[email protected] ENGLISH REVIEW #MackansFilm TYPICAL NETFLIX FILM It is typical Tom Cruise movie, but not one of his best. To keep it simple, it is a mediocre movie, and the whole story seems mainly concerned to get Tom Cruise to look cool, even now in older age. Some see his attempts to keep the same physics and image that he had 10-20 years ago, as a desperate and pathetic midlife crisis. But I disagree with those critics, and I actually think his efforts are inspiring. He has always given everything in their roles, to create some kind of realism to the character and the movie itself. Just as his enthusiasm for doing his own stunts, so I see this as no more than an artistic way to sell the illusion that what we see in the film, is real. I do not think he cares about trying to stay young. He is an actor, and the majority of the characters he plays are athletic beefy males. Then he must of course be similar to these characters as much as possible, nothing strange about it. However, he must choose the films, with better scripts. The script is a typical action-packed story, which was very predictable. For me there were no scenes that gave any inpakt or stick to memory. They tried to be unique by making Cobie Smulders character more hard and fierce, than the stereotypical female characters in other action movies. It's very good to them, trying to show society that women can be just as harsh and violent as men, however, I think the writer fails properly with it. Cobies character feels so stiff and lacking a personality. She was either, bloody emotional or aggressive stiff. They should have had more scenes that could show more of her personality. Women have more feelings than just two. As for the acting goes, I think there is nothing to complain about. All the actors did well, and it was only the script that weighed down the entertainment. Regarding the technical behind the film, there are improvements that would help. Some scenes are lit either too little or too much. Camera work was okay, they had the proper angle to the right time, however, they fail a bit of a chase scene in an airport when you can see the camera in the reflection on the glass. No major problem, just fun to point out. To round off, I have to actually admit that it is an entertaining film. It has smart people behind it, who really gave their all. If you love classic action films with visually-octane chases, fights and explosions, this is the right film. I recommend it great for an evening at home, when you just want to disconnect the brain and enjoy. .
