The Lost City (2022)

A recluse novelist is kidnapped by a collector for her archeology knowledge related to the fictional story she wrote.

'The Lost City' is an adventure comedy with a wonderful Sandra Bullock but a weak and unconvincing script. A bit of satisfying fun comes from Brad Pitt's minor role.

Director:  Aaron Nee, Adam Nee 

With: Sandra Bullock, Channing Tatum, Daniel Radcliffe, Da'Vine Joy Randolph, Brad Pitt

Rating: 6/10

Guns Akimbo (2019)

An internet troll upsets the wrong person and is forcefully entered in a life and death race after two guns are permanently attached to his hands surgically.

'Guns Akimbo' is an almost absurdist action film. The plot is a bit ridiculous and probably not very possible, and the action is fast paced, with sudden changes, surprising enemies and unexpected allies. For those who aren't too much of a nitpicker, the film can be very entertaining.

Director:  Jason Howden       

With: Daniel Radcliffe, Samara Weaving, Ned Dennehy, Natasha Liu Bordizzo, Grant Bowler

Rating: 7/10

Swiss Army Man (2016)

Un om ratacit pe o insula parasita da peste un cadavru in care gaseste un camarad neobinsnuit si pentru care gaseste utilizari neasteptate.

O bijuterie de film, poezie pura. Plin de simboluri, ar trebui sa petreci ore incercand sa le descalcesti pe toate. O alegorie a singuratatii si a izolarii cauzate de probleme ale sanatatii mentale filmul reuseste sa mentina atentia si delectarea in ciuda contradictiilor si suprarealismului indelungate. 

Paul Dano e minunat ca personajul principal, un idealist si optimist de nelecuit iar Daniel Radcliffe are un rol atat de neobisnuit ca nu se poate spune decat ca unic si perfect in rolul sau static si aproape mut.

Iar muzica e divina si obsesiva, un al treilea camarad in poveste.

Scenariul: Daniel Scheinert, Dan Kwan

Regia: Daniel Scheinert, Dan Kwan

Cu: Paul Dano, Daniel Radcliffe, Mary Elizabeth Winstead
