It is not always worth trusting the recommendations of friends, even if the taste often coincides with them. What was said - the film is cool, tense, you can't break away from the screen and all that. But your submissive author didn't buy that at all, but that he looks like Joya's photo. Was that sarcasm? If it does, it's only as a pathetic parody. Although Lamberto Bava’s film does not go to everyone, but there are plenty of good actors in it, just as the story itself was very, very much to my liking, and another point that my friends know about can not make you feel bad about it. And here... But in order.
So here's a thriller. You sure it's not erotic? The amount of nudity added not because it is necessary for the plot, but, apparently, to add one of the most famous and popular special effects and at least attract the audience, is simply off the scale. Remove it and nothing will change. Her presence could still be forgiven by the fact that men need to look at something, but she was filmed so well. Although, perhaps its presence and allowed the film to have such a good rating on imdb, although it is absolutely undeserved if we consider the other components.
The plot is boring. No, the idea was very useful, but what a disgusting embodiment it got! For almost half of the film, watch as almost nothing happens, and that little something is presented in such a way that you do not even know whether it is real or if the heroes have glitch on the ground, because they do not smoke pot, or do not take anything stronger. The second half, where finally begins to at least something cursed no longer attracts much attention and just stupidly waiting - how it all ends, impatiently looking at the timer of the player - well, or just start rewinding.
No heroes. They inspire neither sympathy nor dislike. It seems that according to the profiles, some actors glowed in good projects, but specifically here they acted out so – no, acted out – this is too loudly said. They were just present, either not wanting to try themselves, or they were so poorly explained the task that they did not understand anything at all and decided - ah, and so it will. If so, why should the viewer be interested in watching nothing? Someone flashes in the frame, says something, but it ends with the scene - and you understand that none of it is remembered and when a certain time later someone from previously appearing is re-entered into the plot, only if his face in memory stuck to remember him, and what his name is, whose he will be and why - even the memory does not want to strain.
Dialogue - oh, it's just pain! They are so improbable that you just marvel at how the crap that the heroes carry, someone believes. Although, given that it is all carried, it would even be strange if among this cohort of absolutely unrealistic and cardboard types crowded at least someone adequate. No, it doesn't smell crazy here, but, God, they'd better be, because to listen to so much inadequacy is to rape your brain. And do not say that it is the translator's fault - before Sergei Kuznetsov such sins were not found, what was the original - such a translation.
Despite the stated genre - neither tense nor at least disturbing in the film there is nothing. Going back to Joya's photo - maybe the Americans actually watched it and, according to their habits, decided to remove their version, completely distorting the original? After all, it really looks like some scenes are copied from there. If it's mediocre plagiarism, it's disgusting, and if it's just a coincidence, it's no better. Sit down, movie
