Collide

Anthony Hopkins, just like Tommy Lee Jones in lot of their recent movies, simply is too old to play this heartless, stone-killer role. When an actor is too old, if some movie investors and casting agencies, still think they are box office insurance, they are deadly wrong. These old gizzards would turn off and turn away 99% audiences. Anthony Hopkins just looked so pretentiously and unconvincingly ridiculous, trying so hard to be a highly educated criminal, reciting Shakespeare, even Amadeus Mozart, on German soil.

Ben Kingsley too, also was a poorly miss-cast role in this film. The under-boss role he played in this film, was like an insult to the real criminals, I just don't know when he was so pathetically and fomulaically die-cast as a old sex beast/sex maniac, a pathetic character who would never climb up the criminal ladder to reach that level and position. It's sad to see this great actor now has to use his old naked body to make some dough, at the same time, a half clown and half jerk.

The young actor who played that mindless, die-hard romantic role in this film, somehow is a 50/50 right-wrong cast in this absurd car-chase, car-crash stupid film. His survival in this film was highly unlikely except he was conveniently provided with such lucks with the script, so all the time in the last minute, he would rise out of the wrecks.

Those car chases, car crashes on all kinds of roads in Germany, Hopkins' killers and himself could immediately appeared, even they could use this naive, dim-wit young guy's cell phone to pin-point his locations, the sudden show-ups were still not possible, unless these bad guys had the futuristic advanced technical devices from Star Trek's movies.

Again, lot of nice cars were wasted for those mindless "Grand Auto Theft" alike endless chasing and crashing scenes.

As the movie itself, well, okay to watch but, you've got to put your I.Q. aside first.
