Destroyer (2018)
Pleasantly Surprised.
After reading a lot of bad reviews I had low expectations. Guess those reviewers where expecting an action packed movie with Nicole Kidman kicking ass.... Well, I can confirm that it is not that. It is, however a tense, exciting and dark drama story which kept me glued to the screen for the complete duration of the movie. I did not find the jumps between present/past confusing as mentioned by others. Kidman's performance was excellent and without her the movie would not have been the same. I also liked the finale twists.
Izzat (2005)
Norwegian action at its best
Norway is a country where you don't very often see good action movies because of its need in resources and the fact that our directors haven't really had the talent for it. This is definitely an exception where we get to see realistic gun fighting scenes which where shot from the older sections of Oslo city. The movie sets a new standard for Norwegian action movies
Izzat starts out in the Pakistanian gang environment in Oslo in the early 80's and gives a realistic picture on how they played out their role in organized crime. Director Ulrik Imtiaz Rolfsen grew up in the environment and used people he knows in his research for the film and that gives us a very realistic picture on how things where. I really enjoyed it and hope there is more to come !
