CINEmelma: predators

Letale come pochi, questo Predators, coi suoi 106 minuti in cui non accade quasi nulla e quel poco che accade è sempre uguale e prevedibile con largo anticipo.

Dei tizi che per vari motivi hanno una certa confidenza con la morte (forze speciali, serial killer, yakuza, condannati a morte...) vengono di punto in bianco catapultati su un pianeta alieno, dove i graziosi Predators danno loro la caccia.
Ora non iniziate a chiedermi cosa altro prevede la trama: è davvero tutta qui.
E mi starebbe anche bene, se ci fosse azione degna di questo nome ed un minimo di tensione; invece, pura noia.

A condire il tutto, dialoghi fatti interamente di one-liner ed una regia piattissima (peccato per il tizio del tutto sommato degno Vacancy); si segnalano poi delle prove attoriali da denuncia penale, sulle quali svetta un Adrien Brody che io già in tempi non sospetti avevo battezzato come un mediocrissimo interprete. Qui, ci delizia con una serie di antologiche facce da triglia davvero da non perdere.

Come se non ci fosse limite al peggio, Danny Trejo muore quasi subito. Del tutto inaccettabile...

Voto: 1 - me lo sono quasi dormito.

Biografia:
The son of Hungarian-born photographer Sylvia Plachy and retired history professor Elliot Brody, Adrien Brody grew up an only child in the Woodhaven section of Queens, New York, where he accompanied his mother on assignments for the Village Voice. He credits her with making him feel comfortable in front of the camera. He attended the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and LaGuardia High School for the Performing Arts in New York. Despite a strong performance in The Thin Red Line (1998), time constraints forced the director to edit out much of Adrien's part. In spite of his later work with Spike Lee and Barry Levinson, he never became the star many expected he would become until Roman Polanski called on him to play a celebrated Jewish pianist in Nazi-occupied Warsaw. He pulled off a brilliant performance in The Pianist (2002), drawing on the heritage and rare dialect of his Polish grandmother, as well as his father, who lost family members during the Holocaust, and his mother, who fled Communist Hungary as a child during the 1956 uprising against the Soviet Union.

Trivia random: He was furious when his nose was broken during the final fight in Summer of Sam (1999). When he had it fixed, he didn't change it: his nose is one of his most distinctive features and sets him apart from other actors.
Citazione random: [On proclaiming himself a magician at age five] "I was an amazing Adrien. I may still be at times. In retrospect, I see that was my first performance. And you know a lot about magic is not just the trick, it's the pattern. It's the delivery. It's the presentation. And this is why you're going to be amazed."
Salario massimo: $2,750,000, per The Village (2004)
