In mid-July, Brad Pitt announced to Gentlemen’s Quarterly magazine that he was quitting acting.

Even he is unable to identify even the faces of people he has known for decades. Pitt was diagnosed prosopagnosiaa neurological disorder for which came to be known as face blindness. A person suffering from it is able to recognize various objects, but not faces.
An exhausted Brad Pitt
So it’s fitting that he made the latest film with director David Leitch, who used to be Pitt’s stuntman (Spy Game, Troy, Mr. and Mrs. Smith) and went on to become a creator of popular action films such as John Wick, The Fast and the Furious: Hobbs and Shaw or Atomic Blond. But according to Maria Barešová, Brad Pitt did not get into new acting positions in the last film: “I admit that Brad Pitt’s performance will satisfy many fans, but for me he is exhausted as an actor. Lately, he keeps repeating the same guy“, said the critic in his address.

Marek Slovák praised the neon visuals or the imaginative event, during which the props and space of the train are cleverly worked with. He would highlight by far the most, right? the whole spectacle is one big pop culture remix that works not only as summer genre entertainment, but also as an act related to the history of audiovisual. Bullet Train, as a Hollywood adaptation of the Japanese novel by the author Kotaró Isaka, combines everything that is characteristic of his work: it mixes different genres, thematizes the role of fate and chance, and deals with contract killers with psychological problems, while there are traces of action and dark humor. On the other hand, the critic described it as often embarrassing.

Endless serial Strídavka
The European co-production drama Muréna, dealing with coming of age and defiance towards male society, also premiered. The new film can be described as female with exaggeration, as it was written and filmed by them (Antoneta Alamat Kusijanović), photographed (Hélène Louvartová) and acted by them (excellent and debutant Gracija Filipović). Muréna tells the story of a young girl critically reflecting on her father’s chauvinism, from which she can be helped by running away with an unknown stranger. Marie considers Muréna to be more of a summer movie than any blockbuster because Moray takes place by the sea, on a boat and on the Croatian coast. The beautiful scenery stands out thanks to the camera with long overall shots.

Petr Nikolaev’s new Czech comedy Strídavka is about 5 adults, 4 children and 3 families. According to Marek Slovák, there are too many characters and too many plots in the film. The screenwriter of the film, Lucie Konečná, is used to creating scenarios for so-called endless series, for which she created and transferred some of her habits to the film. “After the successful Czech genre film Hádko, Strídavka is a conservative value-affirming and badly directed ninety-minute film that acts like a montage of one series of an endless series,” commented the film’s critic.
Even popular actors Martin Hofmann and Jitka Čvančarová did not stop the evaluation of Marko Slovák, who Alternating current granted 20%.
The last film reviewed is Tigers, who reveal the behind-the-scenes of the sports environment. The drama shows the football environment as highly competitive and individualistic. The filmmakers were inspired by Martin Bengtsson’s autobiography “In the Shadow of San Siro”, who went through something similar when he was sold to the Italian club Inter Milan at the age of seventeen. Marie criticizes the novel only for the incomplete ending and less clarity about the experience of the protagonist in the second half. Marek, on the other hand, believes that the Tigers are a well-thought-out work of two halves, where the second cleverly utilizes everything from the first in a new context.
Both critics give the Tigers 80 %.
