Skiptrace - Review

          Skiptrace is an another usual Chan's fest. The world's super star do not take much risk for this movie. The film consists of couple of action scenes, fault wit which do not give laughter, and a partner. This movie resembles Rush Hour series but it does not work much. The twist at the end is also guessed before it reach the climax. The screenplay is weak and chan must have to concentrate on his upcoming films.

          Chan worked hard for this entire film and he is the one man army throughout the film. The movie is watchable because of chan's face and his risky stunts even at this age. The beautiful thing in this film is the journey of two contrast characters ( a police and a thief). None of them scored as much as jackie but in some places Knox did well. Overall Skiptrace is an average chan film but lack of strong screenplay. It is one time worth to watch for all kind of audience.

Don't Breathe - Review

Don’t Breathe is a rocking psychological thriller from the director of Evil Dead Fede Alvarez. The movie is webbed by unexpected plot and incident. This is totally a contrast film regarding audience expectation. Rocky, Alex and Money are the three Detroit thieves. They decide to loot big amount of money and settle. They found a retired army man (blind) have enormous amount of money in his damaged home. Alex is against this idea. Even though Alex is against it they enter army man’s horror house and some secrets have to be revealed.

The audiences think that this is a ghost film but the thing is, it is a psychological horror (better than ordinary ghost films). The way the movie presented is heart beating. From the opening scene while the blind man lift an unconscious girl into his house, the audience have been at the edge of seat and they remain till the end of movie.

Even the dog gives horror feelings. The way the camera captured is the best example for other movies to follow heart beating close ups. It seems like we are travelling with camera. First person camera angles worked out well throughout the movie. The darkness is the major plus point and it adds horror to the horrible horror. The blind man’s brutal character is revealed when he tries to insert his sperm to Rocky’s body in an artificial manner. This is the most disturbing part in this film. The film portrays how an army man affected by totalitarian society and how the world is materialized without humanity.

The cinematography and background score shows how the team worked hard for this movie’s success. DON’T BREATHE is must watchable in theater for good effect.
