollars for turn them into cash flow. Correct, a conclusion hints to this direction which isn’t at first time for Kate Beckinsale. Her heroine met Susan Sarandon in previous such attempt and Saffron Burrows was in the last scene of Canary Black. It looks there willn’t another uniform series as Beckinsale had Underworld centuries ago.

 

Pierre Morel missed in action after From Paris with Love. He was glimpsing in staging episodes of shows which did tantalize me while return to full length flicks after several years never propelled to watching after seeing trailers indicated on derivative stories and Javier Bardem was in one of them. I had slightly better to his last output by looking on presenting video though I didn’t believe in exclusion.

It became true from the first minutes showing a rude editing work in action. People and kick movements relocate from places. Everything in film without efforts by that shows in performance of actors and dialogs perceive as must something to say. No authenticity in everyday life of heroine with her incoherent situations and movement on narration in fast pace. I never liked unnaturalness such as presented as regular person her husband does fast cutting of leek or a part of laziness was in accurately lying in correct position laptop, which he opens and it shows an exact video to his spouse.

Kate Beckinsale is comfortable in action but she have never made a memorable film. I couldn’t carry on by her hitting of landmine out from window which was supposed to explode in collision with desk under which it was. I didn’t want more of this fairytale by going further for get to know on terrorist blackmailing world for get money or he will launch virus while aforementioned lead heroine’s husband isn’t honest guy and he has debt to mafia for years and watch on familiar physical standoff where villain holds knife and good character turns blade against but it impossible because between a woman and physically average man – that episode could make original and trustworthy by playing on female’s ability in situation as it could be a hit in weak point.

 

I must lie on a bed and drink wine for hundreds of bucks and eat jamon and olives as normal people do instead self-convince myself it’s a miserable movie and how I was deeply right (I like to speak with myself by the way.). However, I want to express gratitude to that or those who made Rovinj as filming place because by it I’ve recognized on this town and it made to discover more other exciting places in Croatia which I want to visit. Thank you!
