Best action movie of the year - "Collectors". Beautiful realistic action, clear characters, pleasant dialogues, positive atmosphere (not a single episode with dominant cold colors). What's good about The Mission besides the fight in the bathroom? I remember sitting in the hall, dying of boredom and not leaving only because of greed.
Best Asian Action Film - "The Night Follows Us" There were absolutely no competitors, if you don’t take into account “Project Gutenberg,” which has not yet been released in voice-over.
The main disappointment is "22 miles", of course. It’s immediately obvious that the budget was cut, blatant impudence. I didn’t even watch Escape Plan 2, considering that I didn’t like the first part. And “Manhunt” is not such a disappointment, it is clear that John Woo has been out of shape for a long time, but, oddly enough, the only plus of the film is in the action: the shootings, as always, are at their best.
Comeback - Louis Mandylor. I haven’t seen him since “The Chinese Policeman”, I came back to light it up.
The most anticipated films. “Triple Threat”, “Ip Man 4” and “Master Z” I look forward to and believe in them. I don’t believe in “Project X” and “John Wick 3,” even though I’m waiting.
