It's called Cliffhanger, Mom! It’s not an action movie, it’s a fun adventure that I wouldn’t want to miss – and I’m so glad I went to a session with 4DX. Contrary to critics, I don’t think the film is terrible. Is the story going down? Definitely. Are there shocking plot twists just for the sake of shock? Oh, yeah. But this good enough in previous films Matthew Vaughn.
The love line (not for the first time for me) stumbles over the game of Dallas Howard, and her character, undoubtedly interesting, is lost in steep turns. The villains, on the other hand, are one-dimensional. The plot has a lot of unnecessary twists and details that are fun in the moment, but do not lead us to anything. But even this I want to forgive, because it is part of the fun: yes, in some places everything is pulled by the ears and descends to the outdated Bond trails, but the fights are exciting and dynamic (colored smoke! dancing! figure skating!), the cat is charming, Sam Rockwell is just beautiful.
The gunman is stuffed with fan service for readers of popular literature, but is not like either Romance with a Stone or The Lost City. Vaughn allows the heroine to be both a cat girl and a writer and a cool girl. Is the extra fem agenda important to the well-fed Barbie and Poor-Unhappy viewer? I guess not. But the ideas hidden behind it are very valuable.
And I will gladly review this story, sitting on the couch with the cat.
