Eagle-Rider

I liked this one. It was creepy enough to keep you engaged and the acting was good as well. Especially Dan Stevens pulled off a pretty good German accent and also some very decent German. In the end he slipped a few times but it is always nice to hear that directors make an effort to have their actors speak proper German if they portray german-speaking people. The movie fell into some familiar patterns but still felt fresh enough for me to enjoy it. Not sure if there will be sequels but there might be if this one is successful enough. Now I have to stretch out this review to reach the amount of required characters.

I am very critical of our film-making which is either outright boring and too ordinary (haha), or consists of period dramas from WW II or some other war or crisis. The Ordinaries is different, it feels fresh and new. Don't take the whole thing too seriously, see it as a surrealistic allegory, cherish it for the nice ideas it has, its humor and its seamless execution. The only flaw is that the audio sometimes feels a little off, I think there was a lot of dubbing in post-production involved. But the performances of the cast, the low key, but well executed special effects, the cinematography and the creativity involved make this a really enjoyable movie.
