Loves your submissive author to dig up all sorts of rarities and bravely endures at the screen, in order to then warn against viewing, or vice versa recommend a cinematic miracle. Of course, my taste is very specific and it has often happened that, having come to the utter delight of another film, after discovering that no one else wants to share their delights. However, in contrast to this, if something seemed to me rubbish, then it often appears in the eyes of others. But most often, my views are series dedicated to a person from the creators and what kind of series is going on at the moment, all those who follow my lyrics have guessed long ago and probably some thought - few of her films are rare, even actors are almost unknown. Movies are often very untested. Here's how my subject is, for example.
And in order not to stretch the introduction further, I will get to the point. In genres, there is one word - action movie, but for some reason the second one, which fits the film no less - thriller, is forgotten. And let the viewer not be confused by the fact that the chases and explosions, of which there are plenty, the thriller component remains not so much, however, it is present, even if it begins closer to the finale of this hour and a half tape. Or maybe a little earlier, it is from what side to approach both the definition of the genre and the picture is not the most famous of the American directors. For someone, everything will be clear already from the very first frames and he will prefer to rewind to the end to find out what happened, and someone will spend time watching and after - will regret it or not will proceed from his own tastes about how both of these genres should look in his view.
The main character performed by the same comrade, whose filmography your obedient author is now engaged in, works in the police. He catches crooks, to be exact. He loves his wife and daughter, who do not see him very often due to his profession. Well, someone needs to keep order in their hometown. And about it and not - the swindler who bred does not want to behave and, if he gets into prison, then less than a year later he comes out of there to please again - you will inevitably remember the immortal words from the Soviet comedy about illegal romance.
It was a funny story, and then a terrible story begins. Not all crooks were so exemplary and romantic. Some of them killed for money, cruelly and in cold blood. They were even having fun - watch how beautifully the exploded car burns with the cops roasting in it. Look how cute a little girl looks with a fatal wound. Look at this. They loved to look and laugh, believing that the law was not written to them. Getting away from the chase is no problem, especially since the more corpses are left behind, the more fun it is, because only their own life is valuable, and someone else’s life is worth nothing. Or not, until a certain point.
And that's where the thriller begins. Crazy criminals versus those who have nothing to lose. Who will survive this fight in the deep snow? Whose blood will stain the white cover, the hunter or the victim? Of course, someone who has eaten a dog on such films will lazily shrug their shoulders and say that everything is clear in advance and it is not worth wasting time on the process, which has become not as spectacular as shooting and explosions, which is not at the highest level. The actors, of course, tried to the best of their abilities, but we were not going to watch the Oscar-winning game when we shook the dust off the tape and inserted it into the player. Your obedient author liked this almost forgotten creation of cinema, because she did not expect too much, and for this level and scale is different, and the score on this scale is appropriate.
9 out of 10
Well, as for my friend, the role in this film is one of the best in his not so extensive track record.
