Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

SnoopyStyle Casey Stein (Nicholas Hoult) meets Juliette Marne (Felicity Jones) at a concert in Cologne, Germany. They start dating. He works for local criminal Geran (Ben Kingsley). She needs a kidney transplant. Hoping to make money for her surgery, he takes a job from Geran to steal drugs from his evil boss Hagen Kahl (Anthony Hopkins). It does not go well.I've never heard of this film and was surprised to see the top level cast. It's trying to be a stylish action thriller. It is not successful. The plot is plodding simplicity. Ben Kingsley is over-compensating with crazy character work which clashes with a rather bland performance from Nicholas Hoult. The plan does not work but I've seen worst. There is plenty of action but no tension. The writers probably considered themselves Tarantino but they are nowhere close. There are situations that don't make sense but the movie keeps going. It's a waste of perfectly good actors.

witster18 This is a really bad movie. One of the worst I've seen from 2016.Both Hopkins and Kingsley are terribly out-of-place here, albeit we are starting to see more of this "selling-out" from both of them. Kingsley's character, in particular, is the worst character in terms of concept and writing that may have ever graced the screen with an Oscar in his pocket. It's cringe-worthy.Hopkins character isn't much better.Some of the action scenes have some decent CGI and some passable real-action as well, that makes them look pretty good, but that might be the nicest thing I can say about this film. The lead(nic hault) is utterly forgettable, as is the story. The film attempts to throw in some humor, one can only imagine to lighten the mood, and that mood is "this movie stinks". Someday when you see a posthumous collage at the Academy Awards for these two actors - you WILL NOT see clips of this film.I yearn to see "Baby Driver" this week so I can see what this genre/storyline should look and sound like. Please pass. I rushed this back to the redbox as fast as humanly possible.

cruise01 Collide is a cheesy action film that feels like it would have worked in the 1980s/1990s era for the genre. Do not get me wrong, Collide was a decent action film with tons of car chases and action. May not be inventive or big exciting action but just decent enough to enjoy it for what it is. It also has a dumb plot that does not bring anything fresh to the table. The acting is mediocre with the two leads and horrible with the two antagonists played by Anthony Hopkins and Ben Kingsley. And least, the script has some cheesy horrible dialogue that does not seem believable that characters would say that in real situations.The plot follows Casey (Nicholas Hoult) who lives in Germany for a fresh start after his troubles with America. He and his buddy work for a drug dealer Geran (Ben Kingsley) where they are money runners. Casey decides to cut quits when he falls for a bartender Juliette (Felicity Jones). They both share a romantic stare, were they both will risk everything for each other. When Casey finds out that Juliette is struggling with a health condition and would need money to give her that treatment. He takes Gerans money running offer in sabotaging and stealing one of the drug dealers competition Hagen (Anthony Hopkins). When things do not go as planned and Casey is on the run with Hagen's men after him for stealing their money. Casey will do whatever it takes to save the one he loves.The plot is pure dumb fun. Sure, it would make a forgettable film. The sub plot with the love story at times felt very cheesy. The direction of seeing Casey and Juliette having plenty of passionate stares and glances in film does feel out of place for this type of film. But it does relate with the theme that anyone would do anything for love. Even, if it requires stealing several cars, being in high speed chases and crashing several cars. Overall, it was fast paced and once the chases and action starts it never slows down from there.Nicholas Hoult and Felicity Jones were both decent, delivering okay performances. Anthong Hopkins performance felt stale. He is a great actor and I enjoy almost about any movie he is in. his talent is completely wasted in this film. Ben Kingsley performance also felt out of place as a pimp cocaine loving dealer. Kingsley performance felt like he was playing the same character from Iron Man 3. Felt like he transitioned from that film to this.The script has some cheesy tacking dialogue. It is eye rolling dialogue, especially with the love sub plot on Casey and Juliette. The action and car chases were entertaining and plenty throughout. It is not as exciting and thrilling it is suppose to be. At times, the direction is dull which it would make this film completely forgettable once it ends.Overall, Collide is a fair action film that's only worth checking out as a rental and if you need some cheap action thrills with mediocre acting, terrible dialogue and a dumb plot.

Tony Heck "I need $200,000. You can have the rest. I just need you yo do something for me." Casey Stein (Hoult) has gotten mixed up in a drug smuggling ring and his girlfriend has been taken. Now he is stuck between kingpins Hagen (Hopkins) and Geran (Kingsley) with only one option. Steal from one and ask for help from the other. Casey is now left to wonder if he chose wisely. This is a pretty intense and exciting movie but at the same time really toes the line between generic and original. There is enough in here to make it seem fresh and new and keeps you interested, while at the same time being just predictable enough for you to stay one step ahead of the movie. Normally that's a bad thing, but when it comes to these B action movies excitement is the goal. This one does have that. Overall, nothing all that original or fresh but it is fun to watch and a good way to spend a few hours. I give this a solid B.
