Bullet Train (2022)

An unlucky assassin boards a train for a basic mission, but realizes that other assassins are around, having similar intentions.

'Bullet Train' is an action comedy with caricaturist elements, in a similar style to Kick-Ass or Smokin' Aces. Imperfect, but it still keeps the viewer's gaze glued to the screen, curiosity and fascination winning in front of such a rich palette of atypical characters, with unusual traits and the interesting interaction between them.

Director:  David Leitch      

With: Brad Pitt, Joey King, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Brian Tyree Henry, Hiroyuki Sanada, Michael Shannon, Zazie Beetz, Masi Oka

Nocturnal Animals (2016)

Susan este o femeie de succes nefericita ce incepe sa isi analizeze faptele din trecut dupa ce primeste un roman dramatic scris de fostul ei sot.

Un film drama, analitic aproape fara a spune nimic. Toate tacerile sunt bine plasate si cronometrate si pline de subinteles. Romanul mai sus-mentionat constituie un pretext pentru a avea un film in film. Asta ajuta in a evidentia starea mentala a tuturor celor implicati printr-o paralela foarte interesanta a doua traume psihologice foarte diferite dar e si o miscare de marketing, deoarece face posibila tranzitia de la film artistic cu ceva de spus la un film cu atractie comerciala fara a anula nici una din trasaturile de admirat. Apasator dar inteligent si foarte stilizat, Nocturnal Animals e un film fara cusur.

Regia:  Tom Ford
