Summit Fever (2022)
Can't believe people are enthousitic about it
Seeing the reviews here I am amazed. I mean, the script (if you know nothing about climbing) is pretty bad. Just a quote:
"You look alike, the same big brown eyes.", talking about the main character and his dead sister. One shot later you can clearly see his eyes, which are blue.
Then the climbing. Oof. I've spend some time with people who breath climbing, by which I'm trying to say I know little from personal experience, but quite some from friends. Basics like saying "you want to reach the summit before sunset" is weird, since you'll be climbing during the hottest part of the day. People who do mountaineer start early, way early, to reach the summit as early as possible too.
Anyway, this film felt like it didn't research enough, didn't portrait the climbing community in a good way, whilst showing the worst part of climbing; death. To me it almost felt like a mockery, having known too many people who died climbing.
Girlfriend liked it, even though she knows about the same stuff I do, it didn't bother her and she really got in to it.
The ending, we both agreed, was kinda meh.
Assassination Nation (2018)
So ... I don't know, that I liked it!
This film is interesting. It is different than expected in many ways: no full carnage by the main characters, but some brutal violence out of the blue. No great story, but some nice turns that make up for the absence of it.
The reason I gave this film 7/10 and not lower, is because it kept me interested the whole way and some chills because of the (okay, infrequent) awesome shots (combined with great music).
The reason I gave this film 7/10 and not higher, is because of the many missed opportunities. And boy there were a lot.
Overall I'd say; go watch this some time with a beer and some friends, don't expect too much, and you'll have a great evening!
Onze jongens (2016)
Oof...
First of all I'd like to mention that I've watched this film with my girlfriend. I've seen Magic Mike and if you're a non-Dutch person I'd say go watch MM and not this one.
The film itself is decent, some humour and somehow no nudity which is weird for a Dutch film? The acting is okay as well.
I gave this rating because, compared to the good Dutch films (we have some!) this one doesn't stand out at all. Nice to watch on the television but if I were you I wouldn't spend money on it.
