Review of Terminal (2018) by Viniciusbrito — 11 May 2018

Terminal is a pretty peculiar movie, much because of his old school visuals and different atmosphere, some aspects that you don't normally see in movies these days. With a clear Noir environment this movies does put you into that investigation climate, that doesn't give you everything at the beginning and kind let you lost during a considerable part of the movie, and they give you piece to piece to try find out what is going on.

The movie is about a revenge story. Two hit men, get into a mission commissioned by a mysterious person, and they meet Annie, wich have some to do with what is going on.

I loved the movie cinematography, it remembered me a lot of Blade Runner, but without the futuristic aspect, the whole neon colors that jumped into your face is much well done. Sometimes the movie talks to us with their color, putting in the face of the characters some light that represents something, or putting they dressing as a color that also is having some meaning in what is happening.

The acting was good for me, Margot Robbie is just amazing, she is interpreting with some over acting, some psycho lines and talking about death with a such natural and tormented way, the way she express and speaks worked a lot. Simon Pegg also did a good job, one of the best moments of the film is when his character and Margot character is taking a time to talk, talking madness. Mike Myers did an ok job, he didn't had much to do, but as an actor was very functional.

The story did had some flops, somethings that I couldn't get along, they just have some ideas that doesn't feel right, some coincidenses that I don't buy, it does have multiple plot twists, some of them are really predictables, some aren't, but none get you like "wooow" wich I consider a problem, considering that it happens some many times. The movie doesn't make us feel that there is a world happening around, it doesn't have people living, it really doesn't feel like that is real, that got me off the movie sometimes. The sotry does have 2 nucleos, that are a little connected but actually aren't, that felt a little awkward, but was ok. And doesn't happen much things during the movie, it feels like you could watch the begninning and jump to the end.

That is an ok movie to watch, you won't get any surprised while watching, but it is a ok story with nice interpretations.
