CyRaptor posted:Out of morbid curiousity I just watched a handful of trailers for this on Youtube and literally every shot of this character has his right hand in his, er, apparently-not-pocket. What exactly is the story there? I'm almost afraid to ask. The main character is played by Jamel Debbouze (who also directs), who lost the use of his right arm. In his films his characters generally keep their right hand in their pockets so that this isn't immediately obvious unless you're actively looking for it. He's probably most well-known outside France as the slightly dim vegetable stall assistant in Amelie and as one of the four main characters in Days of Glory (where the arm thing is slightly more noticeable, since he can't use a rifle).

Jedit posted:^^^^ Adding more reasons not to watch that, I see. The only positive thing I've seen about it is the casting of Joe Gilgun as Cassidy. Eh, it's seems to have had quite a few mediocre reviews. For the broadsheets Peter Bradshaw also reviewed it for the Grauniad and gave it 3/5 and the Telegraph gave it 3/5. Variety's review (no star rating) echoes a bunch of the others I've seen: heaping praise on Hardy but being very lukewam about everything else. Granted I haven't seen it yet, but it seems like a fairly standard case of a great performance in an otherwise fairly run of the mill film. Incidentally, though I haven't read Total Film in ages I still assumed they were a fairly decentish source for film writing, but their Legend review seems really clunky and amateurish- anyone know if that's their standard now, or am I just being overly critical?

Gripweed posted:I was going to post it, but since it has already been posted, I will take you all on a four part jounrey of one picture of Nicolas Cage I've never seen a decent bit of promo art for this film. I wonder how many people have watched it thinking it's just another cheapo cage action flick and then are pretty much immediately confused (and delighted?) as hell
