Dead Man Down. Collin Farrel
and Noomi Rapace
When the advertising for this
movie was playing last year, I remember seeing the star,Farrel, running around
shooting. So when I started the movie, its what I expected, however that is not
what I got for most of the film. One hundred
and fifty minutes of a noir revenge thriller, that is with the exception of the
last ten minutes. I have to admit that
the two main characters, Farrel and Noomi, enthralled me and I actually cared
about what they were feeling.
This movie had it’s moments
that sent me back to a black and white era all the while increasing my
heart rate. I thought the movie was evenly paced with a steady growth of
characters considering there is only about two hours worth of film here.
I have to say I was
disappointed with the ending. (Spoiler ahead)
The cliché big shoot out was waiting
at the end of this movie. I would have liked to see something more simple yet
more satisfying. Over all, due to what movies are out there, I have to say this
is a modern noir that will leave you content with the two hours you gave it.
