Review derails twice in one-hour period. The Most Dangerous Game (2022) and Resurrection.



That thing must be familiar: TV with hundreds of channels and nothing to watch. Friday is surplus in new movies and no one is promising.

Brad Pitt was never confident in fighting… as well in acting… what a reference to almost all cast of people, which never saw before and don’t want anymore. Trailer of Bullet Train was presented in modern traditions. It told a whole plot.

Asylum who infamous in release of movies, which cognate in titles with upcoming blockbusters and intended for careless eye at first. I was in cringe condition with watching trailers of Bullet Train. Asylum’s Bullet Train Down had increased quality in comparison by promising a predictable story and what has curiosity – it has originality. I would watch it with Bullet Train for see that Asylum’s cheap production will better, but I won’t do that as wisely said Meat Loaf.

I willn’t touch Prey who initially has following to tendency in be worst of a previous flick. Predators was absolutely obviously obvious in obviosity on who will survive in the end, had laziness in screenplay and sacrilegiously desecrated a Thomas brothers’ invention. Before then Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem had a wacky surrealistic plot, but it didn’t offense monsters while Predators was ridiculous in watching. If this extraterrestrial monster easily throws a physically powerful Dutch who needed something stronger for put down a predator when a tiny ectomorph body-type Adrien Brody runs and screams with a little axe, which is capable to slay this thing. Predator rights in control of Disney was already a death sentence. Following to political correctness or whatever it calls today, what doesn’t make a change, their Prey has a tiny, short, but contradictive strong Indian woman with a bow and arrows against a giant alien. Disney is Midas, but their touching don’t turn into gold. I would kill goodness of a day in watching a film from filthy five. Unpleasant aftertaste from Dune and The Batman can come back to me and also tell that I ultimately dropped this kind of cinema after Iron Man 3 and was happily after that.

A couple usual flicks from Saban whose full story always already know by checking trailer. Stowaway with Die Hard-type screenplay and Arnie’s son similar with the last to B-movie has a relative or person with similar last name of a known bankable actor.

18 & Over from creators of wonderful The Birthday Cake, which I could endure forty-two minutes. The authors offer ten thousand copies of their new movie for 263 dollars of each. Well, I have this money, but I’m not going to spend them on a flick with Pamela Anderson and Paris Hilton.

I was writing that I lost interest to The Most Dangerous Game (2022). I’ve got additional reason in a man who was put on a main role (I can’t just simply write “a thespian”.). Christopher Tamburello, he famous by completion reality show The Challenge. I watched it fifteen years ago and forgot on it’s existence. Tamburello hasn’t experience in films and I didn’t find that he was learning acting. I reasoned that I can get a fun and see a shame in adaptation of Richard Connell’s short story.


The Most Dangerous Game (2022) – 19 minutes.


The second minute: intro credits and movement of camera is filigree directing… he repeats again this shot… Gruesome! It isn’t astute! I understand that Christopher Tamburello was chosen for victories in the last two The Challenges, because he isn’t familiar with acting. Next act takes set inside of ship’s cabin busied of three people who have gibberish misunderstanding conversations.

The fourth minute: It’s a drained in quality variation of Connell’s tale. Presenting in the cabin Bruce Dern and Judd Nelson do fine with performing. Randy Charach who between them isn’t capable for it. Dern, who overacted once and clearly like cheese willn’t long as usual, situates in a period piece but, I suspect, he in own clothe. I wouldn’t surprise if filming was in his home. I can’t catch in what time it occurs, because staff from different epochs. It’s like somebody with own shallow imagination or just picked up different subjects and put in one place for make his terrible movie, you know.

The fifth minute: Tamburello’s entrance in the cabin did high up a bad acting. Close-up of Dern’s glasses are similar from our time. It must be his own too.

The seventh minute: A new actor did downfall adding to performance. His vague speech showed shots of presenting people with contradictory reactions. A given for Tamburello role makes him to look wild. Even a good actor in this such monstrous screenplay already can’t stand it.

The twelfth minute: I impress to stoic reaction of Judd Nelson who just survived shipwrecking! Maybe, he is from Muscovy.

The eighteenth minute: Whether or not a director wished to show a shipwreck, but he hadn’t money on that as well on Baron’s manor – don’t tell me that it’s bunker is a modern interpretation, allegory or something what that artist wanted to say. A nowadays bunker, which earlier can be from the sixties, with staff of the thirties or the forties if flashbacks want to be the Second World War. Tamburello still lost. His performance for contemporary standards will nominate him on Oscar in few years.

The nineteenth minute: An island doesn’t convince it’s the island. I think WWII’s moments were filmed somewhere nearby of that forest. Survivors of shipwrecking observe trophies in the bunker, which more a private museum of crazy grandpa, and accept surrounding for a wealthy place. I see that budget didn’t allow to rent a house or I still don’t understand the director.


Resurrection – 28 minutes.


I saw Rebecca Hall once what was in Iron Man 3 and her acting didn’t impress in goodness. In one interview, Hall said that she would like to cinema such was in 50s. I presume, she is implementing her dream by playing in independent projects, which she produces and additionally in one of them an actress also had involvement as a writer and a director.


Staging of Resurrection is about that what she wanted. Hall has a multifaceted dramatic role, but her acting can’t handle with it. I never believed in her personage. A screenplay and directing by one Andrew Semans did contribution in disrupting of it. His staging is already uninteresting on watching everyday boredom of a main heroine containing: running a company, drinking bear and having sex with a married subordinate. Assumed suspense doesn’t appear. I already knew that something will wrong from Tim Roth’s character. Semans incapable with combination of shots. His narrating goes in fast pace what is usual in contemporary films. I thought on masterpiece Cape of Fear by J. Lee Thompson by little similarities here, but Resurrection is a different film. However, true intentions of Robert Mitchum’s Max Cady in Cape Fear for a long time are mysterious until he reveals them. Semans’s directing is alike to an exploitation movie by seeing a chicken becoming a baby doll. His film’s world unrealistically filled only of aggressive people who can swear without necessity. I smiled to a third sex scene. It’s addiction. And beer for every day isn’t healthy. In another evening, Hall’s heroine offers whisky to her daughter who always irritated what made me happy that I haven’t kids and save this planet from overpopulating by that. One standard glass for each was immediately dried – that disrespect using frightened me as a whisky drinker. It was the most horrified moment in a seen movie. Tim Roth appeared like De Niro in remake of Cape Fear – I already saw what he wants to do. I couldn’t tempt myself in watching more and clicked for see that it’s definitely the exploitation movie.
