Amazing film action all the time with a touch of love
Sir Ben Kingsley and Sir Anthony Hopkins together, backed up by Nicholas Hoult, well what could be better? Sasha Robertson should be very proud of this line up.We have all experienced action movies with car chases, but the use of the cars in Collide is superb. Scenes that the Fast & Furious franchise would be envious of.It is not without continuity faults but they can be forgiven for the story line, cast and beautiful cars, (alas,some of which are destroyed).Watch it, enjoy it and then watch it again.
Casey (Hoult) and Julia (Jones) fall in love, but Julia needs a kidney transplant. Casey decides to go back to work as a driver for his old boss Geran (Kingsley) running drugs to get the money for the operation. Because Geran's partner Kahl (Hopkins) won't treat him like an equal, Geran decides to hijack one of Kahl's drug shipments. Oh, oh!This is a most exciting movie mostly because of the spectacular vehicle stunts whether or not using CGI. The driving and the crashes are actually things of beauty and the choreography of these stunts must be applauded. Kudos. You think you have seen crashes? Not like these. Fasten your seat belt. Casey and his friend Matthias (Marwan Kenzari) plan how the heist will go, but, of course, things don't go exactly according to their plan. Kahl discovers his truck has been hijacked and now Casey is on the run from Kahl's men with guns ablazing. The rest of the movie is Casey on the run from Kahl's men and, at times, you think he is stopped, but hey, this is a movie and he escapes time after time. Kind of unbelievable. The photography and the editing are spot on terrific and the pacing won't let you relax. Kudos.The acting all around is good although we see Ben Kingsley's character in a quite animated role and Anthony Hopkins' character likes to quote Shakespeare at times. The music is nothing but heart stomping good. There is somewhat of twist in here, but nothing you have to try to figure out. You'll see. (7/10)Violence: Yes. Sex: No. Nudity: No. Language: No.
Another waste of time. This movie is just about car chasing/races dressed up with a very small touch of romance. It's ridiculous and pointless. There are no surprises. You would think by the actors that it might be good but no, it's a complete waste of time. Watch something else if you can.
