Big Nothing (2006)
Every plan is perfect until it’s met by Flaw and Improvisation at the door. There are plenty of films about losers who try to get rich by breaking the law, sometimes even for a good cause, and this one stands out only in how quickly it piles on plot twists that prevent the viewer from thinking too deeply about the childishness of it all. Given the overall nature of the film, you can gradually guess whether the ending will lead to the hybrid saying, "He who laughs last, laughs green."
One Day as a Lion (2023)
What to do in Oklahoma when one doesn't live there... The Swabian gangsters from American backwaters can be visually appealing, in a way stylish, but here it becomes clear that they struggle to work with characters and the potential of their actors. Take, for example, the Brooklyn pizza man Frank Grillo, who clearly spends as many minutes in the gym daily as he uses the word "fuck" here, or Simmons, who got on his face what he will never have on his head again for the role. By the way, Scott Caan is not only resembling his father but also starting to "transform" into him through his acting.
Buď chlap! (2023)
The creators are rational. If it were just a Czech version of Walter Mitty about self-discovery and beautiful things that don’t ask for attention, no one would go to the movie theater. If we add the pseudo-seal Ondřej Sokol, who reaches a different kind of self-discovery in comedic mode, a few people might show up. But when the whole thing is built on a relationship plot with generic parameters, many more will be lured in! In the last third, during the strike of the Mountain Rescue Service employees, it reached a lobotomized phase that could only be saved by one thing: the roll of the end credits immediately after the bear ended the WTF scene of rolling on the meadow by biting off Jakub Prachař head. Some might even come for the natural horror.
