Infinite (2021)

A guy full of unexplained knowledge and suffering from schizophrenia, finds out that appearances are definitely deceiving and he is in fact a multi-reincarnation of the same man.

'Infinite' is (yet another/)an action movie by Antoine Fuqua from 2021, without cops this time. Mark Wahlberg has the gift of being popular and likeable in pretty much anything, and although the subject is largely derivative (see similar other projects in cinema - like Wanted, Divergent, Boss Level - and in TV - like Altered Carbon or The OA), 'Infinite' manages to still be entertaining and non-boring.

Director:  Antoine Fuqua     

With: Mark Wahlberg, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Sophie Cookson, Dylan O'Brien

Rating: 7/10

The Guilty (2021)

A demoted policeman becomes intensely involved after getting a call from a kidnapped woman while he works on the 911 call service.

'The Guilty' is another cop thriller by Antoine Fuqua. Intense as usual, but different in style, mainly due to the lack of visual presence of all the characters except for Jake Gyllenhaal's, which sometimes reminds the viewer of 'Locke' (with Tom Hardy). The idea of ​​the story has its merits, but it is predictable at times, however that does not decrease the suspense or the intensity of the eyes and the acting of Jake Gyllenhaal who as usual gives everything he has in another somewhat unusual role.

Director:  Antoine Fuqua   

With: Jake Gyllenhaal, Riley Keough, Peter Sarsgaard, Christina Vidal, Paul Dano

Rating: 8/10

Brooklyn's Finest (2009)

Drama puternica si apasatoare, dusa remarcabil in spate de o serie de actori de renume care dau tot ce au mai bun in frunte cu un Ethan Hawke complet transfigurat, care reuseste sa fie ceea ce ar fi trebuit sa fie Crash cu sase ani in urma, desi aici avem un univers mult mai restrans, axat doar pe zona politie/criminalitate. Trei oameni dau viata la trei caractere si tipologii complet diferite aratand nevoia incercarii de a aduce o schimbare si totodata futilitatea de uneori a aceluiasi gest.

Regie: Antoine Fuqua
Scenariu: Michael C. Martin

Cu: Ethan Hawke, Richard Gere, Don Cheadle, Wesley Snipes, Ellen Barkin, Will Patton, Vincent D'Onofrio, Lili Taylor
