Collide




Jean, This is a sleeper of heist movie. By that I mean it has not received the  attention it deserves and it is not all that bad. It stars Anthony Hopkins, Ben Kingsley, Felicity Jones and Nicholas Hoult. When a heist goes wrong, the crime lords of Hopkins and Kingsley go after the young couple of Jones and Hoult. I had forgotten how scary Hopkins can be without raising his voice. Kingsley plays an ethnic character to the hilt as expected. But Nicholas Hoult is a very attractive and athletic hero, doing all the stunts required with such ease. The story takes you on wild and imaginative car chases along the autobahns of Germany as well as the most picturesque lanes of the villages. Hoult jumps into one super hot german car after another in the chases. The overall story is weak but if you are into reasonably well acted action films with a lovely European backdrop, this is the film.  Germany never looked more neat and attractive as the background of the movie.  Dad
