Rate: superSpy-fuck ups.
While we have already completed the magic number 13 for
the episodes of the 1st season for the “virus-sick” TheStrain (and already done our vaccines…),
where we can admire a small touch of the super-duper GDToro, we continue our english reviews (although I am not English
as you can understand from my writing…) just to satisfy all English reading
victims-fellow sickos who by accident (or by invitation) happened to visit this
blog.
I wouldn’t like to write much about the movie’s plot
since you have to watch it and I wouldn’t like to fill a page full of spoilers,
but I will, since I have to write sth. Correct?
So, here we are at Hamburg, little cloudy and depressing
shithole, where for many many years is like the hole (no shit this time…) of the
Wizard of Oz and everyone is welcome since its harbor is full of ships, containers,
coca (not cola…) and anything your sick imagination can add to this scenery.
The one and only ‘thing’ that interests us for the sake of the movie, is a
Chechen who lost his way and instead of ending up to Kremlin (say hello to my
little ‘bombie’ friend…), he found himself to Germany. Geography and scout’s
direction not his best skills but let’s not judge too strictly a poor misguided
disabled-like illegal immigrant.
The fellow comrade from Chechen (aka Grigoriy Dobrygin) is the one and only rightful
heir of his “beloved” father’s will,
and since he is not interested about the money (yea…right…) he is trying
through a 3rd class hottie lawyer who always rides a bike (aka Rachel McAdams) and specializes in immigrants, disabled people and
generally ‘clients’ who cannot pay her, to give away to charity (WTF!?!) more
or less 10 million Euros. Very important the banker’s role who also got a bank
from his father which specialized in money laundering, loan shark techniques
and distributing wealth only to the right people…aka Willem Dafoe. That’s a proper definition of a BANK institution by
the way.
Of course, all of them are being watched from the BigBrother (aka PSHoffman) and his excellent crew who is ready to move and operate
anytime anyplace and the whole masterplan to trap another fellow Muslim
(eternal enemy of the civilized State…) starts to be deployed calculating all
details from A to Y since Z is the fuck up and it’s not in our hands. Once again
Mr. Homayoun Ershadi is excellent. Needless to say that at the end someone not
only whispers but shouts out loud…FUCK!!!...the Z effect we mentioned above.
The movie is good, maybe too good to be true, having a
constant rhythm (dram dram dram…) and we follow like suckers all events 1 by 1,
waiting who will bite the cheese from the well planned set-up. Once again,
needless to mention but chief plot organizer for the fuck-ups is our favorite
humanitarian service from the other side of the Atlantic Ocean – call me
America or CIA which just wants to save the world and you (yes…YOU…YOU are
trying to prevent her from her divine cause).
Whiskey necessary but in small amounts since we don’t
want to fall asleep during the raid. Stay
alert reee!!!
1 hour and 56 minutes more or less in order to see who
will betray whom. Basically you don’t know what to expect, but you suspect that
we will all be fucked up but things are too simple to get confused trying to
figure out who-what-when-why-etc… The end is as it should have been. Simple,
plain and gorgeous.
Bonus: Very good acting from almost everyone. Our sympathy
for SHoffman is guaranteed and not
negotiable. Quite good the fool Chechen misguided anti-money (since Allah is
with him and does not need anything else..) immigrant. Miss November ride-bike Rachel
does her best too, although her best is not enough to save all of us. We should
not forget goddess Nina Hoss and Daniel Bruhl (Goodbye Lenin has its own place at the 1st shelf – “All
time classics” category…).
Moral lesson / Precept: You never know who will fuck you up 1st. After
the 2nd time you just get used to it. 3rd , 4th
and 5th are just for retention, some people call it “a habit” and
others necessity for pension.
We liked: Yes. Simple and plain with no fuss like every spy’s dream
(except James Bond). In order to make/produce/complete a good spy movie you
don’t need a lot of shit. The one and only secret ingredient is the “plot”, the
story you tell and in this case we have a solid story and good acting together.
Anton Corbijn is the director, who
left his music projects for a while (see/check Control, little bit of Depeche Mode,
Metallica and U2) and now is showing us his balls as Chef with a very
challenging and surprising euro-islam-terrorist salad with remarkable results. Balls
up Anton!!!
Should I watch it? Yeap…
Memorabilia
I don’t want the
money. (sucker…!!!)
You can't undo what's done. (that
is absolutely true…)
Make
the world a safer place.
Fuck...fuck....
Alternative Title:
If you have
friends like these…
Fucked-up Spy.
Follow the money.
