Highly Overrated But Still Good

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

It's Berlin in the near future. Leo (Alexander Skarsgård) is a mute nightclub bartender. He fights two customers for harassing his waitress girlfriend Naadirah and gets fired. She has secrets and goes missing. Meanwhile, American surgeons Cactus Bill (Paul Rudd) and Duck (Justin Theroux) are working in the underground black market. The two stories cross paths again and again.Duncan Jones makes a franchise sequel to Moon although Sam Rockwell only has a cameo in this movie. It's after Moon in the same world but about different people. I'm drawn to Leo's story as he searches for Naadirah. It's a journey into the underbelly of Berlin. The other half of the movie is far less compelling. Cactus and Duck's journey has no destination. They have no goals. There is nothing driving them. Of course, there is an inevitable reveal of a connection but there is no point in following them before the reveal. It needs to play with time so that their journey ends with Cactus killing Naadirah just after the bar fight. It would end at the same time as Leo finding Cactus with the body. The two stories can take place during different times and end in the same place. As of now, half of this movie has no drive or tension. So it's half compelling and a half failure.

For me, it's really slow and boring. Screenplay was terrible. But if you liked the blade runner, you'll probably like this one too

It has a jumbled start and some odd events however I really enjoyed it once it settled in to the story. It stars among others Alexander Skarsgard who in my view has a great ability to talk with his eyes. I found the scenery well developed and the plot enough to keep it interesting. A good watch and some great actors.

Oh my gosh. What a mess. At about the 20 minute mark, I realized this was not a good film. Poorly cast (Paul Rudd is not a convincing bad guy), filled with scenes of probably unintentional hilarity, and dully paced. This is one serious stinker of a movie. The fact that it's trying so hard for a Blade Runner city vibe just makes it look all the worse compared to the masterful Blade Runner sequel that came out around the same time.I'd say skip this one. It's not bad enough to be entertainingly bad, it's just bad.
