Pitcures Of Brazilian Teak Floors

Unstoppable - Out of control

Year: 2010
Director: Tony Scott
Distribution: 20th Century Fox

The Cinema of Tony - Anthony - Scott has long since taken a comes, we might say, "popular". Let me explain. Run out of ideas on the spy-story series, and finished the kinetic experiments starring bounty hunters ("Domino") or former alcoholic bodyguard ("Man on Fire"), now the director of cult like "Top Gun" and " Spy Game, "for some time is spent dealing with America after September 11. What protagonists were humble people (firemen, drivers, controllers, etc..) In the middle of panic. The previous "Pellham 123 - Hostages underground" in some way could be described as a prequel, a prequel to this ideal of "Unstoppable - Out of control." Indeed, we have the same protagonist, the favorite actor Denzel Washington, we have a similar environment, there underground, the trains here, and we even have a narrative structure that, wanting to be picky, Tony Scott slavishly follows a decade now, with a few variations on the theme. We speak here of the so-called "story comment" basically mean a film in which not only see what is happening, but several characters outside the story, as were the comments on a talk show, often looking to turn the situation from a television.

In "Unstoppable - Out of control" have it all. Two characters, good actors but frankly not credible in the role as the young Chris Pine and Washington, are found to be the last hope of stopping a moving train ended up accidentally human error out of control. Of course there are the cliches of the genre: this train is transporting highly toxic / flammable, and is directed against the traffic travels at high speed toward a highly populated area of \u200b\u200bsmall families happy. The panic rises, but not in the room ...

The problem is that Tony Scott is proposing a subject exceeded the time limit for action films of today. His "Unstoppable" could be good ten, maybe even twenty years ago, but now appears more as a tired recycling of ideas already seen. The main character runs into cattle cars, the couple is unable to send it all to hell, there 's former marine who failed in his attempt to save everyone, the chief of operations is an incompetent, and the beautiful round (Rosario Dawson ) - looks a bit '- it's also intelligent and knows how to wink. In short, the festival already seen. The director, in this case is not so convincing as many films. Tony Scott film could also make the subject "shaky" (think the same "Domino" and "Deja Vu"), but they undoubtedly made with a director of character. Clear visual ideas, expressions of his idea of \u200b\u200bcinema. In this case, his hand looks a little 'more tired, less inspired than usual. Thus was a good film that just the idea that ordinary people have to drive the story. But to Hollywood, but that of the World.
