I only saw it since it played at a rundown discount theater near me for a week.) Genius could be part of that, though. Mendelsohn can do wonders with those characters, but hopefully he gets more opportunities for diverse ones.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08596682195753811295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030627662498151745.post-4824433009997035332015-03-24T10:35:22.013-04:002015-03-24T10:35:22.013-04:00Thanks.

I think the male characters in this film grew up in an environment that didn't have as many women in submarines, so it makes sense that Law's character hired men for the job. I love movies about women, but this one works without a strong female character. That said, I'd fully support one or more female characters on the submarine. Apart from being progressive towards gender equality, it would add an interesting dynamic that's lacking in most submarine movies.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08596682195753811295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030627662498151745.post-25823168058854134652015-03-23T14:42:20.058-04:002015-03-23T14:42:20.058-04:00I was intrigued by the trailer but missed the cine...I was intrigued by the trailer but missed the cinema release.

A very interesting twist of the "heist" film (especially if you're aware of the differences between it and the "caper" variety).le0pard13https://www.blogger.com/profile/09421175808461787862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030627662498151745.post-78375213124388028962015-03-19T14:17:59.654-04:002015-03-19T14:17:59.654-04:00I've been anxious to see this since Law was ca...I've been anxious to see this since Law was cast. I'm ready for his comeback! I also love seeing more of Mendelsohn, but I hope he doesn't become the Oscarless Waltz, in that he's always cast for the same part. It would be a real shame, despite his obvious knack for that character.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030627662498151745.post-30822640397888505202015-03-19T13:41:25.003-04:002015-03-19T13:41:25.003-04:00I remember seeing the trailer for this one a few m...I remember seeing the trailer for this one a few months ago. I haven't seen it, though it's caused a lot of trouble for me on the Internet Movie Database. Basically, I saw the trailer and was surprised by the lack of gender diversity (and there is absolutely no reason why this film couldn't have had a strong female lead), and pointed it out on the board only to be met with a wave of infuriating replies. You can see the thread here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2261331/board/nest/235216156, and I've already made at least one post in response to one of these absurd remarks (http://hitchcocksworld.blogspot.ca/2014/10/it-is-possible-to-have-female-character.html), because how DARE I point out inequalities and encourage better representations of women in film.<br /><br />Okay, that's my rant out of the way. I guess I should have known at least one of the bloggers on my list would be covering this one sooner or later.
