During 115 minutes with a cast well lined up such as Woody Harrelson, Kate Winslet, Aaron Paul, Clifton Collins Jr., Casey Affleck, Anthony Mackie, Norman Reedus, Chiwetel Ejiofor will reflect the worst of a crew of dirty cops is blackmailed by the Russian mob to execute a virtually impossible heist. The only way to pull it off is to manufacture a 999, police code for “officer down.” Their plan is turned upside down when the unsuspecting rookie they set up to die foils the attack, triggering a breakneck, action-packed finale filled with double-crosses, greed and revenge.
Corruption is the main subject with an intriguing story with the most interesting Russian mob matriarch played by Kate Winslet. The best element of the film is desperation for all the characters mainly the Russo-Jewish mafia. Some death sequences are full of gore style and definitely this film is full of duality in many shootouts and standoffs.
Here are some members of the cast in press conference:
Aaron Paul:“After 10 years, my experience is much better. My character is part of a great cast full of intense parts and humanized. Definitely this film will get your attention, my character is stealing with the others and is surrounded by bad souls and he has emotional struggle. Even there was a brotherhood in each character and in real life we like well each other and make jokes when we see us. There’s a part when I came back to life for the intense moments that all are involved. Many scenes were very emotional and intense.
Norman Reedus:“The best part was when I prepared my character on the physical appearance with creative tattoos full of details. Is very interesting when you have projects like these and have a great chance when you share with celebrities as Kate and directed by John who makes incredible films.

Inspired by true events, Eddie the Eagle is a feel-good story about Michael “Eddie” Edwards (Taron Egerton), an unlikely but courageous British ski-jumper who never stopped believing in himself – even as an entire nation was counting him out. With the help of a rebellious and charismatic coach (played by Hugh Jackman), Eddie takes on the establishment and wins the hearts of sports fans around the world by making an improbable and historic showing at the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics. From producers of Kingsman: The Secret Service, Eddie the Eagle stars Taron Egerton as Eddie, the loveable underdog with a never say die attitude.
During 76 minutes a real human being who pursuits his dreams with dedication, discipline and triumph is a great pleasure of life. “Eddie The Eagle” is that and so much more full of enthusiasm, and a special athlete who raises triumph and becomes in a real Britain hero for the Olympic Games in 1988. Eddie is a hero of the sports, pragmatic, easy company and someone who never gave up in front of the smallest difficulty. fearless and courageous. Hugh Jackman in his role could have been the greatest ski-jumper of all time, if ego and drink hadn’t gotten in the way but his incredible perseverance as coach made his role one of the best.

The film was inspired by the real-life journals of two explorers (Theodor Kock-Grünberg and Richard Evans Schultes) who traveled through the Colombian Amazon during the last century in search of the sacred and difficult-to-find psychedelic Yakruna plant.
Embrace of the Serpent from director Ciro Guerra who reflects a poetic film and It’s a tense, trippy, emotional and full of adventures and if you go into it just looking for metaphors and symbolism about colonialism and indigenous culture, you will find those things. During 2 hr. 3 min.you will see the real redemption of the white colonials with the best images of the jungle even are in black and white.

During 1 hr. 40 min. the most unconventional anti-hero, Deadpool tells the origin story of former Special Forces operative turned mercenary Wade Wilson, who after being subjected to a rogue experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers, adopts the alter ego Deadpool. Armed with his new abilities and a dark, twisted sense of humor, Deadpool hunts down the man who nearly destroyed his life.
A perfect film based on love, humor and action are well combined. Despite being a failed Marvel Comics’ superhero, this character reflects some pure feelings and looks unbreakable. Reynolds is terrific, brave, straight forward in a comic way with his opinions and frantic nature. This might be enjoyable for some viewers with clever pre-emptive strike silly stereotypes and basically becomes in an original antihero with no limits of violence, sex, and cynicism. Definitely a character that would be consider the best mutant of salty humor and great humor.

Magnolia Pictures will open Danish filmmaker Tobias Lindholm’s (Writer/Director of A HIJACKING; Co-writer of THE HUNT and “Borgen”) bruising and brooding third feature, A war, begins with commander Claus M. Pedersen (Pilou Asbæk, star of the upcoming sixth season of Game of Thrones) and his men are stationed in an Afghan province. Meanwhile, back in Denmark, Claus’ wife Maria (Tuva Novotny) is trying to hold everyday life together with a husband at war and three children who are missing their father. During a routine mission, the soldiers are caught in heavy crossfire and in order to save his men, Claus makes a decision that has grave consequences for not only him, but also for his family back home. As Lindholm did with his gripping hostage drama A HIJACKING, he once again employs those who have been closest to the conflict. In A war he uses Danish soldiers and Taliban warriors, relatives and refugees, as he strives towards realism. Definitely is a film that involved ethics and legal chaos in the battled field. Therefore, many parts of the plot were well managed with sensitivity and detail. Many scenes reflect the humane side and the stressful moments of a martial court. Be a commander officer means to accomplish any kind of duty and foremost to ensure the safety of his soldiers and to treat all Afghans, without distinction, as potential enemies. The best and well rounded characters and brilliantly played in each scene.
A portrait of a bad brotherhood in “Rams”
By Jenny A.
In a secluded valley in Iceland, Gummi and Kiddi live side by side, tending to their sheep. Their ancestral sheep-stock is considered one of the country’s best and the two brothers are repeatedly awarded for their prized rams who carry an ancient lineage. Although they share the land and a way of life, Gummi and Kiddi have not spoken to each other in four decades. When a lethal disease suddenly infects Kiddi’s sheep, the entire valley comes under threat. The authorities decide to cull all the animals in the area to contain the outbreak. This is a near death sentence for the farmers, whose sheep are their main source of income, and many abandon their land. But Gummi and Kiddi don’t give up so easily – and each brother tries to stave off the disaster in his own fashion: Kiddi by using his rifle and Gummi by using his wits. As the authorities close in, the brothers will need to come together to save the special breed passed down for generations, and themselves, from extinction. This film has unpredictable plot with certain compassion through the main characters. The best part is that in each family one member always will be a brother, who dominates more than the others especially when your brother is your worst troublemaker neighbor but a particular issue makes that these men have support as would have been better from the beginning. Definitely Rams feels of a master piece from Iceland with great style and engaging to see it.

Starring Omero Antonutti, Saverio Marconi, and Marcella Michelangeli, all of them come from the real experience of writer Gavino Ledda, the film finds impoverished Sardinian boy Gavino forced to quit school by his overbearing and abusive father. Committed to the traditions of his homeland, Gavino’s father feels his son is of more use to the family as a shepherd than a student. As he matures, the adult Gavino finds his way in the world, first by discovering music and then by learning a trade while serving in the military. The performances of the actors are great and never overdone and in general all these three films are timeless, with an imagery. The style of the director is unique, isolated and cruel but also full of uniquely intense life and nostalgic beauty.
