Sorry, this movie sucks
Best movie ever!
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
I found the movie a mixture of "Man on fire" and "Harsh Times" plus a bit of "Jacob's Ladder" For sure is worth watching if you enjoyed the titles named above. And the acting of Matthias Schoenaerts is good, giving his character the right doses of violence, kindness and madness you would expect in somebody suffering from war related psychical injuries. You find also in the movie quite a realistic depiction of how close protection work is getting done in Europe, from the way they operate to the way the recruiting is done. I have watched Matthias Schoenaerts playing as well in "The Drop", he did a good part but the role was small and didn't give him to much of a chance. He has a disposition for bringing to life characters filed with repressed rage and expect to see him mostly in R rated movies and maybe some movies with religious themes.Enjoy it
This is a film with few dialogue. It was the soundtrack and the actors who must speak for themselves. But more could be done with this film and these actors. The genre is not quite clear: a character study of post-traumatic stress disorder? an thriller? an critical society film? Of course Matthias is superb, but I hope to see him also smiling. But the situation here is not for smiling. And why, fgs, must the title be changed from Maryland to Disorder? This English title don't explain anything more than the original title. Perhaps the better should be 'Matthias' (or Vincent) when it is all about a character study of the mean actor Matthias....
In a twist on the story of a combat veteran with post-traumatic stress disorder attempting to adjust to civilian life, director Alice Winocour realigns the balance of the narrative to focus as much on romance and one woman's perspective as action and a psychologically wounded man.Vincent takes odd jobs as he lobbies to return to combat as a soldier. Despite its inherent dangers, combat at least is a place where he has a mission and purpose. Civilian life is not so kind. It is confusing, degrading and offers little in the way of sympathy for what Vincent has been through. A side job as part of a security team, together with his military pals, takes Vincent to a mansion, party and pretty woman who attracts his eyes and focus. In the ensuing days Vincent is drawn into a personal security detail for her. When she is targeted for kidnapping, the pair must draw upon not just Vincent's military training, but upon their basic qualities as human beings. Because each of them has moved in different spheres until then, this may not work so well.The sound selections and wounded hero narrative are reminiscent of the Nicolas Winding Refn films that I love. However, Winocour cannot quite match Refn's levels of tension, chemistry and spectacle. I admire the acting of Matthias Schoenaerts and he does not disappoint here. While the film has some potential to live up to, there is ample suspense and intrigue inside the characters and the scenes that envelop them. Seen at the 2016 Miami International Film Festival.
I was not sure what to expect with this. But I was definitely intrigued with the two leads, Matthias Schnoenarts and Diane Kruger.I like a lot of the films that they star in. So it will be interesting to see what their chemistry is on screen.The premise was definitely one I do not see that often. Also, the story that director and writer Alice Winocaur had put onto screen got me invested. But despite me still finding it reasonably enjoyable, I felt that we have a missed opportunity here.One thing is for sure, Schoenaerts was great as our main character. A bit like Tom Hardy, most of his success comes from the physical part of the performance. You can really see the killer instinct in his character and his charisma definitely carries this film well. I was feeling his characters problems and I was rooting for him to overcome them. I think without Schoenarts, this could have been something quite boring. The rest of the cast were not that memorable, even Kruger.For the few action scenes that were on screen, they were really well constructed. You could really feel the hits being taken. The score was fascinating and surprisingly atmospheric. The style felt different, but managed to fit in well with the film. However, there were some moments where I felt the moment to use that score felt unnecessary or badly timed.Like I said before, there are problems with it. While it may feel slow for the most part, you can feel the tension throughout. You do feel that something does not feel right and we get some well executed action scenes. But I think in the end, the lack of drama and thrills may make people impatient as they know this could go down more interesting routes. I don't get a lot of the slow no-dialogue moments that we seem to see with most of European cinema. It's not often that style gets me totally invested. I was not a fan of the camera-work as well. There was a lot of shaky moments that I felt were unnecessary, and it made me struggle to see what was going on. This negative is a bit of nit pick. But I felt there were too many times when they were reminding us of our main characters anxiety problems. That just seemed to signal to me that they have little more to show and just lingered on that particular part.For what looked like an interesting premise, for me it did not manage to make the most of it. But don't worry, it still remains to be a solidly delivered thriller with an amazing lead by Schoenarts. The way they portrayed his characters problems on screen was quite clever. I also liked it did not have that cliché feeling at all, and that might be the reason that I remained interested. Despite its problems, I will still recommend this. Winocour should be proud of this. I will definitely check out the rest of her work.Rating: 7/10
