Ashkal (2022)
Deadly boring
Nothing happens or all the same happens again and again so you're trying to follow a pseudo thriller which isn't one and suddenly it fizzles out! The setting is the same,oppressing ,always in the same construction site. There are a few main characters who hardly talk to one another and at one moment we think there is a clue but it leads to nowhere. It could have been a short film since the length doesn't provide any more information but boredom. Actually, the trailer is largely enough since everything is in it. I was definetly disappointed and the trailer is just a fraud. It is not a thriller at all as it was sold.
The Place Beyond the Pines (2012)
A genuine dramatic thriller
Set in the 80's,the 2 fold story pictures dramatic characters who try to get the most of the situation.Luke wants to quit his senseless life of a stunt motorcyclist to begin anew with a family just in the make-up and Avery wants to move up the ladder quickly to satisfy his ambition. The fourth scenes sets the story of the film with the baptism of Jason:"in the name of the father,the son and the holy spirit.The Christ has freed you from sin and blessed you.Amen".Here is the theme of the film: fathers's heritage.Luke tells Romina in his attempt to form a family "I wasn't around my father and look at the way I turned out" and Avery's father,a former judge advises his son to rat on his colleagues so that he gets promoted.In both cases,the father is either wrong or absent. What will be the result of their responsibility? Luke's son and Avery's son are both junkies and carry a burdening despair.In the end,the message of the baptism gets the better of the situation and gives "a breath of fresh air" as AJ told Jason while smoking weeds.Jason made Avery say "sorry" for the killing of his father and he spares his life.It is absolution in the name of the holy spirit.Jason buys a motorcycle and leaves the town riding away to the West.
