Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?

Donald Seymour This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Prismark10 This German set remake of a French erotic thriller, lacks little of Brian De Palmas's visual flourishes apart from one ballet set scene.Christine (Rachel Adams) is an advertising executive in the fashion world in Germany who is angling for a big promotion at her firm's New York office. She has taken credit of her assistant's ideas, Isabelle (Noomi Rapace) and the promotion is all but guaranteed. However this is now in jeopardy when Isabelle impresses her bosses with a social media campaign that goes viral.So mutual jealousy at work spills over to their personal lives. Isabelle is having an affair with Christine's lover Dirk (Paul Anderson.) Dirk is also siphoning money from the advertising company which Christine has been covering up for.None of the characters are likable, eve Christine has casual affairs. Once her promotion is at risk, she humiliates Isabelle at every turn and when Christine is found dead, Isabelle being a prime suspect.De Palma is a long way from his glory days of The Untouchables or Carlito's Way. He is hampered by a modest budget and a script that he co-wrote. Too many times he has to fall back on dream sequences and just characters doing stupid or nasty things. For example what was that about Isabelle crashing her car into the car park columns? When Isabelle was given evidence of Dirk pilfering the company, she had enough to finish Christine off for good.The film has a lesbian subtext which is weak but works better with another character but it still comes across as misguided.

denis888 Why? Anybody can explain how this mind-boggling, brain-eating, sense- devoid, style-galore, acting-non-existent, dross galore, vapid, cloudy, senseless, silly, corny, dud, stupid joke of a film ever made it onto big screen? De Palma was never my favorite, here he proved to be The epitome of a terrible bad tats once again. Acting? I love both gorgeous Rachel McAdams and Noomi Rapace, they're sweet, cute. talented ladies. Here - no acting, no style, no deep feelings, no nothing. They play so unbelievably bad that my jaw dropped. The plot? Nothing. Just many good settings and no action, no suspense, no tempo, no twists, no real idea. It seems that the script was being written just in course of making the film and thus it delved into some idiotic hues of comedy, thriller, some vapid erotica and some silly long, overblown frames with long look into the camera, false pretensions and senile jokes. Erotica? Nope, even such two beautiful ladies did not attract us here, they are both cold, stiff, playing like amateur teens on a prom night. Music? The worst case just like when something kinda tragic is about to occur, a loud burst of pathetic strings goes Booom! Bah-baaah! Silly. This is probably The worst film I saw in 15 years, I feel so miserable and also wanna laugh - wow, such awful blobs still happen. Never watch this. Never.

brchthethird Despite being tonally inconsistent and silly at times, it's a (somewhat) welcome return to form for De Palma, even if his Hitchcock-aping doesn't really take effect until the last act. Structurally and tonally, one can divide this movie into three parts: The first is kind of like a dramedy (suggested by the soundtrack), the second is more of a melodrama and the third (and final) act goes into full WTF mode as De Palma pulls every trick in his admittedly small book and tries to get the viewer to question the reality of everything they see. As such, the movie isn't really that effective until this section, with most of the prior dialogue seeming sophomoric and shallow, much like the relationships and characters in the film. Still, this movie is worth watching for that final act. It's style over substance, but it's got quite a sense of style.

dollydiabolique The storyline is laughable, the soundtrack is genuinely borderline between comical and plain awful. The majority of the acting is dreadful. It is not well-shot, the directing is poor; genuinely the film has no redeeming features. However, it is compulsive viewing as you have to watch it the end to ensure it's really as bad as you think it is. And in the end, it is. Rachel McAdams and Karoline Herfurth are the only two people in this film who do it any justice, in that, they are the only two people in the film who come across as capable of acting. As for everyone else, it also comes across that post-production did them no favours what-so-ever. A poor film that probably had the potential to be alright. The sets, costumes and locations are impressive, and that is about it.
