SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Jemima It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
adonis98-743-186503 A massage therapist looking to overcome her addictions and reconnect with her son, whose father is an anthropologist in South America studying the Yanomani people, moves in with a wealthy ex-client in New Jersey. Fierce People is truly a magnificent film about people but also with some very hidden and smart messages and twists along the way. The perfomances were excellent especially Chris Evans, Anton Yelchin and Kristen Stewart have been been better. This is definitely a well made indie film that needs some digging if you wanna love it.
annevejb How the world seems to work depends on who you are. The children of the 7th richest man in the USA are a pattern that I also notice in Woody Allen's musical, Everyone Says I Love You (1996). One of the great musicals. Magnificent: The daughter Maya definitely makes me think of Drew Barrymore's Skylar. Scary: The son Bryce is paralleled by a wider range of characters, subtly different too: Obviously the parolee Charles Ferry, played by Tim Roth. Also D.J. (Natasha Lyonne), Laura (Natalie Portman), Lane (Gaby Hoffmann) and their friend Claire (Barbara Hollander). Possibly also brother Scott (Lukas Haas). For me, these are all cartoons of what often happens to real people in the everyday world, even though these two features are both set in very unreal worlds. Theirs are the worlds of the 'haves'. At the end of the 50% wow I Could Never Be Your Woman (2007), scary Saoirse Ronan, Yasmin Paige, and 'unlisted guitarist' sing their tribute to scary. * When I drift from simply enjoying the story it tends to be to muse about beliefs. To me, that is to properly enjoy this story. Maya and Bryce have different beliefs, but if they are not held in a pure form, they are things that they can have in common, just interpreted in different ways and of a different priority. Nice guy Maya, to take that nice guy core to a pure extreme could make her very fragile, indeed. It would also make it rather difficult for her to be properly nice? Skylar might make me consider differently. Bryce has a very pure form of a belief that in a milder form might talk about questions of justice? Except that with him it is on the level of psycho killer. This is the age where politicians praise and help the strong and penalise the weak, in the UK definitely. Britain has been puritan, in some way or other, for some time. I am reminded of the extinction of the dinosaurs as hinted at in the Jurassic Park series. The small guys sink first, the big guys get bigger, then all fall down. * SPOILERS Out of bad comes good. Bryce had a rather literal interpretation of that. Maya was looking in a different direction entirely, with potential success. Finn followed Bryce's logic, but somehow when it came to the crunch he added a hidden extra. Rite of age, Finn was accepted into the tribe. The beliefs are clear, but reality might need other if things are to be worthwhile. To feel honour bound to the rulebook can create a big problem.
phd_travel The story is about class distinction and how rich people treat poor ones. The initial premise and setting are interesting. But the ending is a little silly. Without giving away the identity - why the villain should be so evil isn't really explained well - it's a bit one dimensional and too much.Anton Yelchin does a good job - he has some screen presence and charm.Diane Lane looks pretty here and acts well.Watched this because I'm a Kristen Stewart fan but it is worth watching otherwise. You can see her getting experience for Twilight.It has mature subject matter but is not lewd.
topdany I'm thinking of some things for this movie: First, really is a very bad movie. This is really "Superbad". The film looked very promising in the trailers but fell flat... Maybe the original idea was good, but between a bad script and bad acting the movie became boring and empty. My advise is don't waste 2 hours of your precious time. You have been warned. This is the first movie I rated 1 star at IMDb.com... Second, none of the characters are likable. You really don't care what happened to them... Third, the villain is very easy to identify. The grandson kills his father, sodomizes the friend's son, get the maid pregnant, smothers his grandfather... Like JT says, "If you like evil with no retribution, this is your movie". Nothing more to say...
