I haven't written so much here recently, This could mean that I am just plain lazy or that I am living in the real world, neglecting the virtual one and also neglecting these notes for my later reference.
What to say of a movie that has the doubtful reputation to be the most expensive film from Finland. In times of financial crisis it would have been better if they had used the money more meaningful.
This was shown at the Copenhagen Film Festival. I really need to stop thinking that only because something is shown at a festival makes it worthwhile. This one was junk.
Who will watch such stuff? Who is the target audience? Grown-ups? Hardly! Maybe this is something for big boys and other people before adulthood and maturity.
The most powerful man in the world? Right, the President of the United States of America. The least powerful man in the world? A boy from the rural Finland who needs to go through a rite de passage to become a man. Bad odds. Add a handful of terrorists that want to shoot down and kill said President and construct a situation in which only the skills of a Noble Savage can save the president. That doesn't sound interesting and it isn't. There are different action circles, chasing and shooting and what else is supposed to be an integrated part of a thriller. Will the murderers win? Any qualified guesses?
2/10 - feeling generous
