Move On

I had no idea of the concept of this movie, having just plucked it from the Mads Mikkelsen back catalogue, and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. I liked the central character, and there was just enough information and pathos (being generated by Mads) to make him both sympathetic and intriguing.

The cinematography was excellent, the pace was brisk but always unpredictable and the car chases were great. I particularly liked the Hungarian section, from the moment Mark hit the deer with his car to the moment he drove his mended car from his kind host's house, I was in heaven. My only real criticism was I would have liked a few more of those human interactions, and perhaps a bit more of a flavour of Mark's past somehow. Nice movie, crisply made, entertaining and a great ending that just left me laughing out loud with wtf appreciation - as a big fan of the existential payoff!

'Move On' is an interesting one!

I've not researched it in-depth or anything (odd that it doesn't even have an English Wikipedia article) but it seems like this was some sorta experiment in that it's referred to as "the road movie inspired by you" and produced by Deutsche Telekom (aka T-Mobile). It definitely feels like something experimental, almost video game-y. It's nought perfect, but I enjoyed it enough somehow.

Road trip movies do tend to come out quite well as they seem relatively easy to keep interesting and (pardon the pun) moving. It features a solid display from Mads Mikkelsen, while those behind the lead are satisfactory. The look of this flick is pleasant throughout as it traverses Europe; on that note, the onscreen map did seem poorly added editing-wise... nothing major, just jars ever so minutely.

Not one to expect massive amounts from, but one that I'd suggest is worth a watch... though others disagree and I disliked Mikkelsen's 'The Hunt' which everyone loves so who am I to say!😄 I totally get the difference in opinion on this occasion, mind you... it just worked for me, that's all.

I recently watched Move On from 2012, and I've got to say, it's a pretty impressive film. Mads Mikkelsen really shines in this one, you can tell he's fully invested in his character. It's almost as if he's not just acting, but living the role. His performance is so convincing that it blurs the lines between fiction and reality.

The plot of the movie is quite engaging, with a good mix of drama and suspense. It keeps you on your toes, wondering what's going to happen next. There's a certain depth to the storyline that I really appreciate, however I think the the overall depth of the movie is missing.

Visually, the movie is stunning. The cinematography and the locations are spot on, and it is nice to see what other parts of Eastern Europe that I don't know in real life have to offer.

The pacing of Move On is another aspect that stood out to me. It's well-balanced, with just the right amount of tension and relief. The movie doesn't rush through its story, but it doesn't drag either. It hits that sweet spot where you're entertained throughout but also left wanting more.

If I had to rate it, I'd give Move On a solid 8/10. It's a movie that stays with you after you've seen it, largely thanks to Mads Mikkelsen's stellar performance and the intriguing plot. Definitely worth a watch if you're into films that are a bit off the beaten path but thoroughly engaging.

This is a fun, fast-paced movie. I stumbled upon it while looking for more Mads Mikkelsen. Move On has one of the best car chase scenes I've ever seen. It must've been a fun sequence for the actors to shoot. I wonder how much of the driving they got to do. The other highlight of this movie is the scenery (including Mads, of course). It was filmed in several different cities. The final scene was filmed at Lake Globocica in Macedonia. This location stood out because Mad's character rows a boat out to a huge unexpected hole in the lake. The only reason I didn't give this movie a "10" is I would've liked to have more development of the main character's back story. The suitcase seems to be a symbol of his baggage but we don't learn enough about it.

Road movie is a long-time genre, and there are usually 2 types of them: a) a merry company is willing to experience new people and places b) a single person is willing to find his or her inner self or something/someone missing. For this matter, Move On is different, as the leading character has a task to fulfill (rather dubious one), but unintended changes in plans bring him into novel places and novel situations. The distances are long, and thanks to Europe's not-so-large-area, we see a lot of wonderful landscapes, towns and events - as the film is project-based and contains inputs from different views.

And in the center of all this - a magnificent Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen, who is most of the time alone on the screen, are there are not many actors who could fill out the course of events, so you are not feel bored and try not to notice evident flaws and gaps in the plot, uneven run of the latter. Yet, there were some twists and gripping chases, but particularly due to Mikkelsen's performance, I can give strong 7 points to this film.

PS To those who saw Move On as a car commercial - it would have ridiculous to hide symbols on the cars :) For me, product placement was not conspicuous, I was focusing on other elements.
