Steineded How sad is this?
Konterr Brilliant and touching
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
meldec2 But the ending not so much. Good action driving. Scenery great, but some of the movie doesn't match the vibrant scenery. Maybe I'm tired if dark movies with pulsating techno yuck music?
Zeech Watching this flabby turkey during a bout of insomnia made us all think 'come back action Hollywood action flicks all is forgiven'. I'd only watch this again as background noise while the beer and pizza arrives and everyone settles in before we watched a real heist action movie Hollywood style.The setting is not LA, NY but home of the EU money makers, Germany although you wouldn't believe it looking at the drab dreary apartments (Hollywood know HOW to make down and dirty look grunge and sexy), then there's the 'acting'. Two major thespians from the theatre wheel out for this, Welshman Anthony H and Anglo Indian Ben K, and they overact in the most cliche way... is this a prostrate thing with old male actors? Then the two young Americans are from the bargain basement, a goofy tooth chick who looks like a strung out crack head. And then there's the action male lead (I refuse to say his name) looking 10 years her junior on account of the intern who did her make up. He is an action hero who can't fight his way out of a paper bag, and keeps raising his hands like a scared kid when anyone shoots at him (c'mon Jason Bourne we need your strong but sensitive aura here). He does do one thing though, and that is to look and act pussy whipped. Playa he ain't! Don't be fooled by any talk of action in this fat flabby turkey. IF anyone says so, it's because it's probably the first film they've seen since they went into their Old Peoples Home 20 years ago, or the're from Cologne and you know what we say about Cologne. 'If I could choose where to die it would be Cologne coz no one would notice if I was alive or dead '
Gordon-11 This film tells the story of an American backpacker, who meets an attractive woman in a German bar. It turns out the woman has a medical condition, so the guy has to turn to the life of crime to fund her operation."Collide" is action packed alright. It is adrenaline fuelled, as it has numerous car chases, fights and shootings. It is quite a departure from the usual Nicolas Hoult's films. I have not imagined him to be in such a role before, but he is believable as a desperate man with much courage and skills. Overall, it is an enjoyable film, making you turn your brain off for 100 minutes.
Michael Ledo While ex-pat Casey Stein (Nicholas Hoult) is in a night club, he meets a bartender, Juliet (Felicity Jones) and they are in love. Julie makes Casey quit his life of crime working for Geran (Ben Kingsley) who deals in cocaine. Later we discover Juliet needs $200,000 for a kidney transplant. Casey gets involved in a crime which includes multiple chase scenes, car wreaks, and he must have gotten shot at 100 times or so...all misses. It was a one man "fast and furious" on the Autobahn.The film was fairly well constructed with only minor "twists" which was simply stuff we didn't see happen. It was primarily an action film first and love story second. The teaser crash scene in the beginning, comes at about an hour into the feature.Guide: No sex or nudity. I don't recall any F-words
