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.
