Wasteland

If you know the Misfits TV show and you like London inner-city slang, you will be happy about this movie as well. Not only are there a few actors from the show, but even the story is pretty rough, which is something you can deduce from the movie title itself. Don’t expect a biographical film about Barbies, but rather a tough, uncompromising and poorly handled break-in, which starts out as a fairly simple story of tough boys on the outskirts of an American city, all complemented by the modern-day electronic music. The result is pretty good, but it’s not really worth a re-watch. (23/04/2014)

And yet another British crime, which again features a familiar actor in its storyline. This time it's Timothy Spall, who looks quite normal here. Well, it's not about him, primarily it's about a group of young men, whose leader wants to avenge the time he had to spend in jail. The creators play with storytelling in an interesting way, jumping between the present and the past, but thanks to the colorful execution, it is quite easy to follow. The flashbacks are visually distinct. Towards the end, it becomes quite a good ride, but when it comes to the script, we can't really talk about a completely perfect plot. The whole thing is a bit... overdone? Yes, that would be the most fitting adjective. (15/01/2014)
