Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.
ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Jonesy Was looking forward to seeing this, but the immediate use of the handy cam or "shaky cam" got me too annoyed and distracted to really get into it. Had to turn it off after 10 minutes.. Did get me interested in the subject though.
robertemerald Make no bones about it, this is an edge of your seat horror movie. It is also highly original. I can't think of another movie that comes close to comparing with it. That such originality is based on fact is highly disturbing on its own. I've seen movies that deal with similar subject matter but this is in a class above. If you really want to enjoy it, or offer the experience to others to enjoy, then go into it as blind as possible. I only grabbed it because I think Emma Watson is a fine actress and I like good political/historical thrillers. I got that from the DVD cover, which was the first I'd heard of it, and bought it. Within ten minutes of putting it on I was literally glued. I had to take a break half way through as the tension was unbearable. It twists and turns, surprises often, sets your teeth on edge, hits your emotions and scares the hell out of you at the same time for a solid eighty minutes. The heroes are so real and brave and understated. The villains are so horrible. This is classic movie making and will probably remain at the cutting edge of its genre long after we're all gone.
Fallen Eye So, was this film based on true events, like how Titanic was based on true events, because, what Lena and Daniel went through, is straight out of a movie.Without this picture showing us the true nature of what it means to be a part of the cause Daniel was fighting for, his brethren seem pretty selfish, cowardice and without integrity. They just seemed all too willing to allow Daniel to fend for himself.For me personally, it would've made more sense for the Allende ers to be the ones who orchestrate some sort of rescue, instead of Lena, seeing as, the strength of Lena and Daniel's bond is a mystery. If anything, given what she said when she entered his home, one would believe they're only just really, getting acquainted. Unless, that was their idea of playful banter and flirting.Nevertheless, Colonia is quite intense, and Emma Watson gives a charming performance. Daniel Bruhl, perhaps not his best outing, but, he is proficient, and the composition is very capable. The plot and story kept a gripping enough pace and what happened to Ursel, was somewhat heartfelt.A capturing, 7/10.
Nikron Chemist Kushari The synopsis of this movie is slightly vague and it is for the best. It is way more dark and complex that you might think initially. The atmosphere is set very well and the actors from Emma Watson and Daniel Brühl all the way to simple characters perform very well and make sure you are fully submerged in the dark setting. We definitely need more movies like this as they show the world that we live in and what some people have gone through. Not to forget that establishments like this still exist today in many places around the world.Definitely recommending it!
