Peneflix MOVIE REVIEWS BY PENEFLIX
Director James Hawes gifts viewers an intelligent vigilante scenario where revenge is not served cold but steaming hot and calculated by CIA decoder “Charlie Heller” (Rami Malek is at the top of his prodigious acuity); quiescent behavior not in his DNA, he brilliantly plots the demise of the murderers who stole his link to joy. Based on the 1981 novel by Robert Little it scores in instinctive gut-wrenching, tantalizing excitement; his muscularity lies in his mind and bests brawn perpetually; viewers are pleasingly titillated with each lethal success.
Cinematography worm-like slithers through iconic European cities, lushly invading, revealing their devious, crime-infested core. Charlie, a chameleon of style, blends insignificantly, anonymously into their distinct uniqueness; Charlie is not James Bond nor Jason Bourne; his appeal rests in his cunning genius, knowing despite the odds, his brain will transcend mighty mettle; at its center Charlie, unlike other action heroes, is not a killer; he is refreshingly nerdy, devotedly vengeful, compellingly idiosyncratic and someone viewers want to experience repeatedly.
