LouHomey From my favorite movies..

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

morrison-dylan-fan Channel- hopping a few years ago,I caught a snippet of the BBC Film Review show,where this stylish-looking flick was chosen as DVD of the week. Checking on Amazon,I was disappointed to see it be a bit pricey. Looking at Netflix UK a few days ago,I was not only surprised to find it on the site,but also see it was about to be removed,which led to me finally diagnosing the disorder.View on the film:Inspired by discussions with war photographers who talked about the difficult return to normal life and interviews with soldiers coming back from Afghanistan, co-writer/ (with Jean-Stéphane Bron & Robin Campillo) director Alice Winocour and cinematographer Georges Lechaptois detail the moments Vincent's PTSD rises to the surface with panning shots that single an isolated Vincent out in parties/when on guard duty. Dragging Vincent into the thankless job of taking care of an arms dealer family, Winocour takes the flick in a massive change of direction,by turning it into a home invasion Thriller,lined by tracking shots that run down darken corridors which feel like they go for miles, and stylish touch of having the attempts at home invasion take place at the edges of the screen.Kept somewhat in the dark over how deeply involved the family is in the arms trade,Diane Kruger gives an enticing performance as Jessie,who is given a snappy edge by Kruger over the protection of the children and doubts on the level of "safety" Vincent offers. Struggling to hold things together,Matthias Schoenaerts (who only slept 2 hours a day when filming) gives a smashing performance as Vincent,who Schoenaerts (who spent 2 years with Winocour trying to get this made) gives a bone crunching anger to in the action scenes,which Schoenaerts keeps rooted to the psychological damage of Vincent's disorder.

subxerogravity I think I was expecting more of an action thriller, but this movie was turned down to three.A guy name Vincent is hired to protect a woman and her son from bad guys looking harm her.Some action does happen in the movie, but it was very quiet and uneventful. A bit of a a shame cause I wanted to like the movie. It was very inventive in its scale.I think the real problem is that I'm not getting any personality from the main characters. I went to go see because Matthias Schoenaerts was the main character. I liked this guy in other movies, but he seemed dull heading up his own flick.I wanted to see the laid out plan work out, but I was not getting enough energy.http://cinemagardens.com

lodewhe This is a film with few dialogue. It was the soundtrack and the actors who must speak for themselves. But more could be done with this film and these actors. The genre is not quite clear: a character study of post-traumatic stress disorder? an thriller? an critical society film? Of course Matthias is superb, but I hope to see him also smiling. But the situation here is not for smiling. And why, fgs, must the title be changed from Maryland to Disorder? This English title don't explain anything more than the original title. Perhaps the better should be 'Matthias' (or Vincent) when it is all about a character study of the mean actor Matthias....

MariaLoathesDTWig This is not your usual "home invasion" film.It's above all an incredible sensory experience.Alice Winocur (who directed 2 years ago the magnificent "Augustine") creates a great combo between drama & paranoid thriller.And don't expect a love story ala Bodyguard. Matthias Schoenaerts is phenomenal as usual.It's quite an intense performance.You're truly seeing things through the eyes of his emotionally damaged character. Diane Kruger is also solid but the movie truly belongs to King Matthias.The ending could have been slightly better but it doesn't take anything away from the quality of the film. The soundtrack is also very catchy : Gaffelstein is a genius ! He creates a very atmospheric environment. A must see !
