Brilliant drama, and keep you enthralled the whole time - the in depth portrayal of Riggan is great, and Its a shame Keaton did't get the oscar... but still nominated, and I htink a lot o people thought he would.

Its pretty rare to see a movie like this - such an indepth portrayal of a single character, with the incredible pressures and messed up life of en ex hollywood actor, now in the middle of a whirlwhind of a stage production.

Keaton really carries this, and after seeing it, you will have a lot more regard for him. But its not just Keaton, Emma Stone, Edeard Norton, and many other actors do it. The surreal aspect of it all is great, with the constant shift between what is real and what isn't.

For a part of ww2 that not a lot of people would be familiar with, this was a movie about the fight for Finland against Russia.

Finland lost the war, but it was how it was fought that stood out. It was the only country that managed to not be taken over by the Eastern Block. The movie shows all the realities of war, and the patterns and emotions of soldiers, their families and what happens during the war.

It is really gripping, and you really don't know whats going to happen, but one thing I found done well was the personalities of the different soldiers, and how they worked together. The conlfict between the average soldiers and the commanders that were out of touch with reality was dramatic.

Great acting, action scenes, and authentic. The only thing I would question was that the Finns are shown with just small arms fighting tanks and plances, where the reality was, the FInns did hae their own tanks and plances, which were used to great effect.

Overall, a great war movie, and I would put this in the top 10 of war movies I have seen, certainly in front of many Hollywood movies.

Lots of action, with a continuous flow of action, martila arts and gunfights. Statham i s particularly in his element here, the interesting thing perhaps is the central figure of veronica parker, torn between her duty and justice.

The beekeper is bent on righting rights, when clearly the system is not working. Despite a simplistic plot, the mythology of the beekeeper, his invulnerability adds to the action - almost a meta comment on Stathams action heroes in general.

Jereemy Northam and Raver Lampton are great in this, as is Statham in his usual role. Definitely one of Statham's better action movies.
