richard-149's rating
Medellin is being filmed with majesty. The theme is interesting and original, but not very well developed. The writer becomes too easily entrenched into the criminal path. Also, we do not have many hints to understand his despair, his story. But this is not as bad as the acting; too bad, but it is disturbing, especially the young killers...
That is one of the best movies I have seen so far this year. It is clever, interesting despite a few "longueurs", and well played. My guess is that soon, Americans will make an American version of this movie, as they did with Three Men and a Baby, or Nikita. Probably because this movie may look "too French" to American moviegoers; But, go and see this movie in its original format: it proves that the French cinema is alive and in good shape.
I am giving a 9/10 to this movie, and Elizabeth Taylor deserves at least 7 of these points. I don't know her very much, and would have thought that she was just a "star" and not a real actress. But now I have to think again: she absolutely steals the movie. Very impressive. And troubling. A movie that sticks with you for a long time after you have left the theater.
