By GalaTView Staff

Definitely, is an amazing combination of matriarch, warrior, and wounded bird.

Written & Directed by: Gareth Evans, The Raid 2 with a great cast Iko Uwais, Arifin Putra, Tio Pakusadewo, Oka Antara, Julie Estelle, Ryuhei Matsuda, Kenichi Endo, Kazuki Kitamura involves a fury fighting with Rama and his way out of a building filled with gangsters and madmen – a fight that left the bodies of police and gangsters alike piled in the halls – rookie Jakarta cop Rama thought it was done and he could resume a normal life. He couldn’t have been more wrong.
Rama’s opponents in that fateful building were nothing more than small fish swimming in a pond much larger than he ever dreamed possible. And his triumph over the small fry has attracted the attention of the predators farther up the food chain. His family at risk, Rama has only one choice to protect his infant son and wife: He must go undercover to enter the criminal underworld himself and climb through the hierarchy of competing forces until it leads him to the corrupt politicians and police pulling the strings at the top of the heap.
A great sequel of action and a new odyssey of violence, bone-crunching force him to set aside his own life and history and take on a new identity as the violent offender “Yuda.” In prison he must gain the confidence of Uco – the son of a prominent gang kingpin – to join the gang himself, laying his own life on the line in a desperate all-or-nothing gambit to bring the whole rotten enterprise to an end. For all fight fans should brace themselves for a bruising, blistering ride even the plot is not the best the main characters show their best fighting skills faster, and more lethal than ever. The most curious characters were the Hammer Girl and Baseball Bat Man deserve a spin-off especially with their fights that are full of dynamite but at the end this movie has to contrasts: a beauty in a modern martial-arts epic and brutality, capturing the art of violence with a great style in all the characters involved. Definitely is an awesome movie full of entertainment and fun which suffers from too much potential.
A forbidden love becomes “Breath In” a seductive melodrama

From the Writer/director Drake Doremus works with Felicity Jones a soulful and musical British exchange student Sophie Williams (Jones) comes to New York in search of inspiration. On the surface, Sophie’s host family seems happy enough, but with her arrival to the Reynolds’ Upstate New York home, the private struggles of each family member begin to bubble. In particular, frustrated musician-turned-piano- teacher Keith Reynolds (Guy Pearce) finds long suppressed dreams and desires reignited by Sophie’s talent and inquisitive nature. While Keith’s wife, Megan (Amy Ryan) and daughter, Lauren (breakout talent, Mackenzie Davis) focus on Lauren’s final year of high school, Sophie and Keith are drawn ever closer by their mutual longing for creative expression. Ultimately, Sophie and Keith must confront how much they are willing to sacrifice and what they truly want out of life. The main characters were improvising their dialogue and many times are halting verbal exchanges, half-smiles creating a seductive atmosphere. Innocence, maturity makes a relationship a love affair completely without fireworks due is a prohibited love when Pearce and Jones (both brilliant) when they start to get too close but the big dilemma is if both recognize the dangers ahead. Meanwhile, Jones plays a young woman who seems both fragile and incredibly poised beyond her years, a lethal combination that’s been the downfall of many a married man. Director is at building up the intensity of a scene until the air becomes charged with all the words not being said and the romantic impulses not being acted on. Definitely is a reflect of the lack of sincerity in a fake and unhappy marriage in which both lovers are desperate to believe that neither space, time nor the interferences of others will rupture their bottled passion.
It was a very controlled, well-executed picture in which the flash of passion with great music background which keeps any spectator on the seat without breath.
Andy García is part of “Rob The Mob”

TOMMY (Pitt) and ROSIE (Arianda) have two things in common: a crazy-passionate love for one another and—after they’re caught robbing a florist on Valentine’s Day—prison records. Trying to go straight, Rosie lands a job at a debt-collection agency and persuades Tommy to join her. But soon Tommy is skipping his shifts to do something much more interesting—attend the landmark trial of Gambino-family boss John Gotti where Mafia hit man Sammy “The Bull” Gravano provides graphic testimony that could finally bring him down.Tommy’s fascination with the mob is deeply personal; when he was a boy, he saw his father suffer a brutal beating beat at the hands of local gangsters. So when he hears Sammy name a Mafia-owned social club where no guns are permitted.They also draw the attention of the FBI and veteran mob reporter CARDOZO (Romano), who splashes their unlikely story across the front page of the paper. But while the attacks enrage the mob, Bonanno crime family head BIG AL (Garcia) orders his men only to scare the couple.
It’s a decision Big Al will come to regret. During one of their heists in New York City, 1991 Tommy and Rosie stumble upon a Mafia secret so closely guarded that rank-and-file mobsters don’t even know it exists. To the Feds, it’s the smoking gun they’ve been looking for—a key to finally dismantling New York’s already-faltering crime syndicate. To Big Al, it’s the high cost of his earlier leniency—a mistake he quickly moves to correct.
For Tommy and Rosie, caught between the law and a mob contract, the future all depends on who gets to them first. A film with great casting and the crazy couple (Tommy and his girlfriend) targets of the mafia and the FBI. The mafia guys were perfect, even with having to walk the fine line of being scary, yet likable and comical all at the same time. All these are chasing this couple for some type of list that they stole. However Andy Garcia reflects certain wisdom in his character but a strong temperament and this makes him to fail in his organization. As a film fan you will see some great acting and everyone looks appropriately casts.
Andy Garcia talked about his character: “This guy was covering for long time. I saw pictures of him and his fascination has gone and many pictures of him were away, lost and try to find him but his attorney took all his pictures especially for his wife. I guess this guy was struggling with his real life against he wishes more. This kind of work was disgusting for the story of this couple. My performance was the closest personality, acting each moment was tough sometimes but at the end was important to everybody that this kind of guy would have been behind the bars.”
