Inherent Vice (2014) Se Streaming

Into the Wild takes your heart and shakes it, offering inspiration, exasperation and blunt realization in a true story of one young man's dream and nightmare.. A road movie with a lofty message that too frequently gets lost in its own thematic barrens. Whereas Krakauer's disturbing book sticks with you, Penn's movie, wrapped in the balloon of its fanciful rhetoric, just floats off.. At first glance, Inherent Vice might seem to be a detective story. Look a little closer, however, and it becomes c...

The Counselor (2013) Download Fuld

As cold, precise and soulless as the diamonds that figure briefly in its plot, "The Counselor" is an extremely unpleasant piece of business.. Novelists don't always make good screenwriters-this is the first film for which McCarthy has written the screenplay himself-and The Counselor's nihilism soon becomes tedious.. Movies can be like undercover cops: They become too enamored of the worlds they explore.. Nearly every plot twist is telegraphed by reams of stilted dialogue provided by novelist Cor...

The Drop (2014) Online Streaming

The Drop's unpredictability is organic rather than sensationalistic. The movie doesn't pull surprises out of thin air for the sole purpose of shocking an audience - it lets them develop naturally.. Less than top-drawer Lehane but well worth watching all the same.. Roskam treats the material with reverence, and the working-class Brooklyn setting with a painterly eye.. The Drop is steeped in a simmering underworld familiar to fans of late directors Sidney Lumet and Arthur Penn, and stripped of pri...

The Departed (2006) Spille Film

[A] glorious mess of a movie.. A Walk in the Woods is pleasant but inconsequential, a passing diversion rather than a worthy cinematic destination.. The two actors carp and quip well together, enough to carry us through a plot with few surprises.. After all these years, iconic former golden boys Robert Redford and Nick Nolte share the big screen -- and they're stuck in a middling sitcom.. The lax, lame A Walk in the Woods is a road movie without a road, a journey of self-discovery without discov...

A Most Violent Year (2014) Se Streaming

Chandor, who previously wrote and directed "Margin Call" and "All Is Lost," is already a master storyteller, and "A Most Violent Year" unfolds with beautifully controlled tension.. Abel is a man with ideals in a world that has no use for them: If he's going to succeed, he's going to have to use his wits instead of bullets.. Oscar Isaac has been extremely good in previous roles, but he is an utter revelation as Abel, the quiet power of his performance recalling early Pacino.. The performance by I...

Mr. Holmes (2015) Online Streaming

Even those who've read the book can be startled by what happens in Mr. Holmes, while they're being moved by McKellen in a role he's come to late, but with his customary elegance.. Mr. Holmes is about how the past defines us. It is also very much about regret and trying to put things right.. The film's plots are soft and flimsy, and they don't mesh as gracefully as they might, but they do serve as an adequate trellis for Mr. McKellen's performance, which is gratifyingly but unsurprisingly wonderf...

City of God (2002) Spille Streaming

Meirelles opens with a stark image -- close-up of a knife sharpened on a whetting stone -- and, for the rest of the film, pretty much keeps us on that knife's edge.. Difficult to watch but hard to look away from.. Long and difficult to watch, but it is never dull.. A shocking, deeply disturbing film made with great passion.. An extraordinary film, but definitely not for the weak of stomach.. Traffic was brilliant fiction, but City of God proves that true stories often pack the most punch.. The l...

Bronson (2008) Fuld Streaming

. "Nuffin' wonky about my upbringing," Bronson says, early on. Nothing wonky about Hardy's performance, either.. The tone is surreal, at once visceral and clinical, making Bronson an unsettling experience: savage, disturbing, and yet somehow fascinating.. An enchanting tale from Tim Burton that weaves together reality and myth so touchingly it hardly matters which is which.. This is psychotic behavior as performance art, and Hardy makes it irresistible.. Burton's fabled imagination runs wild wit...
