"Pobre action movie just for hardcore (...) Swayze" - Fernando Morales DIARIO EL PAIS
" Classic 80's essential, with a Patrick Swayze excellent " - Dante Cantabria celluloid Hostias
" Lars Von Triers? And who is that? " - San Raimi, answering a reporter's question at the last Cannes Festival, it seemed "Film" for his "majesty" and in particular its last truño.
The first date is a classic view of a critic "serious" in the eighties on any movie you smelled the hosts and throws (as my grandfather), which can be extrapolated to any film that is reviewed in this wonderful blog.
In the second appointment, I am, doing justice, as we Bronson (any day I bought a M-16 and I take a walk through the newsroom of several newspapers "respectable" certain revistillas banana and some other shit Web site)
The third date, I just wanted to put juas juas .... good to topic ...
profession is hard
Road House (1989) Rowdy Herrington
For those who thought back in 1989 that the actor and dancer Patrick Swaize served as wet panties just twenty yearlings due to the success of films like Dirty Dancing (which has little dirty and still gives many turns to "Dancer in the Dark" the almighty, omnipotent, and self-proclaimed best director in the world and probably of all time the distinguished Lars "Engañatontos" Von Triers) we got a pleasant surprise with his rather powerful trilogy, which to us really love movies, that of life made us more pleasant a time in which there was little seeing as we thought it was all invented. I refer to "Next of Kin" (1989) classic tale of revenge and perhaps most of all lie still, followed by the present one which culminated with the stunning "I call Body" (1991) or "Pointbreak" (Horrendous title in English, which pulls back, but takes the pull of Patrick and Keanu "Speed" Reeves, co-star was still very green.
First of all, I meant that as I am committed to write to Mr A critique of this clasicazo, I must confess that I could review, and that shit DVD player I have (cost me 29 euros in Carrefour), not take, so we'll pull historical memory. So I guess the chronological order was conspicuous by its absence, but good Paddle. Then if you want me to give birth do them I'll understand and I'll buy a DVD like god
Directed by the producer Joel Silver (Die Hard, Lethal Weapon), the "80's Jerry Bruckheimer, and directed by the right craftsman Rowdy Herrington (Deadly Pursuit, with friend macizorras Bruce Willis and his ex-wife), we get the amazing dedication of Patrick as action star. Despite the logical reluctance to look closely at the VHS, with our hero leaning on a face brick building, marking-looking package and get to dance salsa, but considering that he had seen "Her Own Rules", I decided give it a try since I had called attention to the trailer. So pay the 300 pts, I went home and see what happens .....
MRA: I put the trailer now, because I imagine that something like this is what Dante had seen on a VHS
The movie starts well: we Patricio (with 100% eighties look, or fardahuevos jeans, silk camisilla boots, "Lick my Chupame the tip and heel" and the corresponding hairstyle "Mullet", which as you know a more melenilla behind, the harder you were at that time) supported in a local bar also typically eighties, looking dodgy, have fun watching canis and casting glances at twenty yearlings complicit with that bouffant dance to the tune of "The Ronaldos ... oops! forgiveness, Modern Talking, that we are in USA.
In this and when it seemed that was going to get to dance, breaks a move unexpectedly Patricio appeased without using their keys to martial arts post-Buddhist views later, only with the eye of the tiger. Despite this, I crack a little, nothing serious, the usual. Funny how they are excellently choreographed fight scenes subsequent realistic and are each and every one of the blows.
I recently watched the second part, and that seemed to Matrix, imagine ...
Here, awed by the display appears Ben Patrick Tighe Friend (eternal child of countless films and television series, which certainly does not seem to pass the time), recently seen in the sympathetic "San Valentine 3D, which turns out to have a bareto in Missouri and I remember somewhere in the deep America called "double deuce", where every night the third world war breaks out and clear the man does not win for furniture and strips. So I hired Patrick, despite having killed a guy in the past (this fact, our hero tormented throughout the film, but not much that this is not "Gran Torino"), with a magical hit kung fu and the bad reputation drag, is the best security officer in a guild of disco. So I hired him to restore order among the vanguard of the "White trash" of the Reagan era. As you can see straight to the bottom: Presentation of character, profession and reasons why you know the movie is going to be at least entertaining. All this in 10 minutes, without any unnecessary mental straw gafapastoide title with 2 hours of prologue and above leave you understand anything (try to watch any movie of Michaelangelo Antonioni and know what I mean.) Total Patricio accepts the gigs, local leaves and see how your car is echo a Christ, he smiles and goes to a garage and gets good: a Mercedes that you shit (writer / director here tells us that Patrick is not only a nightclub bouncer, but is also smart, and classy, \u200b\u200bnot in vain a degree in philosophy)
So here goes, straight to the prairie town plan alone, as this is a post-modern western, in case anyone had not noticed. Once there is installed on a farm, you do not have the glamor and style of the van in which they live Martin Riggs in "Lethal Weapon", but serves as a "typical standard house cool action hero" on payment of rent ridiculous to "Reck neck" of the day, which happens to be a lovable old man (classic secondary to hurt that bad later so that the viewer is positioned more in favor of the main character)
I also believe that buying tires and various spare parts for the car (can not remember if he bought another trap, but I think if ... fucking DVD) he knows that he will be fucked.
buying, make friends with the grocer, a man with nice face (nothing to do with the mutants and Leatherface of the day, as we all know these places abound in the U.S.), and also has a niece (a sosita Kelly Lynch, a regular on cable TV movies and American movies) that is very good, is very thin, at the same nurse and it OH! Surprise! love is unrequited mob of people (a huge Ben Gazzara), which is behind most of the problems of the "Double Deuce."
At night, his friend Patrick on the premises and comes more as a client, dodging mob, Lorenzo Lamas and clones chonis air. Say hello to the singer of the band is playing (which incidentally is blind in real life has more or less the same success as Frank Stallone, which is neither good nor bad) asks for your drink and start looking at the muslin. One of the waiters puts his hand to the box, along drinking "for the face" every few minutes, and Patrick looks at him with disapproval. He then starts a fight and end up causing a blight porters much larger than a pimp they are trying to control, or is a mess. Once the site is closed, the leader gathers all the employees and introduces Dalton (here called Patrick Dalton and henceforth we will call ... Dalton)
Dalton begins shipping people, starting with a waitress who sells drugs and ending with the waiter sisador that OH! second surprise: turns out to be the nephew of Ben Gazzara and here is Brad Wesley, gangster prototipito Southern Midwestern American, a guy who despite being quite bastard, take a deliciously cheesy white suits and throwing glances of contempt adorned with a hijoputesca half smile, I always liked the guy and becomes a charming villain, the kind that you drop crappy and everything nice. In a scene from the movie point type drives his Cadillac convertible Sinatresca paced music, on a road two-way staggered and almost ramming the poor Dalton who was passing in contradireccion. All this without flinching, as if Dalton was a speck of dust pinned to the lapel of those who take away from a slap. At that time A Dalton is clear that Mr Wesley nobody pees in his garden.
After cleaning out unwanted, Dalton gives some simple guidelines to employees who remain, how should do a good doorman / bouncer that price, ie if a regular fight, the first being nice. If the troublemaker persists in, escorted. What the hell is still playing, for nothing, of all will be thrown to the street bitch and if possible after to applaud the face a little so if you graduated .... and without being provoked.
All this talk of Dalton, is accompanied by a swagger and bully attitude of the friend Patricio quite sharp, nothing to do with the characters that we had used Mr Swiz until then. I remember a puntazo during this sequence, in which one of the porters who stay, the more cock she asks with a sarcastic tone
Dalton
- What if someone comes and says that my mother is a whore, I do?
To which Dalton replied:
- Is it? - While enduring the laughter and see how the rooster looks with hatred (by the way, so check this in a moment of the film , To be taking a polvete in the attic during one night and no, no relation to Wesley, it would be to loop the loop).
From hache go by night, between brawl and brawl, leaving us several beautiful scenes on the first night, Dalton, after kick his ass one, it announces the blind singer microphone as if to go on stage "With you, Daltooonnnn" drawing a parallel between a musical and a performance by cast of hosts, thus presenting the other bar patrons and warning to potential troublemakers as Dalton "to give touch ", they will go really bad. And in another one of the bullies carry a knife in the boot (yes yes like the dove of "From Dusk Till Dawn", "will be a fan of this movie Robert Rodriguez and Tarantino?).
By day Dalton read philosophy, do Tai chi, (with exaggerated body smeared with oil, very eighties detail, by the way) teaches his ass to one of the waitresses that sympathetic when it will wake you up at home because Dalton sleeping naked, by the way the actress who plays the sympathetic waitress, Kathleen Wilhoite, is the charming and foul-mouthed Mcgee Arabella in "Murphy's Law" that classic of the great Charles Bronson in which our Bronson remains handcuffed to friends for much of the film in plan "fugitives chained" and the evening is dedicated to see how the friend Brad, who has the house next to the refuge of Dalton, stick a fucking parties contrasting lifestyle either. At night, during the gigs also works to avoid the air ... this slut Wesley current girlfriend, a tremendous Julie Michaels (double normal body eg Pamela Anderson among others, martial arts expert and occasional actress and a look on Google to your photos, you'll see how this lady ...) that just says a couple of words in the whole movie or you need to do and if in fact the couple of words they have to do with folleteo, and Dalton is that the guy does not learn.
Wesley, to probe Dalton invites him to his home and attracted by the reputation that precedes the boy invites him to join his organization. Given the negative logic of Dalton (this is not a film by Scorsese), Wesley decides to send their kids all the fucking Diaz to go and will inflate the Geba, Adriano de LCN would say hehe.
In one of their many moves, Dalton is injured on the same site where Rambo hurt in the third or either side so you have to come to the emergency room to sew it, well, not to guess who is the nurse ?...¡¡ Wesley unrequited love! haha to you not expecting it .. haha \u200b\u200b
So I stitched the wound, asks her out, Wesley learns, Dalton that the brush in his lair (tipical twilight dust, the old tune of Hannah Montana elevation and wall support included, of course) and Wesley fuming.
Dalton and then as mariachis are giving tow to the bullies of Wesley and Dalton also is brushing her aside unrequited love and his current girlfriend also wants to brush Dalton although the latter not applicable (uf, go mess, this appears as a film by Patrick Dempsey), Wesley decides to hire the "pimp of the year", the famous actor and martial arts expert Marshall Teague, normal bad "Walker Texas Ranger", right-big-budget movies (Armageddon comes in, for example), and a little less secondary Films series B in general, almost all arts martial.
also provides the voice of many games. His character is characterized by the classic neighborhood thug-faced bastard, dirty look and of course the Tai chi and philosophy passes over the crotch, as he is more like "Full Contact". Caution to detail, because it takes hoop earring with a small silver cross, is an indispensable complement to be dodgy in the late eighties and early nineties. Its intrinsic meaning is: "just look at me wrong, I'll kill you and then I put the cross in one ear and take her out the ass to blow, entiendeeeessss me!"
On one trip to the store's uncle former Wesley love to brush now Dalton (buf! these movies so complicated they kill me) Wesley Dalton is charging the above revolutionary tax, exchange insults to the mafia and intersects with Jimmy, which gives him a dirty look house brand.
Dalton realizes that he finally has a rival to beat, so also considering boycotting the supply Wesley drinks at "Double Deuce", as a measure of pressure to sell it to the headquarters and do import and export of cocaine (here the script was slipping a bit because we will see, is that there is no place fiddle made in that fucking cave ?...) Dalton decides to call his teacher and steals scenes for excellence and that from here Dalton disappears. With you all the great Wade Garret (San Elliot) seen in The Big Lebowski, The Hulk, when we were soldiers, the golden compass and TV series like The Yellow Rose, and multiple series of western movies starring b all. Here plays Dalton's mentor that exceeds charisma, toughness, style and effectiveness ahostiar when the bad guys.
casting a big hit and a bitch for the ego of Patrick Swiz. From here I claim a spin-off for the mythical character of San Elliot, a la Rocky Balboa.
Dalton and Garrett who had been partying with the weary and Wesley unrequited love is learned that the gangster and his henchmen are putting in the den so I will sing the forty and are all destroyed, along with Wesley taking Drinking Jimmy, the rest of thugs intimidating people and making a streptease Julie Michaels anthology on stage while the singer was blind retrieves the hearing before the impressive show the comebolsas. Dalton
"support" down to ignore his advances and throwing in a bad way to Wesley decides to throw over to Jimmy's prettier than her (I should have preferred to stay with the blonde, well ...)
begins a massive fight everybody against everybody, against Jimmy Dalton that with the help of Garret gets hold of the situation with great difficulty. Wesley shoots into the air and taken for the night settled ... for now.
Wesley, tired of the protagonist's ghost decides to destroy businesses, bitching to the villagers and set fire to the house of Dalton, the beloved home in a decision a little jerk, unless the premises were insured and Wesley himself was the beneficiary, which is not as difficult as it is the owner in the shadow of everything ... well, mysteries of the scripts eighties.
Until then Dalton had reconsidered, advised by Garret (all Garret Dalton talks not be missed always talking about the old days, two survivors as if they were about to die) long to protect the ex-love now Wesley brushing the same (which is heavy this chick, I always petarda callus is wrong) and the other people, but not before Jimmy crush is responsible for the fire.
So chases, catches it and face a fight without waste (with Jimmy letting go of things like
"In jail I loaded types better than you" - among other gems, hard, exciting, dirty and realistic (within realistic choreography can be also reminds me fights to the end of the series "Lethal Weapon" also produced by Joel Silver). So Dalton gives passport with the kung fu magic key that is ripping off the nut and pull the body of Jimmy the river screaming Wesleyyyy fuck!, a la Arnold in the final scenes of Predator.
The next day, Dalton, and recovered without hardly a scratch (¡¿?!) Wesley gets a call asking who prefers to die first: The Wesley's ex-love now brushes, or Garret, and to choose whether heads or tails. Dalton runs away and finds an echo Garret Christ in the bar, but alive, so I supposed to go for the girl. After arguing with her, that equates the brutality and madness of Wesley with that of the same, Dalton goes for Garrett to get away with off-site but to go find the Deuce is found dead in the bar with a knife sticking out of his chest along with a note that reads: "She looks cross."
Dalton, and all contorted heads home Wesley as a missile by sending its grants with the old trick of putting a stick on the accelerator to think that he is inside. When the car crashed into the farm, not Dalton. Inside the house begins to brush them all one by one, at least one bodyguard chubby and quite comical that Wesley is the favorite (as you see, the homoerotic temita was cleverly hidden in these films) when it is your turn to Wesley, This will loose a tirade super good, but not funny to be with phrases anthologies like this:
- Do you like my hunting trophies, Mr Dalton - Wesley is a typical character with the house full of deer heads and stuff like that ) - I only need one: "Your ass" - You see what I say with homo-erotic theme holiday?
Against all odds, Wesley is a hard nut to crack and puts him in a predicament
to shoot in the arm and give with a spear of those that are in the ethnic houses to show off Indiana Jones, but eventually cornered Dalton on a sofa and when to apply key features of Kung fu gold, appears petarda Wesley's ex-love of balls, which as I have said now and keeps it from pulling Dalton, Dalton is making the turn thinking that evil is already released, taking Wesley to try to attack him in the back (like in Lethal Weapon hehe).
then appear all the people, with firecrackers uncle is former love ........, (well you know), headed by shooting everyone with a joy that only occurs in southern United States, where everyone has a gun and if you're black you ready (there are none in the whole movie, weird, is not it?)
In short, red bunting, "hell cowards 2 "is over, all happy and Dalton that stays with you I said, half pub and all Mandanga suppose.
The truth is that in" My profession is tough, "the psychology of the characters do not is just one piece as in most of eighties action movies to use, it is true that the typical film where the bad are very bad and good, very good, and there is, besides the depth Swiz own actions, but if some try for want of a way to give some life to the other side and not end up being mere caricatures of their characters. This helps a topic and predictable script, yes, but a little more elaborate than the normal average for this type of films which gives a final product packaging, enjoy not only the usual action movie fans, but the You can see perfectly with your girlfriend or mother, the love triangle between Dalton, Wesley and the Blonde, the sexual tension between Dalton and Wesley's girlfriend, also with your father or grandfather - "I was in my youth had many hosts and Garret much charisma as this", or your friend flipao of martial arts and tai chi (all have a friend of these), with a friend, on the Swiz, you know: "That if woman you'll like, if the protagonist is" Dirty dancing ". It is ultimately one of the movies that appeal to almost everyone , except the usual, you know, those who run like Steven Seagal or is an almost sure bet.
BEST: Wade Garret (San Elliot), Ben Gazzara (Brad Wesley), Julie Michaels choreography fighting, eighties tune, topics and the "look" The cross slope of Jimmy (Marshall Teague), almost all have "Mullets", quite all Cojonudos dialogue (I can not play through my dvd cinetube shit now that I no buffering load), lameness "Supercool "Garrett, Julie Michaels, (this and put it on, no?)
WORST: The ex-love petarda Wesley which then brush Dalton, the" look "eighties and topics (is that depends on how you look, you can be the best or the worst), which forced some situations, muscled (for children) from Patrick Swiz to undermine the credibility of its role, the right direction, but somewhat flat Rowdy Herrington, the second part twenty years after ....
What is God of death? (Answer obvious: yes). Now I have another question for you, do not you do what is familiar pose? There are several hypotheses:
