Without revealing the intrigue and mystery of the fable, it is worth noting the clever interweaving into the story line of conspiracy theories. The Director tried to fill the plot a fair amount of proprietary chips, most of which seem at least strange. “Package” - film of 2009 (reviews the confirmation of this), full of irrational inserts. Not all of the beholder understand the events happening in the second part of the picture.

Dramatic ending

The Film “Package” (2009) received mixed reviews largely because the further development of the storyline just confuses the viewer confused. In my life clicked a button heroes starts is crazy: appear out of nowhere bleeding zombie characters pursues boy laughing, they find themselves on the sidelines of the top-secret laboratories and no longer able to clearly define what kind of a world and dimension are.

Closer to climax in the film, once again a realistic explanation. The main characters are reporting that the atonement is real, but the price is, as usual, exorbitant, and it will have to pay the price. This life lesson carries the film “Package”. Reviews critics called the work Kelly is an excellent psychological Thriller with a killer morality and exhilarating philosophy.

Summary

The efforts of the Director visible and unsophisticated moviegoers, however, as the misses. Kelly throughout the duration of the film withstands suspended meaningful tone, filigree building plans. Music - creation rockers Arcade Fire. Minimalistic unsettling soundtrack is one of the few undisputed successes, the film “Package”.

Specialists, written in a positive way, and celebrate the outstanding story monolith, in the second part of the picture breaking up into three separate lines: fabulous Martian stuff, “maternowska” and mystical elements. Unfortunately, according to leading filmmakers, the author managed to complete only one, the other two remained unfinished.

“Package” from Jesse Johnson

The Gunman Jesse Johnson's “Package” (2012) reviews was not happy. The audience noted that, if desired, to determine what to expect from the movie, you need to pay attention to the casting and group of creators. So, knowing the actors playing the main roles in the project a little-known Director Johnson and screenwriter Derek Kolstad, once it becomes clear that there is no special deep moral connotations, and philosophizing were not in the movie. The fact that Dolph Lundgren and Steve Austin for quite a while not making a quality big-budget blockbusters. Actors focused their attention on projects of category B. “Package” movie reviews, which identified the tape as a representative of the strong, but low-budget brainchild category B.

Storyline

Scene narrative paintings indivisible branches and simply. The main character Tommy, nicknamed the German professional generalist: security guard, bouncer, and courier. Trust the instructions of his boss Tommy obliged to deliver a package to one of local criminal authorities. The deal is mutually beneficial: your efforts will repay German debtsunlucky brother. But, as it turned out, this package has plenty of candidates, among them criminal elements of all stripes. So begins a deadly race for the coveted title in a parcel-survival game.

Banal tradition

Such films as “Package” reviews of film critics deserve to be stingy. They are called simple and straightforward. The script is solid, without any special tricks and steps. No moral subtext that the Director is trying to convey to the audience through the actions of the Central characters. The development of the storyline is clear and predictable: lots of gunfights, spectacular fights, chases, sometimes ridiculous actions of the characters and the climax, which was clear from the first minutes of time. Besides the above, action “Package” (2013), reviews of the beholder, it only confirms, has the weak special effects, cinematography average and standard action-picture soundtrack.

Cast

The Actors who performed the roles of the main characters, not out of the ordinary roles. Particularly picky critics was, considering the game Steve Austin (alias Ice Block). Their verdict was emphatic - according to experts, it can be called an actor a stretch. The whole movie he ran, fought devoid of emotion straight face. Slight changes in facial expressions Austin was observed only once in the scene when the actor saw himself shirtless in the hospital. In principle, what can you expect from a former professional wrestler? His filmography includes about 20 paintings, the most significant are: "Nash bridges”, “the Expendables”.

The Master of martial arts, the action star 1980-1990 Dolph Lundgren has managed to grow into the role, demonstrate artistic talent and earn a more lenient critical acclaim and enthusiastic fans. Against the background of his partner on the set of Steve he looked in a favorable light, if to appreciate the dramatic talent. Return of the actor in “the Expendables” attracted the attention of filmmakers to his person, including Jesse Johnson, who invited Lundgren for the lead role in your project. Those episodes in which Dolph dominated, was named the best in the film “Package”.

An English actor and stuntman of Irish descent, Darren Shahlavi as one of the hunters for the ill-fated premise was convincing. And staged a fight with his participation was extremely realistic and entertaining, which is not surprising, since 7 years Darren has seriously studied karate, judo and other martial arts.
