The criminal insurgent "The Carrier: The Legacy". Reviews of the movie

The film "Carrier: The Legacy" (actors - Ed Skrein, Ray Stevenson, Loan Shabanol, Gabriella Wright, Tatiana Paikovich and others) is a new project by Luc Besson, the result of chaotic changes in the cast and within the group of the film's creators.

Instead of the brutal Statham photogenic Scrien

More than a decade ago, the famous producer (director, director, screenwriter) Luc Besson and director Louis Leterrier came to the world of Jason Statham, making him the main character of the cycle of criminal fighters "Carrier." Participation in the trilogy made the actor super popular and very highly paid. Over time, Statham's fees became fabulous, so the creators decided to replace him with Ed Skrein. Now he is the main character in Besson's new brainchild "Carrier: The Legacy". Reviews of the film immediately noted the replacement of the main character, and in a negative way. Srejn is a model rather than an actor, he positively poses, builds eyes and plays with muscles, but he is not categorically perceived as a soldier capable of neutralizing a dozen people in a fight. Depressing and the choice of actress for the role of the protagonist, Lohan Shabanol is not impressive as an actress, while it is not very pretty externally.

Restart the trilogy

This misses the novelty did not end. And the reviews of the film "The Carrier: The Legacy" did not forget to mention another incomprehensible castling, this time among the creators. The director of the picture was little-known director Camille Delamarr, so from the formula for the success of the trilogy there was only Besson. Nevertheless, "Heritage" outperforms the previous, third part of the cycle, although Ed Skryne was a weak substitute for Jason Staham, despite having left the "Game of Thrones" for the sake of a large screen. But in comparison with the original criminal insurgent of 2002, which made an indelible impression on the audience and gained the status of a cult, the restart of the "Carrier: Heritage" trilogy (the confirmation of the film confirms this) frankly loses.

The success formula from Besson

The first "Carrier" instantly became successful for many reasons (and Jason Statham's charisma among them). A huge role was played by the participation of the legendary action choreographer Hong Kong, Corey Yuen, who taught how to properly shoot scenes of hand-to-hand combat. And the unpretentious and battered story of Luke Besson about the silent tough guy has become phenomenally popular. After the triumph, the producer decided to develop the obtained formula of success independently, which he obtained with varying success - the sequel turned out to be a cartoonish one, and the third picture was similar to cutting the most successful moments from the first two. Therefore, the main inspirer decided to restart the cycle with a very modest budget - the film "Carrier: The Legacy." Actors coped with the task set by the director, although there is not one star name among the cast members.

The fourth film

Reviews and reviews on the film "Carrier: Heritage" are called several positive moments of the picture. Interesting and intriguing intrigue - Frank Martin and four fighting beautiful girlfriends - this storyline brings a comparison with the recent "Mad Max" that flatter the film. Introduction to the narrative of the father of the protagonist of the performance of Ray Stevenson causes an association with "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade." And, assuring all those around him that he is an ordinary sales representative, Martin the elder demonstrates excellent combat training and remarkable wit. And the reviews about the film "Carrier: Heritage" did not miss this curious fact.

Plot

Former professional military Frank Martin (Ed Skrine) earns a comfortable existence by doing risky transportation. The hero in certain sectors of society is famous for the observance of agreements, punctuality and laconicity. But by agreeing to a new order, Frank contacts the customer, who involves in embarrassment not only him, but his father, forcing him to confront a whole gang of steep Russian bandits. So you can, without revealing the main intrigue, briefly describe the plot lines of the picture "Carrier: The Legacy."

About the film

Reviews, reviews the main problem of "Heritage" is that it is a story about anyone, but not about the Carrier. Frank Martin is constantly pushed to the background by all the heroes resolutely, and our compatriot Yuri Kolokolnikov, who played the role of one of the villains, including. The performer of the main role catastrophically lacks brutality, he looks like a model, and not a former commando, trained to kill with one glance only. Although in some action episodes this impression is somewhat dissipated. Still, Besson can shoot and put dizzy car chases and brisk melee fights. Evaluating the "Carrier: Heritage", reviews of the film mark the scene of the bout, which takes place in a very narrow corridor, where the hero actively uses all the surrounding objects (cupboards with retractable shelves).

A great achievement

Pleases that fact, that during creation of a film of necessity in artful and refined installation conditions did not arise, therefore and the camera shook not especially strongly. The picture causes a sufficient number of pleasant associations, there is a lot of frisky action. Therefore, "Carrier: Heritage" reviews of the film is generally called a good film, noting that the cycle has finally ceased to roll into the tartar.
