I saw "Collide", starring Nicholas Hoult-Mad Max:Fury Road, Jack the Giant Slayer; Felicity Jones-Rogue One:A Star Wars Story, The Theory of Everything; Ben Kingsley-The Walk, Ender's Game and Anthony Hopkins- Westworld_tv, The Wolfman_2010.
This is a fast-paced action movie with some big name stars in it. It had a budget of $29 million but looks and feels like a low budget movie- Maybe Ben & Anthony got big salaries? This is also the first time that Ben and Anthony have worked in a movie together, and both happen to play bad guys. Nicholas plays an American in Europe that works for an eccentric gangster, Ben. One night in a club, Nicholas meets and falls hard for another American, Felicity. She has a problem with him working for Ben-she doesn't want him to get hurt or maybe get into trouble-so he decides to quit and get a normal job. Ben goes to his boss, Anthony, and wants to become an equal partner with him but Anthony refuses, saying that Ben is not as sophisticated as himself. About this time, Felicity gets sick-she needs a kidney or it's night night for her-and Nicholas decides to pull off a heist of Anthony's next drug run just to pay for her operation. Most of the movie is filled with high speed car chases- some on the Autobahn-and fantastic coincidences and unbelievable bits of luck in Nicholas' favor, especially when he escapes Anthony's henchmen in their pursuit of him. The action is fine but they could have used better writers. I guess you could call it 'Fast & Sloppy'; Fast action and Sloppy writing. It's rated "PG-13" for violence, action, language, drug material and sexual content-partial nudity-and has a running time of 1 hour & 39 minutes. It's not one that I would buy on DVD but it would be alright as a rental.
