Collision

RANDOM FILMS PART 7 Now, what can I say about Collision? Shall I mention it was originally called 'Intersections'? I'm sensing a theme here...

Should I talk about the fact that no-one can trust each other? Seriously, this is House Of Cards levels of deception...

I could prattle on about how there isn't a decent woman to be found in the movie (apart from right at the end)?

On the same topic, how about the underlying sexist message that females are only after one thing? (Clue: It start with M and rhymes with funny, though they're not spelt the same, unless you're dyslexic. )

There's a REALLY good car cra... Oh, you already guessed that by looking at the title. Silly me.

Er... The desert looks good at this time of year? Seriously folks, I'm struggling here. I've seen ALL this before... The backstabbing, the artificial tension, the stupid decisions, the frenetic last few minutes... Only, done much better.

Wondering why you've never heard of this film? Wonder no longer. 5/10

....blink, and you'll miss a clue. I had heard the movie mentioned in a different movie review so when it popped up on a free HBO preview weekend, I gave it a look. Hooked me right away. Lots of totally unlikable characters with unexpected twists. Give it a watch, or even two, so you catch what you missed the 1st time

From the get go this movie captivates your attention and the action and settings are very realistic. As the plot unfolds it gets more and more interesting and I can tell you there are many twists and turns even at the last minute. The actors impressed me as I have never seen any of them in movies before. At that even the middle eastern actors were very good.I was very much surprised by the previous rating which does not reflect the level of entertainment we have with this movie. So please if you want to be at the edge of your seat I urge you to watch this great action movie and get back here and write your review.You will not be disappointed.

I have no idea why this is rated so low. It's not earth-shattering but it's definitely worth watching. The acting is patchy but not the worst I've seen and the story itself is riveting. In the hands of a more skilled director, with better pacing, more suspense and better actors I think this would have been a top rater. But even so, the story and production is better than average and deserves to be seen. Awesome setting, great twists and turns, some very good action scenes. My biggest issue was with the fact that it was hard to like any of the characters which kills the suspense factor - if you don't like 'em you don't care what happens to them LOL. They needed to develop the characters more and at least make them sympathetic on some level. The only one they really succeeded in doing that with is Saleh but I never got the sense that he was in danger so there was no suspense around him either. Everyone else (except the baby) was fair game to me :) Brilliant plot, that really should have more praise, and nice acting from Roschdy Zem & the baby. :D

Here's a movie with a generic title, produced by Luc Besson (Fifth Element) but manages to be pretty damn good!! The twists and turns and satisfying ending were all worth it in my opinion. Frank Grillo was really good and Jamie Alexander (Thor) owned it!!

Definitely worth watching!!
