Re: Movie Club Discussion!

I've seen the movie several times before, so I can't exactly give my first impressions. It's really fantastic, though.

I think the most interesting thing about it is probably the cinematography and the directing and the humor - Frost and Pegg are very good, but not much different or more likable than any other Frost and Pegg movie, and the actual plot etc of the movie is pretty dang thin. What's really striking is how clever everything is, and much thought has clearly gone in to so many small details. The way that the whole first half of the movie sets up this elaborate structure, and then just plays all of it off - it's just really impressive and also really satisfying. And also, the direction is so spot-on from an action movie point of view. It's really incredible how quick all the cuts are and how fluent it all is, all the way through, and again how differently the action direction plays in the first half of the movie where it's humorous compared to the second half where it's actual action. It's so well-done.

Great movie. Love it.

I also really love how the first half sets up everything. I love when stories call back and neatly tie up all these little things that come up in the story (the best book version of this I know of is NOS4A2).

And yeah, it definitely hits all those action movie buttons. The only thing it is missing is shaky cam but that was popularized after this movie came out (I think).
