Jogo Assassino

No one pays me for ratings and I can tell you that I rarely find these little gems. The acting is very solid all around. The plot is just twisted enough but not confusing and keeps you wondering right up to the end. This is definitely a "Thriller" worthy of the label.

Rotten Tomatoes didn't like it much and there is talk of a hold-up in the release of this flick. I thought it was pretty good. If you like Silence of the Lambs type flicks and give it a willing suspension of disbelief, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. Plenty of star actors, great production value and crazy, crazy script. There are some holes here and there but hey, it was fun. Give it a chance.

This film tells the story of some police force members who investigates a man who kidnapped and imprisoned many women.

The plot starts off fairly promising, but soon derails into confusion. The characters' actions are poorly explained, and I just don't understand what is happening most fo the time. Then comes a big twist, which makes things even more confusing. One of the final scenes on the ice confuses me even more, and I just have no idea what I just watched. This film is a big disappointment, given the number of famous faces involved.

The twist and plot is rather mundane and could've done with a re-write and some reconsideration. Especially when Cavill's character and dynamics were all there for the taking.

In the end, secondary roles matter I and you need a high calibre villain. Parallel plots added a little interest but not much.

A few surprises for unobservant viewers and a great deal of hoping that it would be a better movie as I think Henry Cavill could do with more films enabling his progression in filmdom.

Ben Kingsley is underserved and any similarities or suggestions that this is akin to Silence of the Lambs are false.

I am not a wannabe critic waiting to be discovered , normal everyday bloke. So no comments on the lighting, script, audio, scenes, etc. If you want a semi suspenseful crime thriller, no insanely twisted plot, just a good film to spend time watching with chips and pop, then this hits the mark. I will say that I am a Ben Kingsley fan but that did not sway my view.
