Memory: Growing Old – Not for the Faint of Heart

April 29, 2022 by Jacob Sahms Leave a Comment

Liam Neeson has mastered the art of growling his lines out, reflective of the persona he has been developing since he dropped Taken on us, and the particular set of skills he unleashed on traffickers who threatened his daughter. Yes, he’s deviated from the norm with Silence and Ordinary Love, but Run All Night, A Walk Among Tombstones, The Marksman, The Commuter, Cold Pursuit, Honest Thief, etc. all find Neeson serving up an over-the-hill cop/assassin/soldier vibe while facing down a bad situation that only he seems aware of/capable of stopping. In Memory, Neeson’s Alex Lewis deals most accurately with his aging body, and in this case, his failing ability to remember.

One more wrinkle in the typical Neeson genre these days is that his character is usually not really good, but either longing to change or realizing that he has to atone for his sins. In this case, Lewis is an assassin for a criminal organization that may or may not be a cartel, who refuses to execute a child and finds himself up against the organization and the FBI. (Now, just for a moment’s amusement – let’s recognize that this guy kills people for business, but his moral compass causes him to protect a child and defend the dignity of a prostitute in a hotel simply because the drunk john she’s propositioning proves to be too loud. Apparently the church doesn’t have a monopoly on the hierarchy of sin; Liam Neeson vehicles have them, too!)

When Lewis refuses to murder a young girl who is in the protective custody of FBI Agent Vincent (Guy Pearce) but ends up involved in the investigation, Vincent and his partners (Harold Torres and Taj Atwal) begin tracking the bodies that Lewis and others are piling up. As Lewis investigates the connections behind those who hired him and the young woman, he realizes that there’s a bigger conspiracy at work that extends into law enforcement, covering up a trafficking ring that also involves issues with immigration.

It’s hard not to watch Memory and think of Pearce’s career-breaking film Memento, the film that also put Christopher Nolan on the map twenty years ago. Pearce’s Leonard Shelby knows next-to-nothing as the film opens, while Neeson’s Lewis begins to lose what he does know. They both write themselves clues on their arm – and both of them begin to question their methods and their own madness. But it allows them to explore their decisions from other angles, rather than living moment-by-moment without stopping to question “why.”

While Neeson is spinning out similar movies, this is his best since Tombstones, and certainly projects a greater awareness of social issues than his earlier films. It’s a secondary take on some of the issues raised in Marksman, but James Bond (and The Mask of Zorro) director Martin Campbell provides more depth in the development of the feelings around why Vincent and Lewis end up on the same page. It’s not fantastic, but definitely palatable – and even a little thought-provoking in a passing way.

I’m aware that Memory is a remake of the Belgian thriller, The Alzheimer Case, but the inflections are different with the American/Mexican border involved – and the growth of human trafficking. One can hope we would learn from our past and fight off the evil that threatens, but in the case of Memory, we’re reminded that the system is too often set up to justify sin and protect the rich.

It’s worth remembering the next time we consider making a selfish decision, or better yet, when we vote.

The Bad Guys: No One Is Beyond Redemption

April 22, 2022 by Jacob Sahms Leave a Comment

While I’ve never read any of Australian author Aaron Blabey’s books for kids, the animated trailer for Universal Pictures’ The Bad Guys was full of flashy characters and witty one-liners, drawing me into its flair. Watching the film provided an additional realization: there’s plenty of heart behind the Dreamworks animation of Mr. Wolf, Ms. Tarantula, Mr. Snake, Mr. Piranha, and Mr. Shark.

In what seems a clear nod to Reservoir Dogs, the characters that make up the gang of thieves are simply named by their animal nature. [As an aside, the deep-running undercurrent of the film ultimately asks if any of us can really overcome our animal nature, but I’ll get to that later.] Voiced by Sam Rockwell, Awkwafina, Marc Maron, Anthony Ramos, and Craig Robinson, the characters show a different degree of indifference toward doing good and a strong set of skills in terms of doing bad, a la other crime films like Ocean’s Eleven.

While the Bad Guys have been wreaking havoc and driving the police crazy for years, Wolf meets his match in the foxy persona of the new mayor, Diane Foxington (Zazie Beetz). She’s willing to give the Bad Guys a second chance under the watchful eye of philanthropist Rupert Marmalade (Richard Ayoade), a guinea pig who sells Foxington on the theory that the Bad Guys only need to practice doing good to become good. Hijinks ensue.

The direct-to-the-camera speaking, the clever blend of physical and verbal humor, and the incredibly articulated animations of the characters are all worth noting. I’ll admit that while I expected COVID-19 to send a wave of computer-animated films to market, not all of them have held my attention; The Bad Guys is the best animated story that I’ve seen in several years. But the the beautiful animation isn’t just eye-catching though: it advances the story’s heart – that no one is beyond redeemable.

Do you really believe a person can change? That’s at the heart of the film – and as people of faith, it’s something we say we believe in but too often fail to accept as true. Let’s face it: we’re judgy! We have a hierarchy of sin (either admittedly or subconsciously) and there are certain situations and certain people that we find unforgivable. That’s not what Jesus said – but it’s how we operate sometimes. That’s what makes The Bad Guys such a beautiful story, and what sets it apart from some of its contemporary films.

The Bad Guys is a laugh out-loud funny experience for the whole family, with fleshed out characters and a plot to match. Better yet, it might just challenge you to give yourself, or someone else, another chance.

A Day to Die Director Wes Miller Tells It Like It Is

March 27, 2022 by Jacob Sahms Leave a Comment

When I first met Wes Miller, it was 2016 and he was the writer/director of Prayer Never Fails, a little film about a basketball coach who gets in hot water for praying with one of his players. The film didn’t blow critics away, but I noticed that Miller moved known entities like Corbin Bernsen, Eric Roberts, and Lorenzo Lamas through a story that didn’t beat folks over the head with its faith (even if the title seems direct). We chatted about life, faith, and movies, and Miller’s transition from lawyer-to-director intrigued me. 

Over the next several years, Miller would send me his projects and ask for an honest evaluation of what I was seeing on screen. In River Runs Red, a story Miller wrote about an African American judge whose son is killed in a routine traffic stop and then pursues justice, he used the talents of Taye Diggs, John Cusack, and George Lopez; with Hell on the Border, he told the story of the first black U.S. Marshal Bass Reeves pursuing evildoers while wrestling with America’s racism in the Old West with the help of David Gyasi, Frank Grillo, and Ron Perlman. Each time, there was an entertaining story that appealed to the masses, but there was something deeper going on each time as well. 

Now, with A Day to Die, Miller spins a tale about a group of ex-Special Forces soldiers who come together after one of their own is threatened, built around the talents of Bruce Willis, Kevin Dillon, Brooke Butler, Vernon Davis (yes, the ex-tight end), Leon, and Grillo again. Straight B-level action film, right? No. There’s again something going on here about the infinite striations separating good from bad, and covering all the space in between. 

Miller still articulates his desire to tell stories that entertain without preaching to people, but admits that he’s trying to make people think. “People who seem good aren’t always; people who seem bad aren’t always,” he says. “Good things are done for bad reasons and bad things are done for good reasons. Sometimes, that’s what it takes to change the system.”

In A Day to Die, the audience is challenged to see how people on both sides of the legal system actually want the same things – safety, better for their children, a prosperous future, while also acknowledging that the system is biased. Rather, more than biased – aimed at lifting some up and holding others back. “Why is it possible that a subset of Christians is afraid to admit or address bias? How can you really effect change?” asks Miller. “I want folks to discover and find the ability to change. Maybe some people won’t get it because they don’t want to see it. But if they’re open to it, they can see and identify things in the film.”

One of the ways that Miller draws the audience in is through Butler’s kidnapped police wife. She’s not a throwaway character – Miller says being raised by a single mother makes him aware of the power of a woman’s story – so he made sure that she wasn’t helpless. “She’s the strength of the film, maintaining a steely calm even when she’s kidnapped. If her relationship with Pettis (Leon’s character) doesn’t work out , then the film doesn’t work.”

Working with known actors the way he has, Miller has learned from each of the actors who excelled at what they do, helping him to become a better director. He admits that he had to be ready, prepared for each shoot, because otherwise they would’ve steamrolled him! But their relationships grew throughout each movie, and they trusted him to tell the story. 

Now, looking back and looking forward, Miller sees the way he now digs into the script, building a tool box of creative tools that keeps expanding. He learns from each mistake, and continues to work on showing more than telling. Not everyone appreciates that – that Miller is growing and adapting, balancing his faith in filmmaking and the reality of the world around him. But he perseveres, and continues to grow, holding a mirror up to society (and the church) to challenge us to be better – to follow Jesus more closely. 

It’s why I first became a fan, and why I’ll keep waiting expectantly for what lawyer-turned-director Wes Miller does next.

Autistic Teen Shines Light Through Tyson’s Run

February 23, 2022 by Jacob Sahms Leave a Comment

Best known for playing Sam Anderson on The Walking Dead, Major Dodson has also appeared in Revolution and American Horror Story. This March, he’s starring in Kim Bass’ Tyson’s Run as an autistic teenager named Tyson, alongside Amy Smart, Rory Cochrane, and Layla Felder. As a homeschooled student trying to find his way at the high school where his father teaches, Dodson’s Tyson discovers passion and skill as he trains for a marathon under the watchful eye of Barkhad Abdi’s coach.

As a six year old in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, Dodson first found himself as a local theater actor in the midst of A Christmas Carol. He’s obsessed over sharks and Transformers, but at the time, he loved trains and says, “I could’ve told you anything about locomotives.” When Robert Zemeckis’ version of the Charles Dickens story ended up showing off memorabilia alongside an Amtrak showcase, his mother decided maybe Dodson would enjoy acting as they adapted to his newly-minted autism diagnosis. Discovering that the local theater would guarantee a spot as long as the person auditioning sang a song, Dodson said that he’d sing Abba’s “Thank You For the Music” but he’d only sing one word and refused to dance! Cast as Tiny Tim, Dodson’s acting career was born.

Playing an autistic teenager, Dodson says that a significant amount of what the audience sees is acting, but he admits that he can relate to Tyson. “I struggled with social queues and was never the cool kid,” he says. “I lingered my way through school, made a few friends, and just wasn’t really a socially conscious kid. Therapy helped, but I had terrible motor skills. Tyson goes through a lot of growth to get where he is, and I did, too.”

Dodson says that he didn’t experience the level of frustration and judgment that Tyson does, notably from his father. “I’ve had a lot of support,” he shares. “There’s no way I could do the hobbies I enjoy without help, recognizing I am who I am and have the ability to function as an adult.”

The young actor, now eighteen, talks freely and easily about his diagnosis and his experience, recognizing that it changes how he sees the world but acknowledging his adaptations. At six, the diagnosis of his attention span – the ability to have a conversation with an adult while maintaining eye contact – was ten seconds; he credits his family and friends for having helped him get to where he is in the moment, even interviewing with a stranger.

That’s not all that Dodson has adapted either. He’s a graduate of high school via homeschool online, and is pursuing a college degree in business, while also interning at a music production facility to learn how to use his music studio equipment more effectively and learning a business ethic. He’s a success story, and his success comes with a pleasant blend of humility and excitement about where he’s come from and where he’s going.

“I have been doing interviews for a little while, and I was being interviewed by a father of two neurodivergent daughters,” recounts Dodson. “One of them came in while we were talking, and he asked her what she thought of the movie. She said she saw something of herself in Tyson.”

“I had worried it wouldn’t be realistic, or relatable, that I would do something to cause offense. It was gratifying to hear that she felt that way.”

Dodson also learned the physicality of running while preparing for the film. He says exercise before might’ve included biking to a friend’s house, or getting out of bed. But in the months leading up to his marathon performance, he ran at the local high school and then at a local gym. He wanted to make sure his performance worked, that it didn’t let the film or its message about overcoming obstacles down.

For Major Dodson, learning to run with endurance was just one more obstacle to conquer.

Tyson’s Run debuts in theaters on March 11.

The King’s Man: Grief Makes the Man

February 18, 2022 by Jacob Sahms Leave a Comment

Director Matthew Vaughn and Ralph Fiennes have reunited a third time for The King’s Man, their prequel to 2014’s Kingsman: The Secret Service and 2017’s Kingsman: The Golden Circle. Based on characters created by Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons in their graphic novel, the prequel takes Orlando Oxford (Fiennes) back to his wife’s murder, and the events which led to the founding of the service and the transition of Oxford from reformed soldier-turned-pacifist to the fighting sensation audiences have seen in the prior installments.

After the over-the-top ridiculousness of the second film, The King’s Man comes across as reasonably, well, reasonable. Events that happened in the real world, like the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and the influence of Grigori Rasputin in Russia, impact the formation of Oxford’s worldview – and the relationship he has with his son, Conrad (Harris Dickinson). Oxford wants to live a life of pacifism, while also investigating the goings-on of the world secretively, even as Conrad’s sense of patriotism grows. Conrad wants to fight in the First World War, and his father continues to fight against his desires.

Oxford’s estate is spacious – one of the ways that Vaughn’s eye for filmmaking sets up the opulence of Oxford’s privilege – but it’s also tweaked by the watchful eyes of his two servants, Polly (Gemma Arterton) and Shoa (Djimon Hounsou). These two serve as bodyguards, teachers, and confidants of young Conrad, and factor into the action that takes place when Oxford is pushed into the fray with the fate of the world at stake.

A shady “Shepherd” lurks on the other side of the global conflict, pushing and pulling the buttons of worldwide leaders of the various world powers like Vladmir Lenin, Woodrow Wilson, and others. Rasputin (Rhys Ifans) certainly comes across as the most ridiculous of the Kingsman enemies echoing the previous films, but for the most part, the film plays out like a B-level action film sprinkled with the sad realization that grief and pain often push us toward a life we’d rather avoid. In fact – the loss of family is what causes Oxford to renounce pacifism and take up violence again, undercutting his previous decisions, and making it apparent that vengeance too often clouds our judgment.

Fiennes’ portrayal of Oxford stands as the most solid part of the film. He’s as efficient as a violent Liam Neeson-type soldier as he is playing the grieving father, the wise counsel, the pacifying politician. He’s the reason the audience stays engaged, even if the plot ultimately doesn’t break much new ground. It just feels like the producers decided to go prequel because The Golden Circle was so preposterously bad.

Waging a war between pacificism and violence, combat with actions versus conflict with words, the safety of home and the mystery of the outside, The King’s Man finally settles on violence as the answer to the problems. It’s mathematical reality based on Oxford’s piled-up losses, but it leaves the character alone, wounded, and vengeful. That’s what makes the film entertaining, but in the end, forgettable.

Lincoln Expert Weighs in on the Dilemma

February 17, 2022 by Jacob Sahms Leave a Comment

Author of Abe: Abraham Lincoln in His Times, David S. Reynolds’ award-winning book serves as the foundation for AppleTV+’s new four-part documentary Lincoln’s Dilemma. From Barrington, R.I., Reynolds’ latest project includes the voices of Jeffrey Wright, Bill Camp, and Leslie Odom Jr. as the narrator, Lincoln, and Frederick Douglass throughout. To hear why he is so passionate about Lincoln, and how the project came about, ScreenFish sat down with Reynolds.

Richard Plepler left HBO for Apple and had always wanted to do something fresh on Lincoln, and heard about Reynolds’ book. “I’m very happy for people to learn about Lincoln and his era, his times,” Reynolds shared. “I studied American Studies at Amherst College, and went to graduate school at Berkeley, and got more and more interested in Lincoln’s era. I wrote books on Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, and Herman Melville, and they all, especially Melville, liked to talk about Lincoln. I wrote a book proposal about the Founding Fathers, with one paragraph about Lincoln, and Scott Moyers at Penguin, the editor, saw this paragraph and said, ‘Why don’t you write a whole book about Lincoln?'”

The four-part series opens with the storming of the Capitol from 2021. Reynolds didn’t write much about the present day in his book, because he wanted to keep Lincoln placed in his time. But without directly discussing it, the book refers to modern times. “Lincoln called America a mobocracy, with all of its different groups. He was compelled to go to war to prevent the spread of slavery and show human justice, against the Confederate States of America, the biggest mob of all,” said Reynolds.

“All of this really speaks to the debates going on today and all of the division. I’m glad the film drives that home by showing certain images, so viewers are reminded that this is history and also what is going on right now.”

Lincoln’s Dilemma shows that black people and whites worked together to end slavery. Reynolds says this appears new to some audiences because until recently, history was “top down.” “In recent years, we’ve had a warmer embrace of marginalized people, like women, African Americans, Native Americans,” explained the author. “It shows Lincoln became great because of his openness to listen to and collaborate with African Americans. He had been very closed to African Americans in Illinois. Frederick Douglass became his kind of conscience, always in his ear, goading him toward emancipation. He also truly impressed by the 185,000 African American soldiers who fought for the North, without whom he thought they couldn’t win the war. He evolves and responds, and that’s part of his greatness – he was absorptive of the influences toward justice and goodness that were around him.”

“He also refused to demonize the South. He didn’t call the Confederacy the enemy. He said, ‘If we lived down south, maybe we’d feel the same way.’ Malice toward none, charity toward all, which was partially based on the Bible as a Bible reader and believer in God. He believed God was in control.”

Reynolds shared next how Lincoln nationalized Thanksgiving in 1863 in the middle of the war, urging people to go to their own churches and honor God with their thanks, even in the midst of the war. It’s the kind of decision that a man with a full sense of justice and “right,” but also understanding that the United States really needed to be united, and that ending slavery was one of the ways that the country had to move forward. Unifying, and encouraging, under God.

Lincoln’s Dilemma is available February 18 on AppleTV+.

Last Looks: A Surprising Jewel

January 31, 2022 by Jacob Sahms Leave a Comment

In the quirky, mysterious Last Looks, Charlie Dunnam plays Charlie Waldo, a former LAPD detective whose desire for the truth drove him out of the city and into the isolation of the woods. When his former flame, private investigator Lorena Nascimento (Morena Baccarin), shows up asking for help with a case involving the murdered wife of a famous actress, Waldo is dragged back into the world he left behind.

The film is laugh out-loud funny at times, thanks to the script by Howard Michael Gould based on his own novel, and several notable performances. Mel Gibson plays the actor Alastair Pinch, who stands condemned in the public eye for the death of his wife. He’s an incredibly unlikable human being, and that seems to give his loving/hating public something to hang around his neck like a noose.

Hunnam plays Waldo simply at times, and slowly builds to cleverly, as the time of isolation wears off and he begins to practice the prowess that made him a strong detective. He goes from scraggily bearded and living with a chicken, minding his own business, to navigating the nasty underbelly of Hollywood, intent on selling movie tickets and building empires around money and power.

Ironically, Hunnam’s Waldo gets dragged into the fray because the Hollywood pushers, namely Rupert Friend’s Wilson Sikorsky, tell everyone Waldo has agreed to investigate. He’s beaten by thugs, accused of being involved by ex-police compatriots like Clancy Brown’s Big Jim Cuppy, slandered and abused. So his investigation is more about making people leave him alone – until trouble befalls Nascimento. Then he’s in it for love.

Director Tim Kirby has formed a well-paced, entertaining, genuinely interesting movie with a few twists and turns cleverly revealed, some of which you won’t see coming. It’s a surprising jewel in a strange film year, and it makes for a solid outing with mystery, romance, and comedy together.

Last Looks is available on January 31st, 2022.

One Shot: Scott Adkins is an Island

January 25, 2022 by Jacob Sahms Leave a Comment

John Donne wrote that “no man is an island,” but no one told that to martial artist Scott Adkins, who miraculously dodges bullets and fights hand-to-hand with ease. His audience knows what Adkins is capable of based on his work in Ninja, The Expendables 2, and a host of action-heavy films. But, in One Shot, he’s in an action film dressed up as an art flick – James Nunn has directed his film to appear as one long, live-action take.

As Navy SEAL Jack Harris, he’s assigned to protect CIA analyst Zoe Anderson (Ashley Greene) to a “black site” where they’ll transport informant Amin Mansur (Waleed Elgadi) away. But the site manager, Ryan Philippe’s loud, rude Jack Yorke refuses to let them extract Mansur immediately, and soon terrorists swarm the CIA forces.

Of course, Adkins’ Harris is the only one with the brain, skills, and courage to save the day…

The film has little to say about black sites – although this is supposedly the last one left – or the ways that people of varying degrees of guilt are treated like war criminals. It’s solely setting up a spot where Nunn can film without interruption and Harris can kick, shoot, and punch without worrying about collateral damage.

As much as I’ve become a fan of Adkins’ periodic roles where he gets to fight and act, this film isn’t one of those, and Shooter (the television series) seems pretty far removed for Philippe, too. It’s pretty shaky in terms of plot and dialogue, but that matches the handheld cam feeling that the whole thing leans heavily into, a style that Paul Greengrass has done much better as well.

One Shot is available on VOD on January 25th, 2022.

Zeros and Ones: Ethan Hawke is Seeing Double

January 18, 2022 by Jacob Sahms Leave a Comment

In Zeros and Ones, a movie about a terrorist plot that the audience never quite catches up to, Ethan Hawke plays JJ, a soldier trying to stop said plot, and Justin, JJ’s twin brother who seems to be behind the plot. But in Abel Ferrara’s film, which he wrote and directed, the mood is more important than the details, and the journey is definitely supposed to be more important than the outcome.

Through a darkened, unsteady lens, the audience watches JJ explore Rome, visit a nearly deserted Vatican, and experience life in the midst of a pandemic (although COVID is not named). But the exploration of the terrorist plot isn’t linear. Somehow, JJ ends up with prostitutes who get … involved, and then he’s forced to have sex with a woman while held at gunpoint. (Do these things really happen? It seems like Ferrara is just aimed at ridiculous smuttiness.)

While I’ll openly admit that I’m not sure either where we went or where we ended up, it’s helpful to know that this is the first film where a star recorded a message to the audience before and after, admitting it’s confusing, praising the director, and genuinely seeming to ask the audience to like the film. I like Hawke’s films mostly, but not this one. Honestly, I’m still not sure what to think of it, other than to realize it was made with a blurring of reality in the middle of a pandemic.

Maybe it’s supposed to be funny, or insightful. Maybe that’s why JJ uses hand sanitizer but gets exposed to STDs. Maybe it’s not supposed to make any sense at all. But the end result seems more art house than entertaining, more private insider joke than an invitation to go along for a ride.

Either way, seeing two Hawkes on screen doesn’t mean it’s twice as good.

Zeros and Ones is now available on VOD.

Last Night in Soho: Not All That Glitters is Gold

January 9, 2022 by Jacob Sahms Leave a Comment

Ellie Turner (Thomasin McKenzie) longs to be a fashion sensation, leaving the rural (Redruth, Cornwall) for London, enrolling in the London College of Fashion. Failing to fit in, Turner flounders, but she finds a real-world friendship with John (Michael Ajao), and a weird time-traveling/psychological flashback to a Swinging Sixties singer, Sandie (Anya Taylor-Joy). But in Edgar Wright’s send-up to the Swinging Sixties, there’s a dirty, gritty, violent underbelly to the glistening sparkles that Ellie thinks she knows.

In her dreams/flashbacks, Turner falls for Jack (Matt Smith), a dark, mischievous spirit, who enthralls her, but also traps her. She meets a strange silver-haired man (Terrance Stamp) in the ’60s and rooms in Ms. Collins’ (Diana Rigg) boarding house in the present day. And her existence in both the past and the present blends… weirdly.

The story is bizarre, but Wright’s desire to make the ’60s colorful and alluring and dangerous shows up in distinct difference from the present. It’s about the visuals here as much as the plot, showing the dangers of romanticizing the past, and ignoring the dangers (as evidenced by Turner’s mother, and warned about by her grandmother early on). This is both a historical fiction, and a horror show, a disturbing exploration of the Soho night life, and a strange parable reminding us that not all that glitters is gold.

On the home media version, special features include “Meet Eloise,” about the character of Ellie and McKenzie’s bringing her to life; “Dreaming of Sandie,” a look at Sandie and Jack, and the actors who played them; “Smoke and Mirrors,” about lighting, special effects and other visuals; “On the Streets of Soho,” about the importance of shooting on location; and “Time Travelling,” at how the crew worked hard to make the film look like 1960s Soho.
