Gerard Johnson’s Tough London Thriller – SXSW

“A little hardness, this is one,” is the first prophetic words of this exciting urban excitement by Gerard Johnson, born in East London. OdysseyThe protagonist, Natasha Flynn (Polly Mapley), has the age of wisdom, and we see his removal closely. Thanks the heavens for the small mercy, however; Although it shows some severe violence in the final film, this is nothing compared to the outskirts Muscles (2019), or horrific scenes of sex trafficking in those that preceded, Hyena (2014).
Johnson’s Forte is the manchon gangs movie, as all of his films interrogate the relationship between good and evil. For the first time, Tony (2009), it was a sympathetic study of the London serial killer in London, while Hyena It was a lot on the nose, being it Bad lieutenantA story similar to a corrupt policeman working in the drug squad in the capital. Drama has a gym in Newcastle Muscles – A rare change in the scene of the director – Johnson prepared two copies, The Angel Cut and The Devil Cut, the latter who is characterized by an explicit content of the sexual party mentioned above.
It takes some time to see where Odyssey For beginners, Johnson Film Film Film Film Film is suitable for female. Natasha Flynn is a Turk agent, the owner of a company called Flynn (Live: Live and Leave Live “) and the head of two employees. So – a pair of amazing gay men.
Natasha is the master of her world, and she is in the process of negotiating the integration process that will witness that her company grows into a much larger new office space. But as we already know, there are cracks that appear in the designer lifestyle. First, her credit card is rejected in the dentist, then comes a series of phone calls: ten messages from her friend Sophie and many of the bank. Sophie wants to recover her money, and the bank’s manager wants to discuss her payment plans to obtain a commercial loan, and during the late night in a dazzling club very The oppressive director (“Dan Bank”, calls it).
Meanwhile, there is something in the background that is the news that another real estate agent, Douglas Kelly, has disappeared in mysterious circumstances. Her self -absorption is as it is, Natasha knows good and cannot be interested in less (after all, this is someone who says, on the phone, “When will you do something for him IOh mom? )) But when it begins that the merger appears to be heading south, Natasha is forced into the difficult situation – a situation that includes the missing man and an offer that cannot be rejected.
If the variable face is London back to TonyIn the forefront and the middle in OdysseyWhich, in her heart, is to send from the occupied lands. Old London has gone, replaced by wine bars, craftsmen, as well as many real estate agents (in one scene, Natasha hunts the only man who can help her-“Vikings”-through a series of the few old schools that left in Camden). Improvement is an expired deal, and Natasha, it can be said to satisfy the demand.
However, the main player in all of this procedure is the money, the place where the concept of good and evil plays, which led to the “respectable” income flows of Natasha against the “dirty” money that it promises to save. But why is Dan’s loan any naive more than Sufi, because the only reason you ask again is “we need this money for horses”? As mentioned above, below. But more destroyed is the way we rooted Johnson Latasha morally doubtful, which let her credit adhere to the wind – like tenants, who understood the truth of the meaning of the buyer’s remorse – however he somehow finds money to finance the cocaine habit.
The Key to the success of the movie is Lady Maberly, the great British actress who seems to have been hidden in the sight of the horizon so far. Maberly is the glue that connects what can look easily as two different texts cut into two halves and confused together; As a result, the film really works to earn a dramatic dramatic transformation that builds to a peak that involves an abandoned farm, huge weapons of weapons and a glowing Pentagram carved on the floor plates.
A special mention of the electronic result by the regular Johnson composer – his brother Matt, also known as the The The – which determines the electronic result. It should be noted that a wonderful new song, “I need it”, which is a duet that recounts a series of contradictions (“I want it / I do not want it / I need it / I do not need it”) in capitalist criticism that makes the ideal anthem of this new strain of anti -counter.
