Take lives/Die Hard Not quite beaten, but quite popular genre themes of the utopian future, built on love of the game and cruel spectacle, received a very strong representative of the genre. From the game categories this time a shooter is taken, and from the first frames you feel that everything is real here.
A world almost captured by the owner of the gaming industry, divided into two realities: “Society”, where the level of violence is minimized and the level of perversion is raised into a cult, and “Murderers”, where condemned to death fight for a tiny chance of release. The second is more interesting as the story of the film, the first is in reality.
The video sequence in the ragged montage from beginning to end shows a reflection of our reality and a mirror of our own desires. The world of utopian absurdity gives rise to a sense of reality comparable to living in someone else’s shoes. The film managed to plunge the viewer deep into the raised issues. Live someone else’s life, and someone even look at themselves from the outside. A brilliantly worked-out story with the placement of all the final points does not need stamping of actions and any plot twists. Everything is linear, and therefore so exciting that you do not think about what will happen next, but live here and now, in the same moment with the hero, feeling the same as him.
Butler revealed his character’s acting potential and spiritual world, causing empathy and empathy. But even more he managed to cause delight, and not only the audience of cinemas, but also inside the plot, achieving a mass audience in favor of the main antagonist. He with one of his grins hints – “I am a villain”, and at the same time causes such strong antipathy and admiration for charisma that even the applause of the hall when performing justice sound to him worthy and respectful.
Problems of a variety of people of a variety of ages and occupations are presented on the screen in dynamic development and full-fledged substantive disclosure of all the problems, making the video series instructive, and the action meaningful and competent. The content and meaning of the film at least topple, in all its versatility and diversity, both in direct text and through metaphors. And it does not fit into my head that such a smart movie was invented by the authors of the crazy “Adrenaline”. The tying with its secondaryness is quite interesting, the dynamics of actions does not sag, and most importantly, the creators prefer not to talk about some problem, but to show it in the most visual way. Therefore, the visuals are valuable here, not the conversations between the characters. It's a good movie to watch. Well, a bonus to everything are brutal action and a variety of beautiful eroticism, and such a frame of the picture really look hurried. The viewer receives bread and spectacles in full size, and the ear caresses incendiary Bloodhound gang and shock rocker Marilyn Manson. It's just a celebration!
A real cruel action movie, in bright colors and with an impressive spectacle, is carried by a dynamic express without stopping, or like a brilliant bullet fired, filled with sharp meaningful content. A world where some take other people's lives in a figurative sense and control people like puppets, while others take other people's lives directly, building empires of slavery and depriving them of their will and killing them mercilessly for real. And one tough nut challenges the world facing the Roman Empire: with a cruel tyrant at the helm and gladiatorial battles, demanded by society incredibly high.
And in the end, it is not so much that you want to go back to reality, when everything seems to be already decided, and you dreamed of such a magnificent finale all this time, when everything is already decided on the screen, and our society is only moving towards this dystopia of violence and slavery, it is difficult to look around with eyes wide closed. Realizing that the film is about to turn out to be prophetic, and not really even understanding it, they are afraid of it or take it for granted and an indispensable step forward. After all, the very realistic future is presented in the film, reflecting the real needs of modern society.
Fans of the genre of the film should definitely come to taste, gamers themselves should make you think, couples bond, and just like all its content. From brutal shootings to the triumph of identity and meaning. If you want a serious and also spectacular and meaningful class A action movie, feel free to go and do not miss such a masterpiece!
