The first part left it all open. I regards the second part worse then the first. It’s not that shocking anymore. The woman is closer to getting her revenge. And the closer she gets the more we see parts of her history and how she became what she is now. This part is pretty predictable and even boring here and there. All this inevitably leads up to the last confrontation, just like in a video game, with the big boss. After some meaningful (or not) dialog, the last fighting scene begins. A bit weak to be honest.

Depp (J. Dillinger) and Bates (M. Purvis) are both playing in a film that I found simply surprising. The story goes about the crime war between the 1930’s gangsters and the US government. A cliché some critics might say. Without spoiling the pleasure to watch it, I will say this: Depp and Bates are again proving they are phenomenal actors, M. Mann, the director, recreates the 30’s like I’ve never seen in a long time and the movie gets a well deserved 7,5 on imdb.com. Thumbs up from my side!
I liked very much the “DaVinci Code”. I saw the movie and also read the book. Now I was quite eager to see the second part and to elucidate mysteries. Like always I was a bit disappointed. The symbols were quite simple, the action nonrealistic and Tom Hanks, whom I liked once, is getting older and older. I was surprised of how many scenes were filmed in Vatican and Rome, and how exposed was the Catholic Church. All in all if you like this kind of films you should see it. You actually might enjoy it.
I’m not a Will Smith fan. In fact I always thought of him as a stupid prince of Bel Air, but as time passes by he gets a better actor. In this movie he is a scientist who could not stop the spreading of a deadly virus. Along with his best friend Sam, a wolf dog, he tries to find a cure and save humanity. Few times I jumped off the couch because of some hideous characters so you could say that this movie is a thriller as much as it is a drama. Some of the scenes seem impossible to shoot and BTW the ending has an alternative.
I must say I love mystery movies and when it comes to Russell Crowe you’ll know for sure that he doesn’t accept crappy scenarios for his character. A journalist tries to solve a murderer for his paper story, but when he reaches a crime linked to a congressman (Ben Affleck) he knows he is after something much bigger. Clenched between his editor and a very good friend, Cal McAffrey plays with his life attempting to collect evidence. For 2 hours your eyes won’t move from the screen.
The movie has a huge cast: Pitt, Walken, Slater, Arquette and a lot others. The story is simple: lonely Elvis fan meets prostitute, falls in love and frees her from her pimp but takes the wrong suitcase. So basically it’s a love story in disguise. Violence and drug use is all over but still gave the industry some great scenes: when the mafia interrogates the retired cop, Clarence and Elliott in the elevator and the last shooting scene. The soundtrack comes as a perfect completion to this favorite of mine.
