I've watched this movie many times and still uncertain of what is fact.
I love this movie, after watching it so many times, I have yet to determine what the outcome is of the whole thing, how much of the movie is self fabricated, if any, what's implanted. I just love every last aspect of this.

Furthermore, if anyone knows of any supplemental material to this, please send your flyers my way!

Not a bad thriller
Contains spoilers, click to show
A thriller about an ex-army man who is forced to take a job in a shopping mall as a night security guard. On his first night a young girl asks for help as people are chasing her. What follows is a good thriller with some interesting twists as the plot unfolds. Ben kingsley as the leader of the bad guys steals this one easily. Antonio Banderas plays the ex-army guy with a dark and disturbing past.

This film has a promising storyline.A serial killer is abducting and murdering young women in Minnesota and sex crime investigator Marshall (cavill) is leading the pursuit to catch him.A retired judge (ben kingsley) and a young girl are going round luring in paedophiles and castrating them.They both eventually meet and team up sort of (along with a female police profiler) to try and catch the killer.

This film was trying to emulate other classic cat and mouse thrillers like Seven and in parts did give it a go but ultimately failed to do so.The twist they go for when it comes to revealing the killer was ok but if you follow the story carefully you may work it out before then.

Cavill and Kingsley played their parts well and there are 1 or 2 good action sequences.A good little movie that is worth a watch if your looking for a good thriller.

2016 | Action, Family
Pseudo Live action remake (or should that be re-telling?) of the 1967 Jazz-tastic Disney original, with a star studded voice cast that includes Bill Murray (as Baloo), Ben Kingsley (Bagheera), Idris Elba (Shere Khan), Scarlett Johansson (Ka) and Christoper Walken (King Louis).

It's rather weird, however, seeing/hearing these voices come out the impressive-CGI'd creatures: for me, a disassociation that the film never really gets over.

But, yes, the "Bear Necessities" and "I want to be like you" both do get a reprise in this movie, but neither version can hold a candle to the original.

I feel like this movie suffered from the same thing that Anthropoid thing, a boring build-up that doesn't really pay off in the end.
This movie felt like a 2 hours movie, which is never good. It was a long slog, and the tension wasn't built enough to actually interest me. It was a good story, but the pacing issue was bad.
Ben Kingsley was silently menacing, and tried to weasel his way out of taking the blame for anything. I felt like the movie was perhaps too kind towards his character? Oscar Isaac did well in his role, but it still wasn't enough to keep me completely enthralled.
