Fast Charlie (2023)
10/10
Didn't expect the humor!
17 December 2023
Alright, so "Fast Charlie" isn't just some deep and intense gangster flick. It's got its share of laughs too, especially those opening scenes with 'Donut.' Man, those parts are hilarious! Brosnan's Charlie and this character Donut - their dynamic is comedy gold. Donut's this kinda goofy guy, and the way Charlie deals with him, it's like a blend of frustration and amusement. It sets up the tone of the movie perfectly, showing you it's not just about the tough gangster life; there's room for some humor too.

And the rest of the movie keeps up with this vibe. Brosnan's character isn't just about being macho; he's got this wry sense of humor that makes the film more relatable. The action and the drama are there, but it's the lighter moments, like with Donut, that add a different flavor to the story.

The cinematography and the soundtrack also play into this. They bring out the contrasts in the film - the tough and the tender, the serious and the funny. It's not just visually appealing; it's storytelling through the camera.

"Fast Charlie" is a great watch for anyone who loves a good mix of action, humor, and story. Brosnan and Baccarin are great, but it's also the supporting characters add an extra layer of entertainment. It's not your typical gangster film; it's got depth, fantastic acting, and a good few laughs.
