LOOPER (US’12): Joe Gordon-Levitt does a mean Bruce Willis. You could quibble about time travel, but meh – I’d just compress the last act.

– Looperin pidempi arvio Dome.fissä
SINIVALKOINEN VALHE (FI’12):Nimiä ja vuosia vilisee niin, että kaksituntinen pätkä tuntuu kovin tukevalta. Kaksinaamaisuus pani vihaksi.

SAVAGES (US’12): Let’s do a genre piece! Let’s be topical and important! Let’s flesh out the characters! Let’s partially miscast! Etc.

NIKO 2 (FI’12): Gorgeous backlit fur can’t make up for a by-the-numbers story and peculiar, almost always wrong-footed pacing.
— Olli Sulopuisto (@osulop) October 4, 2012
The jokes, the suspense, the anticipation are all undermined by the moment to moment rhythm that has no relation to what’s on the screen.

KILLER ELITE (UK’11): An actioner with a sense of time and space, at least every now and then. Many enjoyable action beats & gruesome fates.

KAKSI TARINAA RAKKAUDESTA (FI/NO’12) Bicultural meet cute leads into trouble. Well-written, directed w/long takes that gives the actors room

GOD BLESS AMERICA (US’11): Drawout the pus. The concept might be more intriguing than the execution, given it’s such a high-wire act.
— Olli Sulopuisto (@osulop) October 12, 2012
THE GAME (US’97): On 1st viewing I found the plot infuriating, this 2nd time it just feels diminished by all the reversals.

LA BATTAGLIA DI ALGERI (DZ’66): Holy shit: the bombing sequence, the POV switches, the mass scenes at the end. Goddamn!
— Olli Sulopuisto (@osulop) October 17, 2012
SKYFALL (US/UK’12): It’s back to basics and a different style yet again. Little romance. Bardem makes a grand entrance. Nods to the past.
— Olli Sulopuisto (@osulop) October 19, 2012
ARGO (US’12): A competent thriller.
— Olli Sulopuisto (@osulop) October 23, 2012
CRANK (US’06) The first 30 minutes are perfect and the rest ain’t bad either, just slower. 2nd viewing.

THE LAST BOY SCOUT (US’91): Very character-driven (male, not female), very… I dunno, depressing? And where’s the obligatory Xmas reference?
— Olli Sulopuisto (@osulop) October 25, 2012
CYRUS (US’10): A character study with a rather fast denouement.
— Olli Sulopuisto (@osulop) October 26, 2012
CON AIR (US’97): A silly film, yet not in a transcendent manner. Mullet Cage quite lame, physical vfx rather charming.
— Olli Sulopuisto (@osulop) October 29, 2012
ARMORED (US’09): No-nonsense heist thriller doesn’t quite make full use of its cast, but Dillon & Short are good.
