Review:
This was not a good movie. It was a good movie, but it will provide two important ways. First of all, two of the three main characters are terrible. Blake Lively does a good feast for the eyes, but he is not only a good actor. Shes not bad in smaller supporting roles (such as the portrayal of town), but they just can not use lead. Unfortunately, the whole film basically revolves around her (and she says), so the limitations brought front and center. Every time his voice came, startled. It really was not a good choice. Taylor Kitsch is no better. Again ... a great feast for the eyes, bad acting. Very bad acting. He just does not have a soul, and brings nothing to her character no. He must be insane Fast & Furious movie playing opposite Vin Diesel, is Oliver Stone drama. Another major failure of this film is even more serious, and it is the story of the structure. We never really get a chance to understand why the three main characters (Chon, Ben and Ophelia) are so strong feelings for each other. We were told that they do, but never a real reason to believe given. This is very important because literally stand the idea of ​​the thickness depends on their relationship. If you are planning to build some unconventional three-way relationship, a dramatic story was better to explain more than a quick scene, how this relationship took place, otherwise the audience know why they should care about the characters. Especially when the actors portraying these characters are not very good to start with. I know I asked myself, why are these two guys sharing a girl, how they have absolutely zero jealousy, why she never once thought of a double cross, and why one of them caring t so deeply for her - to the point of willing to risk their lives to have and to commit horrible atrocities to save her. Where did all this love and loyalty come from? It is never adequately explained, and the whole film suffers greatly it.On a positive note, the veteran players did a good job. Benicio Del Toro was great as psychotic cartel underboss, John Travolta chew the scenery pieces and Salma Hayek was completely believable role. Unfortunately, the powers only for information leading to the incompetence of the younger underscore. You can tell that the best scene in the whole movie was between Del Toro and Travolta, in which none of the three players everywhere, and hinted at the promise of this lost film. Many of the reviews his disagreement with violence depicted in the film, but I had no problems with it. You really cant make a movie Mexican drug cartels without violence, so I do not feel gratuitous. Unfortunately, it is not the film is no longer credible to do a lot of perspective.Overall I do not think that this is a very good movie. I do not think Stone felt completely comfortable with what he was doing here, sometimes trying to Tarantino, but failing miserably. And also, I think, if this movie would have been in the hands of Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez would likely become much better, maybe even great.
