Criminal. Criticism of the new film’s Kevin Costner

What you do be as you are? What makes you be you? Your actions? Your last? Your thinking? The things that you say? Your memories?

An amazing cast (Kevin Costner, Gary Oldman, Ryan Reynolds, Tommy Lee Jones, Jordi Mollà, Michael Pitt, Alice Eve and Gal Gadot) Criminal talks about all that. This deepens the film in a way visual and dreamlike, especially at the beginning. Before the “height“, before the maelstrom of deaths and very typical of American cinema shooting.

Criminal

In summary a bit raster, a hacker known as “the Dutch” (Michael Pitt) developed a tool called “Worm hole” with which to be able to use all the desired weaponry (which be accessible digitally) and tries to change it for security and money to the United States. The agent of the CIA charge of the try is Bill Pope (Ryan Reynolds) which dies to hands of a team of assault commanded by Hagbardaka Heimbahl (Jordi Molla), an anarchist Spanish that wants to the hole of worm for put in check to any nation.

The Dutch get to hide but the secret is known, the opening of all the safety systems global hanging by a thread. The only solution that can work is the investigation of a doctor (Tommy Lee Jones) with the implanted memories of one living being to another. Although it is only tested on mice, and is to be tested in human years, Quaker Wells (Gary Oldman) senior CIA, moving all necessary wires for implanting memories of agent Pope in the damaged a criminal without moral mind nor distinction between good and evil called Jericho Stewart (Kevin Costner).

He use of this criminal is crucial, since with the damage produced when was small makes that its part moral is “in white”, and can thus pass temporarily the mind of Pope to Jericho. Wells decides to take Jericho’s jail for intervention and when everything seems to have failed, they discarded it. Jericho begins to have mental problems, feelings and memories that are not theirs. And all the world you pursues, wanting to the location of the Dutch and the codes of destruction.

Criminal

In that could transcribe is the first 20 minutes of this film of almost two hours of duration. A thriller of action (with more action to thriller) where what sobran are those shots. The director israeli Ariel Vromen is of convince us of the importance of fix all based shooting with some effects special very superior to it dear, violence here and beyond and a sonority very own of the gender action.

Being effects in time to see the movie (just leaves room for the Viewer to stop and think) going by metro from the projection and writing notes I realized ever more urgent need to use the action to avoid one depth greater than one more interesting plot, a great tribute to “face to face” by Cage and Travolta.

This plot is diluted in liters and liters of blood, dozens of dead and flashes of explosions, as if outside something secondary, something unnecessary. And therein lies the real problem of Criminal, to give priority to the action against a dense argument. What immediate and striking against a plot deep and well located. True is also, I break a launches in favor of them scenes of action, being very fast-paced and Visual.

Actions are sublime, rising above the others (in order) Gary Oldman (“Dracula”, “Hannibal”, the Nolan “Batman” saga), Jordi Mollà (“Riddick”, “Blow”) and Kevin Costner (“Waterworld”, “Dances with Wolves”, “Robin Hood, Prince of thieves”).

Conclusions of Criminal

Criminal teaches us what is wrong in choosing the easy way worked, the bad thing that nowadays there is in the film industry, the need to put shots to nearly all the shootings, in choosing the fleeting tension (for viewing) rather than the palpable tension (which forces you to spend some time at the movie join all the ropes and point out the culprit of all reaction) but at the same time teaches us a fast-paced story with believable characters (not all, obviously), with a deep plot and a good helping of action and debauchery.

In the end, is what we are going to the movies, isn’t it? To have fun us, to distance us from our problems, to use two hours of our time in admit that are more striking them lives invented full of shots, blood and explosions, that go to work all them days. And Yes, in itself is a good film, fine performances and a Kevin Costner brutal and visceral that is far from the usual image of White Knight.
