The Legend of Hercules: A Larger Than Life Take on the Original Superhero

The Legend of Hercules, formerly known as Hercules: The Legend Begins and Hercules 3D is an upcoming action movie, set to release on 10^th January 2014. Directed by Renny Harlin and co-written by Daniel Giat, Giulio Steve and Sean Hood, this film star Kellan Lutz, Gaia Weiss, Scott Adkins, Liam Garrigan and Roxanne McKee. It is delightful for any full time writer to write a review on this film.

The film stars Kellan Lutz as the mythical hero Hercules and depicts the story of this brave Grecian warrior. This is a story of love, lust and bravery where a beautiful Grecian queen succumbs to the advances of Zeus, god of sky and thunder, to bear his demigod son Hercules. He is half-man and half god, blessed with super human strength, whose fate is to overthrow a repressive and tyrant ruler who is also his step-father. He has taken birth to bring peace to a land which suffers only hardship. But unfortunately, Prince Hercules knows nothing of his real identity or his pre determined destiny which is to depose of his step father – the king. In his growing up years, Hercules is shown as an ordinary boy with footloose ways and desperately seeking the love of a fair maiden named Hebe. Hebe is the Princess of Crete and engaged to be married to Hercules’s own brother. In spite of knowing that his brother is set to marry her, he pursues her. This angers the king who was looking for an excuse to banish him from his kingdom. Hercules is betrayed by his stepfather who exiles him and sells him to slavery to punish him for his forbidden love. It is when he is in exile that Hercules learns the truth about himself-about his powers and about his purpose and the lover boy changes into a warrior man. It is a time to choose whether to flee with Hebe or stay and use his immense powers to fulfill his mission of fighting his way back to his rightful kingdom by overthrowing the king and become the true hero of his time.

The Legend of Hercules is the latest offering from the makers of Olympus Has Fallen. This film is a visual treat for the viewers. It has stunning locale and breathtaking gladiator scenes where death matches have been played. The film’s trailer was released on October 13, 2013. The film has the potential to make its viewers positively content with it and transfer them into an ancient Greece where Hercules embarked on a legendary odyssey to reclaim his right. Could have been better but can be watched due to lack of other good films at the BO this weekend.

American Hustle: A Brilliant Film of Love and Law

American Hustle is a crime comedy-drama film, loosely based on the FBI ABSCAM operation in the 70s and 80s. . Released on December 13 2013, it is directed by David O Russell with screenplay by Eric Warren Singer and Russell. The film stars Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Bradley Copper, Jennifer Lawrence and Jeremy Renner. It is delightful for any full time writer to write a review on this film.

Irving and Prosser have been arrested in a loan scam, but Richie DiMaso a crazy FBI agent proposes to free them if Irving assists him with four additional arrests. It is a fictional film where Irving Rosenfield (Christian Bale) and Sydney Prosser (Amy Adams) is forced by DiMaso (Bradley Copper) to throw themselves into a world of jersey mafia. It is an enchanting but dangerous world. DiMaso wants to set up a sting operation to ensnare corrupt politicians, including the Mayor of New Jersey Carmine Polito (Jeremy Renner). Both Rosenfeild and Prosser pose as advisors to a fake Sheikh in order to bribe him. Polito is charming and charismatic and is trying to restart gambling in Atlanta City but struggles to raise money. It is also a love story of Irving and Prosser who met at a party, got attracted to each other and fell in love. The only unsavory detail in this love story? That Irving is married to Rosalyn (Jennifer Lawrence).

DiMaso’s over eagerness to catch Polito makes the latter suspicious and he leaves. But Irving convinces him about the legitimacy of the Sheikh and arranges for a meeting between them. With Polito convinced that the Sheikh is genuine, the former arranges a meeting between Sheikh and a violent mafia overlord Victor Tellegio who demands a $10 million to prove the Sheikh’s identity. On the other side Richie gets attracted to Sydney who tries to back out of the deal. With Carmine’s help Richie succeeds in entrapping a number of Congress members into receiving bribes. But in the end, Richie’s whimsicality convinces Irving to join hands with Polito and tell him the truth. Carmine abuses and assaults Irving and tells the latter that he had only tried to improve New Jersey. In the end a disgraced Richie is removed from the case. Irving and Sydney move in together to start a legitimate art gallery.

In the film, David O Russell has shown a fondness for living on the edge. There is unreliable narration and urgent zooms, extravagantly dressed scammers and mobsters. He has succeeded in bringing out the best from every character with their own quirks and foibles. Unfortunately, the end result is a tad messy and a little long, but you will be positively content with the film and enjoy hanging out with all of the well etched characters.

The Wolf of Wall Street: An Unrealistic Journey of a Real Man

The Wolf of Wall Street released on December 25 2013. It is a black comedy based on Jordan Belfort’s memoir of the same name. The film is directed and produced by Martin Scorsese, with screenplay by Terence Winter and stars Leonardo Dicaprio (who is also a co-producer), Jonah Hill and Matthew McConaughey. It is delightful for any full time writer to write a review on this film.

The film is a true story of Jordan Belfort, played by Leonardo DiCaprio. He was a Long Island penny stockbroker who had to serve 36 months in prison because he cheated investors in a 1990s securities fraud. This fraudulent activity exposed corruption in Wall Street and banking sector. This is a retelling of a tale where a simple man is swept away by his ambition. He loses his away and gets entangled in an unholy world of money, substance abuse, a troubled family and lies to carve his own world where no body is allowed entry. This is a story of white collar crime where important and known heads would roll if deep secrets are divulged. Belfort and his employees led a life filled with lavish parties and where drugs and sex was a part of their personal as well as professional life. Convicted in 1998, Belfort later became a speaker on sales techniques.

Throughout the film Scorsese does not glorifies him, rather brings his excesses to the fore. He shown Belfort’s flamboyance in the initial days but shows no pity during his lowest lows. Though it is questionable as to how close to truth the facts are, but sometimes it is impossible to digest the extreme turn of events. The film is a telling criticism of the American dream where people spend their lives in pursuit of money and success – whether by hook or crook. The film’s photography and editing is top notch with Leonardo DiCaprio excelling as the titular character. All the supporting characters succeed in convincingly portraying their characters. There is some resemblance with The Goodfellas or Casino, but here the villain is not a gun toting mafia leader. Rather they are apparently respectable people who wear suits, work in proper offices and spend their time in conducting business. But paradoxically, their reputable profession foils their criminal activities. 

Martin Scorsese’s brilliance turns this serious black comedy into an uproarious karmic comedy. Though teeming with narcotics, nudity and slangs, this film does not repulse the audience. On contrary this is one of the best films of 2013. It is defiant, indecent, rebellious and rude and will positively content the viewers.
