IR Film Review: TRAP [Warner Bros]
The essence of an M. Night Shyamalan film rests many times where the filmmaker is in his own head and where that path might take him. With ”Trap,” there is a weird essence of dual personality not unlike his lead character Cooper (played by Josh Hartnett) who begins the movie taking his daughter to a concert. The irony is the way it is built.
IR Film Review: OPERATION FORTUNE - RUSE DE GUERRE [Lionsgate]
The context of a would be heist/spy thriller all reflects in the tone of a film. Guy Ritchie has always been great at balancing the aspect of bug budget with scrappy independent-feel pieces. With "Operation Fortune - Ruse De Guerre", he finds the best balance so far because the approach is both humorous, dynamic, fun and doesn't take itself too seriously.
IR Film Review: WRATH OF MAN [Miramax/MGM]
"Wrath Of Man" is a tale of revenge, more 70s action than grindhouse but with some interesting additions.
