Reviews on movie Plan B (2)

The film on the one hand is quite serious, but at the same time funny and fun. All the fun lies mainly in the behavior of the main characters of the picture, who build themselves superheroes. I won’t call it a great movie, but I can’t say I had a bad time either. It was fun to watch the adventures of crooked actors who were in the wrong place at the wrong time.
While watching, I definitely did not get bored, because the events are fascinating, fueling interest in the further fate of the heroes. However, with all this, the plot is primitive and simple, without having any special chip that would distinguish this film from a thousand similar ones.
One of the main advantages of the film is the fight scenes, which were quite a lot. Despite the behavior of heroes who pretend to be cool guys, being simpletons, they know how to fight. Two Asians, a Turk (seemingly) and an African-American, waved their hands and feet, stacking the bad guys. Fights are honed and, most importantly, fast, watching such scenes is a great pleasure for a lover of “fighting” films.
The film flies quite imperceptibly, there are practically no boring scenes. As a disadvantage, I can only call the excessive simplicity of a number of characters. The task they had to do was too trivial. That is, it initially seemed entertaining, but in the end it was too easy. No mysteries or secrets, everything lies on the surface. I wanted something that would make this film a worthy creation. And it turns out that in addition to fights, there is not much to see here.

The result is a simple action movie with stupid main characters, which is easy and pleasant to watch, but it does not carry anything new. The degree of simplicity is skyrocketing, so I recommend watching mainly for lovers of fighting movies.

In Germany there are a considerable number of people of different nationalities, just look at the national football team of this country. Four friends are the main characters of the film, this is confirmed. Turk, Thai, Korean, Negro confront the Russian mafia on German soil. Such an international will envy any American cinema, where such a topic is focused on.
One of them is a fan of Stallone movies, especially one of them, and in everything copies the image of Sly from the tape “Cobra” right down to the phrases he said. Another turns out to be a fan of Bruce Lee and his work and also tries to imitate him. The third, like, has no soul in Marty McFly from Back to the Future. In any case, he calls himself so in one episode. The fourth is not anyone’s fan or fan, but imagines himself a cool manager, despite the fact that, as the film says, he has problems with numbers, which is later confirmed clearly. Just a team of champions and winners in life gathered. Three are trying to make a career in action cinema, and the fourth helps them in this. They know how to fight, they know martial arts, but they have no luck with work. And now, instead of another casting, they get stuck in a criminal history. This is where their adventure begins.

The introductory action scene is simply chic. This dynamics, camera work, these angles, the spans of the camera, everything is filmed stylishly, spectacularly, spectacularly, with an easy serve, without tension and gloomy. As befits the spirit of a comedy action movie. This episode is the coolest action in the whole movie. Then there will be more, but not so much and dense and will be almost without shooting. Hand-to-hand fights are very well staged, the actors playing the main roles know a lot about this and show what they are capable of.
The comedy was quite vivid and I liked the humor. Although I prefer when everything happens on a serious scale, as they say, but I can take jokes. For humor here answer literally all the characters, although a little more responsible for this African-American. There are more scenes with him and they are remembered better.
In general, good, easy, half-crash (such episodes are also present) entertaining, will please with good fights, stupid and not particularly inventive humor and a few references to the films of the 70-80s and characters from them. But don’t put too much hope on him.
