The Realist Posted July 11, 2022 Posted July 11, 2022 8 hours ago, coffee_rules said: The Last Duel - Ridley Scott directed , written by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. I admire Rodley Scott and rate him very high. But this is not as good as he can can get. They have tried a Rashomon effect on a simple narration of a conflict. There are 3 narratives of the same story , but there is no ambiguity on the final version which defeats the purpose of Roshomon (the original Kurusawa) rationale. Adam Driver has acted very well , Matt Damon being just adequate. Good BGM, and RS excels in the depiction of medieval Western Europe like always. Last Duel was rather pedestrian. Overall pretty bland apart from the overacting by Ben Affleck and his hairdo. coffee_rules 1

I thought the main character was fictional. Just shocked when i read the real story on Wikipedia. Vijy and Lone Wolf 1 1
Lone Wolf Posted July 12, 2022 Posted July 12, 2022 Finally finished Ryan Gosling's Blade runner 2049... Have to say the best sci fi movie since Interstellar in last decade. Just brilliant.

maniac Posted July 17, 2022 Posted July 17, 2022 Vikram. What a movie lol loved it. Whats the big deal on Fahad Fasil? Decent actor but have seen him in 3 movies now, looks adequate at best. What’s they hype? Kamal Hassan and especially the action director take a bow. raki05 and Stan AF 2
bharathh Posted July 18, 2022 Posted July 18, 2022 Watched Nambi Effect .. loved it. What a crazy life this man had - and to have it topped off by being branded a traitor. Just insane.

I watched the dubbed version in Hindi with some very bad audio (on YT). Stylish with some signature of Guy Ritchie. After the first half when the identity of KH is revealed, it is just slo-Mo incessant repetitive action, with the climax being the worst - tumhari maa hamra kabze mein hain kind of plot. Fahad’s role is wasted in the whole story. Kuch nahin hai in the character Edited July 18, 2022 by coffee_rules

Kuch nahin hai in the character i saw the original version with subtitles even though I can understand a little Tamil on Hotstar/ Hulu I enjoyed the action scenes. I like these kind of mindless action movies Got a John wick kind of vibe. Obviously that’s what the director was going for. Edited July 18, 2022 by maniac
