CRONENBERG AND IRONS AT THEIR BEST

Good horror movies are the ones that mimic the reality as much as possible and the best ones are those that have their base dug deep into the psychology.

„Dead Ringers” is one of those flicks, giving us the truly twisted story about the identical twins that share their business and private life seemingly without remorse.

Jeremy Irons portrays both characters with a terrifying ease as the script takes the similar dive into the disturbing world of true pathology and perversion, climaxing in a saddening end.

„Dead Ringers” is the best Cronenberg’s flick and the best role Jeremy Irons played in his career.

CRAFTY, BUT RETARDED

Filming the computer games is always a futile effort. However good, the script would inevitably succumb to the emptiness of the basic plot. I mean, a templar corporation seeks the descendants of the medieval hitman's guild so they can find the Apple of Eden for them by using the machine for regression to the momories of their ancestors... C'mon, people!

However, Justin Kurzel manages to make the „Assassin's creed” visually viable, despite the CGI overload that comes with it. Atmosphere in the present day will also be interesting, as is the overall „A” class casting (Fassbender, Cotillard, Irons, Rampling). On the other hand, the story is just blatantly stupid, while the ending is comparable in its abruptness only to second part of „Hobbit” franchise.

„Assassin's creed” is the movie for the gamers and box-office suckers and nobody else.
