Mann unter Feuer (2004) Streaming-

A depressingly gory parade of vengeance.. A clumsily condensed mystery/thriller novel made into a movie that offers little more than every other clumsily condensed mystery/thriller novel made into a movie.. The picture is joyless and perfunctory. Call it Mission: Possible.. Easily the best of the recent spate of cynical and violent revenge/vigilante dramas.. Despite a red-hot performance by Washington as the antiheroic, self-annihilating title character, the film as a whole, while possessing a k...

Hancock (2008) Film Abspielen

Gets lots of mileage from a combination of high spirits, scorn for the laws of physics, readily renewable energy and an emphasis on family values -- not those of the nuclear family, but of hell-raising, drag-racing outlaws.... . The young "Four" cast appears to have been plucked from an Abercrombie & Fitch catalogue - which isn't an issue until you realize that the characters they're playing are about as thin as the pages in that Gen-Y fashion Bible.. Who knew the fourth sequel to The Fast and t...

Pearl Harbor (2001) Online-Streaming-

What to say about a racing movie that's stuck in idle as drama? For starters, don't race to see it... there's nothing to distract you from a plot so tired there are tire tracks from other racing movies all over it.. It's like watching someone ELSE play a video game for more than two hours. That gets old real fast.. In trying for the vicarious varoom of the street-racing video game that inspired it, and no doubt dreaming of "Fast" success, "Speed" clocks in at a long two-plus hours and falls pain...

Jack Reacher (2012) Voll Streaming

A clumsily condensed mystery/thriller novel made into a movie that offers little more than every other clumsily condensed mystery/thriller novel made into a movie.. As the details mount, and the star does what stars do, it starts to seem like a good bag of potato chips. There's no nutritional value, but darned if you don't keep eating.. Jack Reacher is an absurdly self-confident, sociopathically laser-focused detective-bot. That is to say, he's a hero that only Tom Cruise could love.. This is br...

The Raid 2 (2014) Voll Streaming

A movie can have a superb story, amazing cinematography, and mesmerizing writing as well as directing, but without the talent to deliver it all, it finds itself lacking. Great!!. The film conceals as much as it reveals, and its beauty is that it pretends to do nothing else. It embraces a mystery and protects it, and it’s thrilling to behold.. A masterpiece of genre film-making, really worth to watch.. Music perfectly fits with the movie, the story can't tear myself away from the screen for hour...

R.E.D. - Älter. Härter. Besser. (2010) Download Voll

You're never too old for mayhem.. Red is a goofball lament. It's saying that in the good old days, or at least in the good old movie days, our killers were good-time guys.. Old people who kill people are so much cuter than young people who kill people, right? In a movie like RED, that's all we need to know.. Red, perhaps the first CIA-AARP flick, fits seniors with grenade launchers instead of slippers. I say it's about time.. If the story made more sense and the humor were more abundant, this co...

The Last Stand (2013) Download Film

The script is a mess, built on lazy cliches, stilted jokes and easy payoffs. What the movie does have, though, is enthusiasm.. It persistently tries to drag the audience down to its mindless level.. RocknRolla is a recovery from the knockout blows of his past two films but Ritchie is certainly retreading familiar thematic territory.. The whole thing is played for laughs that almost never come.. Pain & Gain weighs about 700 pounds when it ought to weigh 2.. Pain & Gain brings fun to the multiplex...

Ant-Man (2015) Voll Streaming

An exceptionally smart, brooding picture with some terrific performances.. The cast is better than solid. Directed by Peyton Reed, the action is a zippy pleasure. The more Scott shrinks, the bigger the fun. The visual effects are witty, especially when he begins making allies of various ant colonies.. The overwhelming, self-serious sense that we are watching something Very Important blissfully doesn't exist in Ant-Man. It's just plain fun: light, breezy, simple and enjoyable.. Ultimately, there'...

John Carter - Zwischen zwei Welten (2012) Film Abspielen

Wanted's hyperkinetic antics are sometimes weighed down by a surfeit of adolescent misanthropy. But the adrenaline-overdose strategy works for viewers as well as hit men.. A 12-armed heavy-metal drummer of a movie, kicking and flailing through two hours of impossible. The car chase of the year.. There's something generic about the digitally rendered Martians (whatever their stripe and skin tone), and there's a corniness to the dialogue that keeps the audience from any kind of emotional attachmen...

Terminator 5 - Genisys (2015) Film Abspielen

McCarthy has much more to discover about herself as an actor and an avatar and a cultural signifier, and I hope she doesn't get trapped by one role, one genre or one franchise. But her campaign of conquest is going well.. Top-notch effects and a bottom-scraping script make this disaster flick a spectacular bore.. Hollywood is gradually figuring out what to do with Melissa McCarthy.. Feig draws out McCarthy's best, and she's up to the challenge, whether it's expressing tenderness and anger or sla...

Machete Kills (2013) Download Film

Machete Kills dulls more than anything.. "Machete Kills"? "Machete Bores" is more like it.. Robert Rodriguez is America's most frustrating filmmaker.. Machete Kills is a film in which style sardonically routs substance, a cloying gag built around the iconic quality of Trejo's matchlessly craggy face, which resembles a plate of sundried corned beef.. "Machete Kills" is barely a movie. It's an inside joke wrapped in a fanboy fantasy, pieced together through a haze of ironic detachment.. The strong...

Safe House (2012) Beobachten Film

Pompeii has as much to do with realism and history as the average gas station has with gourmet cuisine and fine dining. If you're hankering for something substantive, you'll leave hungry.. "Safe House" has just enough bone density to emit some satisfying cracks and pops whenever the action gets going.. White House Down is the kind of celebration of rampant mayhem in which everyone seems to have a rocket launcher -- or at least a live hand grenade -- at the ready, just in case they need to dispat...

The Italian Job - Jagd auf Millionen (2003) Voll Streaming

This unglamorous approach has the odd effect of making them seem more glamorous -- we're free to soak up their star quality because there's no hard sell to fight off.. Like the tiny cars it features, it's not particularly extravagant or terribly sophisticated. It is amusingly put together and a fun ride.. The Italian Job may not be the most memorable film you'll see all summer, but it's a fairly good alternative to many of the prequels and sequels we have ahead of us.. In a business starved for ...

Batman Begins is for morons.. This movie is an epic action movie that I believe in a few years from now shall be more appreciated than it is today !!. Music perfectly fits with the movie, the story can't tear myself away from the screen for hours. Really GREAT movie!!. This is the single best movie I have ever seen.Thanks for your movie info.. The muscular grit of the action sequences is leavened with nicely judged sarky banter.. The best movie I've ever seen. amazing in every acting of the play...

Sherlock Holmes - Spiel im Schatten (2011) Film-Streaming

This franchise is out of gas.. It may not steal your heart, but you won't feel robbed.. It's complete trash and makes a mockery of Holmes's vaunted deductive reasoning.. This is the zippy remake that Ocean's Eleven wanted to be and wasn't quite.. This is pure entertainment but smart entertainment, plotted and executed with invention and humor and acted by a winning cast radiating good-movie energy.. Like Brian and Dom, Fast & Furious would benefit from more female company. And Vin Diesel's mumbl...

Star Wars: Episode II - Angriff der Klonkrieger (2002) Wiedergabe Von Streaming-

The scale of the enterprise is thrilling; it's too bad the movie is so muddled on so many different levels.. Yes, Episode II is beautifully rendered and better than the last. It's also duller than Tatooine's desert landscape until the last half-hour.. We're The Millers asks you to believe that somewhere in this world there's a pot dealer who prides himself on not selling to kids and a stripper who never takes her bra off.. This is a fantasy with no poetry in it, which explains why barely a frame...

This may be the first and last time anyone says this, but if "How to Train Your Dragon 2" is this good, why stop at 3 and 4?. Hats off to Dreamworks for offering some bold surprises in a respectable sequel filled with moments of humour and emotion among its ample noise and movement.. The film conceals as much as it reveals, and its beauty is that it pretends to do nothing else. It embraces a mystery and protects it, and it’s thrilling to behold.. How to Train Your Dragon 2 is soaring, emotional...

Rock N Rolla (2008) Streaming-

Flashy but assured, the film is a controlled exercise in style that toes the line but never feels over-the-top. In a word, RocknRolla rocks.. Style is what RocknRolla is all about. And it has it in spades, from the cockney Pulp Fiction dialogue to the music-video editing of the rambling narrative.. RocknRolla is a recovery from the knockout blows of his past two films but Ritchie is certainly retreading familiar thematic territory.. Guns, gangsters, and Richie's unique style and tone make his la...

96 Hours (2008) Download Film

The movie proves two things. (1) Liam Neeson can bring undeserved credibility to most roles just by playing them, and (2) Luc Besson, the co-writer, whose actioner-assembly line produced this film, turns out high-quality trash, and sometimes much better.. A fleet, no-nonsense rescue thriller from the crackerjack French director Pierre Morel, Taken is satisfying (1) for the Gaelic gravitas of its star, (2) its slam-bang chase scenes and bone-snapping martial arts, and (3) the scenic backdrops of ...
