Review of Widows (2018) by Karmazyn83 — 29 Jan 2019
I will tell you what we have here. A good, crime drama, thats what we have. This is movie about real woman who are about discover how to survive in the man dominated world. Against all odds female cast is forced to work together to ensure continuity of their existence.
When man dies and our female heroines want to maintain good standard of living instead of going to work, quick cashing in sounds like better alternative for them, right? So we have fantastic acting here.
There are lots of stars in this movie, everyone played really well. Among all of the great stars who played in the movie we have brilliant Viola Davis playing Veronica - a brain behind whole operation.
Against all odds she unites with Alice ,played by Elizabeth Debicki, Linda, our lovely and all fans favourite Michelle Rodriguez, and Belle, super athletic Cyntia Erivo. All of them lost their husbands in the heist that went wrong and Victoria who inherited her late husband (Liam Neesons) next heist's plans is forced to carry on heist in order to save herself from just a little bit crazy in the head Jatemme played by Daniele Kaluuya.
Lets not forget about Collin Farrell and Brian Tyree Henry who are in the movie to remind us that when it comes to money and power, greed and sick ambition do not distinguish between where you come from, when the game's stakes are high you will be dirty just like anyone else.
Movie is tense, well directed and I encourage everyone to watch it. Most of the actors are well characterized in their roles and offer genuine, well rounded perspective on how is to try to survive in mighty Chicago.
The plot can get little predictable but it does not matter much as movie is masterfully done. I give it 8/10 and encourage you to watch it.
