Extinction (2015)
What was that?!
If you like horror movies, if you like zombie movies, if you like postapocalypse movies, if you like good acting and nice dialogues, if you like interesting plots, or if you just like movies - skip this one.
Akinjeon (2019)
One of the best South Korean movies!
'On 5 May 2019, it was announced that Sylvester Stallone and his Balboa Productions partner Braden Aftergood will produce the remake of The Gangster, The Cop, The Devil, with Ma Dong-seok reprising his role and producing the film under BA Entertainment' - I knew it! When I was watching the movie I knew someone from Hollywood will steal it 😓
I know not many of you are fond of Asian movies as I am, still I wanna tell you about this one. South Korea is famous for making good thrillers and this is yet another example - not trivial plot, good actors and directing. But the thing that really got me is the mafia boss character. The actor just nailed it so well picturing him as a good/bad guy. I love things like that.
P.S. on one of the sites I read it's based on true events 😱😱😱
El ángel (2018)
The world belongs to outlaws and artists. Talking about artists...
El angel (2018) directed by Luis Ortega is a biographical crime drama film. It is inspired by the true story of Argentine serial killer Carlos Robledo Puch (or "The Angel of Death" and "The Black Angel") who has been in prison since 1973 and is the longest-serving prisoner in Argentina.
Lorenzo Ferro is great as the baby-faced killer with his innocent charisma and the cleverness and, yes, the dance moves. His performance is quite impressive and for all I know this is his first role in a movie. He surely did an outstanding work giving us that image of a beautiful and dangerous boy, the boy that we not truly understand and yet can't keep our eyes off. And speaking of the rest of the cast - they were great too. Chino Darin, Cecilia Roth, Peter Lanzani, Daniel Fanego and Mercedes Moran - they all worked together and seem to put the souls into the movie.
The film is effective in recreating the style and atmosphere of 1970s Buenos Aires, the picture looks stunning/stylish and the storyline is interesting/entertaining and I very much liked kind of circular plot structure. And of course I should not forget to mention the amazing soundtrack. So everything works here: the script, the actors, the camera guy, the directing is great, the soundtrack is great, the style is and so on.
For a stylised bit of criminal drama based on real-life events, this one's pretty well done and simply one of the best movies I've ever watched.
