Hottoceame The Age of Commercialism
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Madilyn Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
grandmastersik A French-Canadian action film... I wasn't too hopefully going in but have learnt not to judge a film on a nation's industry, and this one was a damn good surprise!An underground car racer meets the love of his life whilst recovering from a crash in hospital and even though she's suffering from a terminal heart disease, he won't give up on her.That's the premise, and from that we're taken on one heck of a ride as the lead - a fantastic performer I'll have to keep an eye out for - too stubborn or perhaps stronger than most of us will ever be, does anything and everything he can to keep his true love alive.I won't delve more into the plot, because the way the film unfolds, doing so would be to spoil it somewhat, but if you're after a film that can keep you on the edge of your seat with adrenaline rushes AND drama, you could do a hell of a lot worse than to give this little Canadian flick a viewing.Recommended.
Maciste_Brother NITRO is a French Canadian wannabe action in the FAST & FURIOUS kind that fails on all levels: action, story, acting, believability. It's one groaner after another. The story is totally silly and because the main star is about 5 feet tall, it's simply impossible to be impressed by any of the over-compensating machismo going on. The night racing scene, with the ugly woman in cut-offs, is priceless. Watching everyone act ghetto during what was supposed to be the film's highlight was truly embarrassing. The strip club scene was hot & compelling thanks to those quick edits which told us that it was supposed to be hot & compelling because the lack of acting abilities from its main star wasn't helping the director. The characters were all one dimensional and uninteresting. Only the cinematography was OK.Seriously, this film is to be avoided at all cost.
BirdmanT7 I read some of the reviews here and I can't believe people bash this film for all the wrong reasons?. I mean lets say if Tarantino made the same film in Hollywood or some other action director but in the US and market the hell out of it the you people would praising it instead of taking punches at it.This movie had more depth than most Hollywood films wish they could ever have, I wouldn't be surprised it Hollywood remake their own version of it in the next few years?.Max is anything but perfect and the film does not make him to be this nice great guy, and that is what people seem to miss the point here, this is NOT some hero. This was guy who had no care in the world for anything other racing and having a good time until he meets "Alice" in the hospital and slowly grows up. You can see from the scenes of his past and his memory from the time they leave the hospital he realizes that being with ALice means he has to change who he is; he can't race or steal cars anymore because being with Alice is something he is never had. The scenes from his past with her and who is become in tghe present are a clear indication of it. The director was very subtle in the use of the flash backs but very effective because it is like how we reflect on some past events at times in our own lives.The film takes many turns and it is not define itself to be a action film because right in the midst of the action there is some very intimate scenes like when he meets up with his old girl friend Moragane. I don't know how or why some people compare this film to "Fast and the Furious" but this is far above "FF" can ever live up to as far storyline goes. This actor "Guillaume Lemay-Thivierge" whom I really have never seen or familiar with his work really did a great job both the action and the very emotional scenes that made Max a human with errors, like all of us. So yes he is crazy and stupid than most of us and the film makes that clear from the very start of this film when he is racing. At one point he tells Moragane that all I care about is about saving my girl friend and I don't care what I have to go through to save her.Max did screw up by killing the cop and again this is given to you about him as a desperate man to do anything to save his girl friend. It does not make you have any sympathy but to show Max's idea of love. The essence of this whole film is really about love, he loves Alice, Morgane loves Max; she didn't give up on him when he kept running from her. There is a great scene when he is singing to the little boy on the phone the song his mother use to sing for him, that was so unusual to see in a film packed with such intensity and these are scenes that made this film so different and so interesting.The ending was not as predictable as most of you say it was, I thought he will deliver the heart but to my surprise his Van crashed. How could say you see that Moragane's death was predictable and her life is what saves Alice's life?.. You can see that Max is still going to jail when the cops are standing by the hospital room, so was this truly a happy predictable ending?I don't know what is the standard these days that you people compare films to?...but each film should be judged based on its own merits and not compared or expected to live up to Hollywood films.
espresso114 I think the film was, good, but Max, I think he was mad.I can go along with his passion to save his girlfriend but it's not realistic to kidnap and take the heart of some poor bastard he knew little about. We got to know too little about Max father and who he was and what business his father had. How did he meet Morgane? Who was the advocate? I think the play between Morgane and Max was very good. It hurt when she drowned in that water. Then it looks like she was becoming brain-dead and ironically gave heart. It could be another way to do this story on. Action scenes was very good and Max performing these himself,the most scenes.The planning was bad for the heart extraction.Max should think the advocate could figure out where he took the cop.Max talking about a heart and kidnapping the cop.There was no need for high IQ to figure that out. It seemed Max acted in panic.It could have been a great movie. The film leaves a bad taste. It was such a bad ending.
