Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
adonis98-743-186503 A dramatic thriller that weaves together the stories of an array of people from disparate social backgrounds through their intersecting relationships. The main problem with 360 is that some of it's characters are simply not that interesting like Jude Law's and Rachel Weisz's by the way speaking of this 2 i feel that all of those popular names like Weisz, Law, Anthony Hopkins and Ben Foster although they did a decent job their characters could be played by anyone either they loved the script or the paycheck was damn good. The acting is nice and some of the stories have depth like Hopkins as a grieving father or a man that works for the wrong people and wants to change his lifestyle but the film doesn't go anywhere at times and promoting it like those 4 big actors are the main leads was bad marketing to say the least. Overall 360 means well but it doesn't have a lot of strength to stay in one piece without eventually falling apart. (5/10)
highwaytourist When one sees all the talent that came together, you'd expect a really good movie. There is a premise with much promise, which was written by acclaimed British screenwriter Peter Morgan, directed by respected director Fernando Meirelles, and features some top acting talent from around the world, notably Anthony Hopkins. It's beautifully photographed in various parts of the world. So why didn't it work? Mainly because no one was given anything interesting to say or do. It's one of those connections movies with an ensemble cast, which had been done so effectively in movies like "Short Cuts" and "Magnolia", and it's hard to say how disappointing this film was. It wasn't a terrible movie, but it's so shallow, uneventful, and mediocre that I spent some two hours just waiting for something interesting to be said. I could have spent two hours at the airport observing various people and come up with something more interesting. As one critic put it, "It's a dull world after all."
simona gianotti The idea of narrating different linked stories of characters is certainly not new and the material in this picture is quite abundant: a lot of complex characters, a lot of deep and tense backgrounds. The limit was that the director probably wanted to explore too many characters and too many situations, and the result is that no single story or character is sufficiently developed and seem to be more kept separate than interconnected. The idea that people's lives are connected comes out as banal and evident, as part of any person not living secluded at home, and the fact that in the picture the links go from Europe to the US to Brasil is simply because it deals with dynamic people who move across the world. Some story lines, such as Hopkins' search for his lost daughter could have been explored more deeply, on the contrary it remains faded like the other stories.Nothing to say against shooting, the use of split scenes is effective and tries to underline the idea of interconnections, and the subtle use of camera tries to make the characters' personalities come out, but in the end do not make up for a general underdevelopment. Nothing to say against the talented, but a little wasted cast, who give depth to the characters, although in the end we cannot but miss some more insight and deepening of both characters and stories.
Bene Cumb Fernando Meirelles, an Academy Award and Golden Globe nominee, was evidently able to employ such a great cast (Anthony Hopkins, Jude Law, Rachel Weisz, Ben Foster - above all) thank to his prior fame, and screenwriter Peter Morgan is no amateur either, but the outcome is somehow protracted and arid (however, strange references to my country were included, not often in English-speaking films). Not all the different stories are intertwined (although the characters within have common features like painful memories and unhappy present) and the events and dreams depicted are not catchy to follow - in spite of their reality. Main value of the film are versatile actors of different ethnicities and scenes filmed on the spot, in different locations. Most of stories end up with no clear ending - apart from the Russian-Slovakian storyline; thus, the very ending does not finalise the total 360, letting you feel ambivalent, when the credits appear. The film includes definitely some profundity, but it is not interesting in the sense of spending time.
