Inferno (2016)
Managed 10 minutes into the movie
After having a stressful working week, with a slight headache I made the mistake to consider this movie being a nice start into the weekend. What could go wrong? Tom Hanks, the adaption of a Dan Brown movie... no expectation on a specific exciting film.
When it started in hectically flashing sequences, I took this as means to show the physical and mental state of Langdon. But it got worse. Shaky camera, fast sequences during escape scenes. And then, finally, after 10 minutes into the movie... Langdon on a couch. And even there the camera can not be steady. Never ever seen such a static scene being that shaken up. Constantly camera movements left and right and up and down. Never a fixed focus.
I mean, Hardcore:Henry, it features a first person view in a kind of experimental way. You can watch it and still not become sea sick - and enjoy.
This is like a drunk doing a YouTube movie. Sorry, but what I saw - and also just read - makes it not such a masterpiece to enjoy ending the film with a wrong ending and a bad headache.
Waste of bucks, for me.
License to Kill (1984)
Don't buy it on DVD without knowing what it is about
A box showing current Denzel Washinton with an automatic gun and a synopsis that let's you expect a film like Man on Fire looked promising.
But despite what the cover promises, you end up with a badly dubbed (at least German version) below standard lawyer TV film without any surprises or tension. Denzel Washington appears for just a few scenes, playing a overburdened attorney without the possibility to show his brilliancy as actor and the rest of the cast is acting uninspired either.
Granted, for a 80s TV film, it might not be that bad, and without the feeling of being cheated to buy it, but watching it on TV on a very boring day, the rating would be a 3 out of 10. Given the circumstances, this shameless attempt to get another buck out of a low budget production deserves the worst rating of all.
