Fans of action films can enjoy the numerous thrillers that have been released in 2017. Thrillers have comedic features as well as a dark color. In any case, when choosing a quality film, the viewer will be able to get the expected thrill.
"Foreigner"
Jackie Chan in the role of a veteran of the Vietnam War suffers numerous tragedies in life: the execution of his father, prison, educational camp, the loss of children and wife. The latest events take place already when the hero settles in London and tries to lead a quiet measured life. The reluctance and inability of the police to help him punish the murderers of his daughter and his wife force the hero to independently investigate and recall his dark past of the demolition man.
Those who come to the cinema to watch a classic movie with Jackie Chan, waiting for the utmost disappointment. There are no endless kung fu battles and humorous inserts. The film is deep enough.All of it is built on the undercover game of officials and the top of a terrorist organization. The hero Jackie, in fact, does not change the course of events, he only constantly “steps on the tail” to one of the main villains of the film.
"The envelope"
The plot of the film is simple, but sowing intrigue. A letter enters the correspondence of one of the firms. The secretary asks the driver of their common boss to take the envelope to the address indicated on it. On the spot, Igor (the driver) meets an old woman, who asks to deliver the letter to a new address that unexpectedly appeared on the envelope. The grandmother offered the driver an ancient coin for this, and the hero agreed.
Despite the simplicity of the plot, the directors managed to create an atmospheric thriller with elements of horror. The film is definitely tightened, but at the level at which the cinema of this genre is now located, we can say that the authors of Envelope achieved quite good results. The game of the main character leaves much to be desired, but his colleague Julia Peresild seems to be harmonious, in any image.
"Komatozniki"
A group of medical students came up with an interesting experience. They alternately enter a state of clinical death with the help of their colleagues, who must later pull the “traveler to the next world” back. During the experiment, the characters want to find out what is on the other side of life. Such a dangerous game leads to the fact that one of the students returns from the next world with a terrible appendage. Later, other heroes feel the odd thing.
The film has become a remake of the same film, shot many years ago. Then "Komatozniki" hit the top-grossing films. New version is far from the original. The film is not terrifying, it is not able to scare as much as the first film did. However, the central idea of the painting remained the same. Why did the authors repeat the film that was already shot, and it’s also so unfortunate, incomprehensible.
"Resident of the shadows"
In the house, located at some distance from the city, five children live.
Take care of the younger elder brother Jack. Their mother recently died, but no one knows about it, as adults immediately interfere in the lives of brothers and sisters and settle them in different orphanages. The mystery of an orphaned family is endangered when an older brother falls in love with a neighbor girl. In addition, the life of children complicates the mysterious inhabitant of the house, not belonging to this world.
The main advantage of the film is the atmosphere recreated in the scenes. She saves when the film lacks originality. There is no pumping of horror with the help of sounds and sudden movements. Fear just hovers in the air throughout the action. This is the highlight of the film.
"Golem"
The story takes place in Victorian London. Here a series of murders are committed. The total chain should include the death of John Cree. Initially, his wife was blamed for his death, but Inspector Kilder is convinced that this is a mistake. But traces still lead him to the stage where the suspect works.
The author described some details of the killings, which allowed him to think that he was inspired by the crimes of the legendary Jack the Ripper, who had been operating in London in 1888. The plot is pretty messy. There are flashbacks involved in the past, current events, lawsuits. At a certain point, most viewers are tired of dizzying picture changes and lose the thread of what is happening.
"Made in America"
Barry Seale transports passengers. Simultaneously with these, he transports smuggled goods from the USA to Canada. When it becomes known to the special services, the hero is forced to spy on the rebel camps and collect photographic material about them. The drug lords from Colombia also turn their attention to the pilot and offer him to transport cocaine and weapons on very favorable terms to Barry.
The film is somewhat exaggerated demonstrates the shortcomings of the democratic system in America during the reign of Reagan. Numerous characters take their places, and their line is perfectly traced throughout the course of the plot.Thriller film makes the dynamism and drama of the plot. Spectators are fascinated watching the development of events from the first to the last minute of the film.
"Reckless"
In the midst of the war in Yugoslavia, the US military learns that at the bottom of the lake, located not far from their location, are tons of gold. During World War II, the Nazis tried to smuggle them, but they all drowned. The soldiers want to raise gold from the bottom, keep some of them for themselves, and give the rest for the restoration of the country. Difficulties in the way of the project are created by the Serbian military. They want revenge for the general stolen from them.
Those who wish to see breathtaking plot fractures or a little worthy action should be prepared in advance for disappointment. Most of the films are devoted to drawing up a plan to dive to the bottom of the lake in a deserted area. It is difficult to talk about danger there. The film is more like a film about an adventure with a bank robbery, but a detachment of guards armed to the teeth is not expected - the gold is guarded by the Nazis who died many years ago.
"Good time"
A criminal with the experience of Connie decides to rob a bank. In the case he takes with him his mentally retarded brother. When the partners were already running away with money, in one of the packs inside the bag a capsule with a helmet explodes. Machine accomplices gets into an accident and Connie's brother detained. The hero himself manages to escape, but he cannot leave his ill brother in trouble.
The main character was played by Robert Pattison, and he did it brilliantly. He managed to change the universal opinion of himself as an actor of one role. His representative of the New York bottom was bright and persuasive. The film turned out to be dynamic and action-packed. However, her gloomy mood will not allow the viewer to relax for a minute.
"Mercenary"
During the terrorist act, in the eyes of the protagonist Rapp, his bride dies. The young man decides to take revenge and tracks down the customers of the crime. But at the last moment the act of retribution is disrupted by representatives of the CIA. As compensation, the guy is offered to join the ranks of special agents and the very first task is to prevent the Third World War.
The authors chose the path of least resistance and did not invent anything. The modern world is threatened by terrorism. Therefore, “Partner” is another thriller, where the main enemy is a terrorist. Such "repetitions" are to the detriment of the originality of the film. The viewer no longer responds to this problem so badly and in many cases even remains indifferent to what is happening on the screen. Despite all the components necessary for a good thriller, the film does not arouse interest, but immediately moves to the list of ordinary uninteresting films at once.
"Hostages"
The plot of the movie is based on real events. Young people - children of Soviet Bohemian representatives and officials - dream of living abroad separately from their parents. Two of the company under the guise of the bride and groom must carry a weapon in their belongings on board the aircraft. The seizure plan immediately collapses and now the perpetrators of a daring crime themselves become hostages of the situation.
The film turned out to be emotional and real. The authors focused not on the crime itself, but on the feelings of criminals in love. At some point, the impression is created that the director decided to introduce young people as heroes fighting against the injustice of the system and the situation. As a result, each spectator will independently judge the moral character of the couple.
