Review 4K Movie
Hollywood is always very subtle in capturing the cultural mood of the crowd. For example, during the conservative American 60's, in an era of exclusively black and white public tones, and the movie was shot, the corresponding - simple, maximalist, with characters that were more like patterns of certain types than living people. Contemporary Hollywood, on the contrary, more tends to the diversity of situations and the depth of character characters. After all, it's very fashionable to be a complex, multifaceted person now, a simple dualism is not respected, so give the corresponding movie. Rare current kinodrama does without multiplane heroes and unambiguous moral situations, in which there is such a number of sometimes mutually exclusive concepts that it is practically impossible to collect everything together. "Payback" Gavin O'Connor - just such a picture, working under the vicious slogan "the more complicated and confusing - the better." And what is doubly surprising, this stupid attempt to seem deeper than you really is, only plays the tape on hand.
The main intrigue of the film is focused on the life of a simple financial analyst Christian Wulff, engaged in corporate consultation on the topic of proper accounting. Building the correct system of paying taxes, searching for shortages and theft - the main directions of its work. But this is only the appearance of his activity. In fact, our hero is a dangerous financial criminal, giving advice to all major world drug dealers and arms, an autist, a fighter for justice and a real hired killer. Naturally, even an attempt to turn a legal business for once in a lifetime and find a thief in a company for the production of neuroprosthetics turns out to be real adventures in the spirit of secret special agents. After all, such a multifaceted guy could find himself problems even during a shopping trip to the supermarket.
"Payback" is really a picture with one of the most heaped characters of the protagonist, which I generally saw in the movie. Creators, it seems, do not at all know the sense of proportion in telling the story of a character's life. Here we see Christian in early childhood, in a beautiful scene where parents want to give it to a shelter for autistics, not knowing what to do with such a child in the family. Then we are transferred to the present time, where the grown up and matured character continues to struggle daily with his illness. And everything is shown realistically, we understand that this person is extremely difficult to socialize, that behind his quiet smile and courteous manners with customers is the titanic work of internal control. Therefore, when we find out that Woolf is also a genius mathematician-financier, we are doubly imbued with respect and sympathy for him. In general, the first half of the picture, dedicated specifically to the life of the hero and his economic work, is made just perfect. This is an amazingly masterfully filmed movie in which a simple accountant with a bunch of reports on the table looks like a real superhero when he displays the ratio of debit and credit on the board. About this in general it was possible to make a movie. "Payback" from this would not be affected.
But no, we do need a complicated movie. And do not care that we managed to give the dynamics of history about accounting rework. It is necessary to shove all the forces into the film action, explosions and chases. And now our quiet autistic mathematician, with the help of just to the horror of stupidly shown scenes from the past, turns into a fighter for justice, Batman with a pencil in his breast pocket, who owns all kinds of martial arts and shoots an eye with a sparrow from a distance of 5 km. Shootings, fights and murders, as it turned out, are given to our hero no worse than mathematical puzzles.
Well, added the speakers. Stop on this, the excellent, though not so realistic, the movie turned out - the viewer will think. But this is not enough for the writers. Until the heap they introduce absolutely unnecessary love line into the film, the agents of the Justice Ministry pursuing our hero, who in the end still do not change anything in the main plot, the theme of fathers and children, family reunions. As a result, by the end of the film the whole narrative turns into such a hanging vinaigrette that it is impossible to make out where the main ingredients of the action, which interested us in the beginning, are in fact. So strongly sagging to the end of the film I, honestly, have not seen for a long time.
But with all this the film can be praised. First, despite the final delirium, Ben Affleck was able to show an excellent character that really looks like an autist, overcoming all the social difficulties associated with it. Yes, he was able to prove that an accountant can be on the screen a cool guy! Secondly, for all its busyness and unnecessary plot lines, the movie looks alive and dynamic. Producer Gavin O'Connor, who shot an excellent "Warrior" with Tom Hardy, still can make a simple, but fascinating movie. And "Payback" is just this. And most importantly - the film does not look stupid. Yes, the picture sometimes does not know what she wants from her own story, but even those searches look fascinating. AT
