Anna

Posted on September 17, 2019 Written by Developer Leave a Comment

I have been a lifelong fan of Luc Besson. He has created some fantastic movies.

The first movie of his I ever saw was La Femme Nikita back in 1990. (You should watch this one)

This is a movie about a down on her luck drug user who gets recruited into a secret organization after she kills a police officer. They trains her to be a perfect sexy assassin.

This was remade into an American movie called “Point of No return” which removed the edgy bits that made the story work out well for me in the original.

This got turned into an American tv series called “La Femme Nikita” that ran for many seasons. (1997 – 2001).

This was relaunched as an American tv show called Nikita (2011 – 2013)

So in short the premise of the movie La Femme Nikita has been milked well by Luc Besson.

In 2014 he did a movie called Lucy, which is about a woman who involuntarily gets involved in a bad deal and transforms into a merciless warrior. (Which is getting a sequel soon)

Now let us get back to the movie Anna I am reviewing.

it is about a down on her luck drug using girl who gets recruited into the KGB and becomes a top sexy assassin for them.

So:

  1. Pretty Girl
  2. Recruitment into some nefarious organization
  3. Perfect sexy assassin .

Again it is a good movie but it feels like a bad remake of Le Femme Nikita and Lucy

But it is a story he has told well many times and people who are not as familiar with his movies this might come off as original.

The Fanatic

Posted on September 11, 2019 Written by Developer Leave a Comment

This was an unexpected gem.
The script is not particularly surprising.
You know where the film is going from the start.

What makes this movie shine is how John Travolta delivered one of his best acting jobs ever. He really went all out for this role and it carries the entire movie.

The rest of the cast is well chosen and work well with Mr Travolta.

The movie is about an obsessive fan who is a social outcast existing on the fringes of society. He passion for his hero grows as the movie toddles along, util he becomes disenchanted with his former hero.

As I said the script is not going to win any Oscars, but I hope Travolta acting will.

Sorry to bother you

This was one of those movies I had no idea what it was about.

The story is about a guy who works as a telemarketer and his rise within the organisation and what sacrifices and awards he picks up whilst on his way up.

That sounds pretty standard, but this movie has a fresh approach,
good actors and it is funny. It can be seen as a sci-fi movie as it takes place in an alternate universe or perhaps ours just a couple of years out.

It features themes like racism, worker exploitation, unions and love.
Dont let that scare you it is a goo film.
