Dead Man Down review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 07/01/13
A unique plot where characters are coincidentally intertwined. Victor (Colin Farrell), an Engineer, makes friends with Beatrice (Noomi Rapace). They meet up and she blackmails him after they meet at a restaurant. He reveals his real identity and the person responsible for killing his wife. Laszlo Kerick's identity has been exposed by Darcy. The film slows down when the conversations between Beatrice and her mother. Some weak points: pacing and plot could have been better. It was baffling how the discovery of Laszlo by looking below the refrigerator was so easy. Alphonse Hoyt (Terrence Howard) was not menacing enough while having some pretty lousy lines to boot. Colin Farrell just isn't that convincing for this critics opinion though this one comes close. The direction, soundtrack and action were sensational though. Screenplay was somewhat good: ""Life what happens to you along the way." "Information is power, my friend." It's Still, Dead Man down is wroth viewing for its genre with various subliminal messages if you listen intently to the words.
