Movie Reviews

the movie delivers

Escalate or diffuse ? Overwhelming force or appropriate response to a human being in crisis ? The reviews here are not that positive ; I disagree.This is a poignant story rendered capably and one that keeps the story moving and interesting not to mention outstanding acting by all the characters portrayed. That's the point of my review , a movie with a compelling story. If you are up for fantasy and 'cartoon' movies , then look elsewhere. If you up for a real movie , by all means go to see this one. The story is different but it reminds me of the Clint Eastwood produced movie :' Richard Jewel' and , that was, IMO a good movie . And please remember when you see a one star review to click on the link for the user of the the one star review because more often than not it is a one and done user review in other words , a troll posting a bad review and to put it mildly : insincere, sincerely yours an actual person who watched the movie and posted in my imdb blog .

Based on a true story. Terrific acting performances. Gripping direction. Leaves me behind in silence and awe...

Beware: this is NOT an action movie, but a slowburning actor's DRAMA.The story: An American war veteran (John Boyega) isnt paid the 892 dollars he is entitled to. Desperate for money and suffering from post traumatic stress disorder, he looses his mind and takes hostages at a bank in order to pressure the government to pay him the 892 dollars. And NOT a single dollar more!Does this story sound too crazy to be true, think again, because this has actually happened for real! We get to hear the real 911 call from the real hostage taker at the very end of the movie during the credits.This movie is on an entirely different level. I havent been taken a back like this by a movie for a long time...First of all I must applaud the terrific acting performances by ALL of the actors involved.John Boyega is probably best known for his comical Star Wars movie role, but in this movie he proofs he can really ACT well in a serious, hardhitting drama.The direction of this movie is non stop suspenseful from start till finish. I literally sat on the edge of my seat, during the final half hour of this devestating story.Everything from photography, to sound, to editing is masterfully done as well.Beware: Not a movie to be recommended for those who seek cheap action packed entertainment, but a movie to be HIHGLY recommended for those who dont shy away from a devastating, true to life DRAMA, with a bleak and depressing moral message inside...The most earth shattering drama I have witnessed these last couple of months... THIS is why I love the cinema!
