Well, hello there, kind folks. If you’re visiting this blog of mine, I presume that you have a certain interest in the cinema. As for me, even since my early childhood, I have had a deep love of everything related to movies and television. As far as I can remember, I have been more at ease in front of a screen than in the yard, outside, playing. It is a great way to travel, though other people’s stories, without having to foot any kind of steep bill. Over the years, I feel that movie-watching has even fuelled my own creativity.

All that being said, I welcome you in my Cinephile’s Nest. I hope you enjoy it here, feel free to come back at any time. Here you will find reviews of current movies and older ones. TV shows also. Some classics that have remained some of my favourites, some that have disappointed me. I will use a very basic star (*) system to grade them from 1 to 5 (5 being sliced bread level). Remember, these are just my tastes. I will try to explain in each review what I liked about these particular movies, without giving spoilers.

Il y aura aussi des critiques en français pour les films francophones, car j'aime également le cinéma dans ma langue maternelle. Avant d'apprendre l'anglais, plus jeune, je louais des tonnes de films traduits en français, surtout ceux de Bud Spencer et Terrence Hill. Ma mère a eu le choc de sa vie lorsqu'un jour, dans la boîte d'un de ces films, Deep Throat avait malencontreusement inséré. Une expérience formatrice pour le jeune cinéphile que je suis.

Bienvenue à tous, amusez-vous bien.

I welcome you all here, enjoy yourself.

Nobody (2021)

Genre: Action
Directed by: Ilya Naishuller
Cast: Bob Odenkirk, Connie Nielsen, RZA, Christopher Lloyd
Running Time: 92 minutes

 


Hutch Mansell is a retired government assassin who moved on to a regular life with a wife, two kids and a tedious job working for his father-in-law. After his house gets broken into by two armed robbers, putting his family in danger, Hutch reverts to his old ways, setting in motion a series of violent events that will get him in trouble with a crazy drug lord.

I loved this film. The story is a little nuts, and some of the support cast’s work is a little over-the-top, but Bob Odenkirk is so awesome in the lead role, it is amazing. He carries this film. He looks so unmenacing, but he can kick ass and he ends up being believable at it. I love when that can be pulled off on screen. And seeing Christopher Lloyd again was a treat.
