Triple 9, Bone Tomahawk, The Finest Hours The Film Review

89. A 63-year-old man has died in a suspected gas explosion that

destroyed a house in North Yorkshire.

Hello and welcome to The Film Review on BBC News.

To take us through this week's cinema releases is Jason Solomons.

This week we are on the mean streets of Atlanta for Triple 9 after a

heist goes wrong. Kurt Russell rides out into new tour a true for the

western, and Tomahawk, a Cabot movie needs a cannibal slasher genre. And

they are going to need a bigger boat, the perfect storm, a lifeboat

rescues an oil tanker in the Disney disaster movie, The Finest Hours.

Triple 9, all the things that I like in a movie, I hope you like it. A

lot of people in it. London buses, you think, look at all the people.

Star-studded cast, for what I call a trashy gangster kind of cop thriller

type stuff. I like this type of stuff. We see ignoring the telly

things like True Detective Rudy Harrelson and he crops appear. Do

you know for Triple 9 is? It is when an officer is down and the police

piloting and all the police in the area rushed towards that. A very

good time to commit another crime because there are no policemen over

to look at that other crime, they are after the perpetrator, that is

what happens, a way to clean up their gangster heist that goes

wrong. Led by Kate Winslet, the Mafia boss behind it all. So... Now

all of that is out of the way... Vesely would like to know how things

are progressing? Tell him we have got to make it work. This is

fantastic. Yes. A lot of worry in that little scene,

isn't there? Kate Winslet, as we have never seen her before. Kristin

Scott Thomas, when she did Only God Forgives think she became a blonde,

buxom killer. I don't think it works for Kate Winslet, she strangles the

Russian accent. We are not sure what her role in all of this, she leads

the way in organising the corrupt cops and gangsters to search for

these chips hidden some work and they have to make a destruction

using the Triple 9 code to fill an officer played by Casey Affleck, an

officer who always does either book when everyone is doing at naughty.

Some brilliant set pieces, directed by John Philpott, who did a great

job with The Proposition. Outlaws Or What Interests Him And We Have That

Here. Very Stiff, The Opening Sequence With The Heist, It's Very

Slick, Meretricious Scenes Set In Strip Clubs Be No Reason Because

That's Four Clubs Seem To Go. There are brilliant action sequences in

the ghetto. They shelter from shoot outs, the mayhem is brilliantly

captured. A very sort of Saturday night, Friday night movie after some

beer. You can say this is kind of a hackneyed genre, that is the danger

but frankly, if there is enough action sequences, a little bit of

drummer and a high-scoring wrong, it sounds brilliant. It's no classic.

It's a kind of low, slow burn. Bone Tomahawk, a western, horror,

cannibal mash up? Sounds like a comedy? A western is the one genre

you should never mash up with anything else. Cowboys versus aliens

showed that. It doesn't work at all. This one doors, quite extraordinary,

the sort of thing that Tarantino might have dashed off in the

intermission. Kurt Russell turns up here. The sheriff, everyone

congregating in the saloon, and the pretty wife of Doctor disappears and

the only trace they have is an arrow, and one of the local Indians

comes in and says, the troglodytes have got her. Like The Searchers the

posse saddles up and rides out to get her back, on the going into the

tour a treat for these terrifying, brutal killers lurk. -- territory. A

bit like Tarantino and... There is the drunken pianist, the barmen

sliding down, all the cliched western stuff and they go out for

the riding I'd stuff and it becomes this brutal survivalist, revenant

but with killer slasher cannibal Indians. I think people... I haven't

seen it... It sounds slightly preposterous. But it has its tongue

in cheek until that time is ripped out. Right... And a bit gruesome at

the end? Very... Without giving too much away? Bone Tomahawk... They

make their weapons out of human bones. They are as sharp as Hells

teeth! Ride... Moving on... The Finest Hours. A very different movie

indeed. Bone Tomahawk is 18, this is down as a wholesome, old-fashioned

Disney picture about a rescue in the 1950s, still known as the most

airing small boat rescued in the history of the US lifeguard. Who

knew? Chris Pine has to say about to rescue a stricken oil tanker which

in the high seas has been cleft into by a wave and half of it is left

drifting onto the rocks. Casey Affleck, Bishop's captain can save

them. You are going to kill us! You are

going to kill us! The boat is in pieces. It's gone... Enough! That

boat is too small for these seas. And this chip... It will be sunk by

nightfall. Every fella here wants to live, the only way that happens is

if we wrong or drown. Right, there is a problem to be solved. Who will

save them? I didn't know that half a ship could drift, that is one

thing... Does that work, but apparently it can. There is a lot of

shouting, a lot of waves, but the effects are superb. I remember

Wolfgang Petersen took it to another level with George Clooney when he

did The Perfect Storm. Boat trying to get through the waves is well

done, exciting, you have this wholesome, Disney, 50s America going

on, the girls back home pining for their men, the brave men who have

gone out to sea. One of them is played by Holliday Grainger, whose

name sounds like a 50s matinee itself. She does very well, as the

girl waiting back home to try and hope are a man can make it. It is a

very daring rescue, done very Dering Lines. I have to say, I rather

enjoyed it, I thought there were moments that had me on the edge of

my seat, and moments when I thought... Wallowing in 50s

Americana. It's amazing how many films or around at the moment but do

precisely that, wallow in 50s Americana, Brooklyn, Carol... Both

very different films but there is something about the 50s... It was

the heyday of the cinema. People used to go to the cinema in droves

and they appealed to the romance of going to the movies by using the

romantic era of movie-going. Disaster movies... That is what it

captures, we are in a new century, don't forget, it's trying to hook a

new generation onto the romance. A final thought... The idea that I

always thought, to be in a lifeboat crew, when you know that people are

in trouble, because you shouldn't be going out there is quite

extraordinary. But they have to, that is their job. It's all about

Judy and the job and proving something, even though you have a

sweetheart back home, you have to go through the waves. It does it very

well, it is what it is but I thought did rather well, that than it looks,

in fact, and it sounds. We are going to disagree about your best movie. A

Bigger Splash, Ralph Fiennes and Tilda Swinton on a holiday from

hell. Is this because you had a holiday interruption? No, I think

Ralph Fiennes is wonderful, I have slight reservations about Tilda

Swinton and I have seen her with this director before and I

thought... I am bored, I am bored... I liked it a lot. She doesn't speak

on this. She is mute. I knew you liked it, I've called what she said.

It was a time of my life and be personal reasons I was all that

affords, I didn't want to say anything. Hello... She is one of

those actors, you trust what is on the screen, not offered, she can get

a bit lobby about the whole thing. It was her idea, she this rock star

who is in retreat cause of her voice, she is taking the summer off

not to sing because of a throat operation, her idea, the director

said, here is the script, she said, I think I should do it mute and he

said OK. I think it works, she plays it down and Ralph Fiennes plays it

big, it's one of those... The David Hockney type... The ripples

extending and there is something, nasty, looking at the bottom. We

believe it to the viewers. DVD? Spectre. They are auctioning off the

Aston Martin. In celebration... The James Bond movie, Daniel Craig, his

last James Bond? He looks tired. He dolls, a bit. What did you think?

You have to go and see James Bond movies, it's an event. You have got

to complete the set. I thought it was be minors. You have to have seen

the other Bond movies to get it because it dances through all of

them, the moves from Roger emerge easiness, Sean Connery match owners,

Timothy Dalton kind of seriousness... I think it has all

the Bond movies in one. Definitely worth seeing, especially for the

opening sequence and the DVD, you can go through the theme tune for

double speed and miss it. If you can work out what the villain is doing

the Llanelli, you are a better man than me. He is quite good. But I

think it looks like a mad dentist. It is worth watching. Definitely.

Good afternoon. A cloudy afternoon for some of us, starting off crisp

and
