The Beast

This movie is watchable, but not as good as I had hoped. Guy just gets his ass kicked most of the time. Should have gave the script to Scott Adkins.

Liam Neeson has held a tough guy/image of a father since TAKEN. After five minutes THE BEAST starts I can see so many similarities. But THE BEAST is missing one key element: the power of kick after each punch. Movies like these are not just about the family/love bond, but also seek "violence". The title is violent but not the content. From many scenes I can see the actor is trying to catch breath which is something you don't see in Liam Neeson's. BTW the soundtrack where his past is described is nice, trying to find the title of the song lol.

In general, it's not bad but if you are looking for movies that can bring you excitement or help you shake off chose from reality then you may want to choose another one.

The movie has a good beginning and the Beast character is perfect. But then the plot becomes really slow, the action is slow, the hero looses his strength and falls in serious danger. It is not clear the intention of the movie: an action movie, a family/love movie, both of the them ? Well in my opinion none of them had success. Finally with its rhytms movie is too long (I risked to fall asleep). But Ludovico Di Martino has really good possibilities (scenes, lights, actors), so c'mon let show them.

They say there is nothing like Mama Bear (I think they say that, but you know what I mean in any case) ... well get a hold of Papa Bear(d)! He ain't playing around either. Seemingly unstoppable - or is he? One thing is for sure, he aims for the throat and he goes right for the target. No distractions and alll that other stuff police has to worry about.

Which of course make him a target for the police too. A very down and dirty movie ... gritty and unapologetic! With a main performance that is quite mesmerizing to say the least. If that sounds like something you can agree and watch, than look no further. So can you dig it? And can you stomach it?

The movie starts OK and then the plot becomes a mess... and the action scenes are boring. No need to view it.
