(ESP-ENG) Red Right Hand - Movie Review!
Hello friends, good vibes to all.
There are actors that one simply loses track of because overnight they stopped appearing and being so mainstream, those who were once relevant because they had several leading roles in major films in the industry. This time I'm talking about Orlando Bloom, an actor who is known for being in films like Pirates of the Caribbean, Lord of the Rings and more recently, Grand Touring. Hence my interest in wanting to see this movie, one that a priori does not seem to be a big deal but just by the fact of having this familiar face, it did the job.
This is the story of Cash (Orlando Bloom), a guy who lives away from it all on a farm with his family, namely his brother and niece. Cash is trying to reform, to get away from the trouble he was once in and try to get on the right path. His family, in this case his brother Finney, apparently because of the situation in which he finds himself, decided to make a pact with the devil and he took a loan putting as collateral the beloved family farm so sooner or later he will come to collect what he is owed and that is where the problems begin.
The "devil" in question is a drug lord who controls the whole place nicknamed Big Cat (Andie MacDowell) who is truly a person to be feared for the things seen in the film. So what happens? - To pay off that debt Cash decides to work for her, with this he would be returning to the person he was in the past and that he wanted so much to leave behind but to protect his family and his farm he will do whatever is necessary in his hands and power. As you can see the film is as simple as the typical stories where there is the oppression of a criminal until someone with enough need and guts comes along to put an end to all that "reign" of terror that is imposed.
As I said, we are facing a plot that is too well known and that we have seen hundreds of times in the movies but which is, at least for me, entertaining. It is the story of a criminal boss who has everyone in his pocket, with a personal army made up of the craziest and most idiotic men that can exist, money, weapons and above all with a cold and ruthless mentality; clearly everything is against him and there is no way to change things. The film tells us that yes, there is a way and they will stick to it. The point here is that one intuits what is going to happen, one imagines it, with a surprise or two, but in the end the plot is what it is.
This does not mean that it is boring and tiring to watch, personally I spent the whole time enjoying the film without problems. It has good action scenes, there is a high degree of significant violence that gives a different touch and a little more colorful to the story, we see a lot of blood, some torture, beatings, shootings, everything necessary for the plot is not something more of the pile. I do not come to say that it is a blockbuster but I think it is the classic Sunday movie to see when we want to disconnect from everything, it is that film that you put on a Sunday at five o'clock in the afternoon.
As is almost always the case in these films, there is the theme of family and all that would be done for it. Here the rooting for this theme is important because the raison d'être of everything that happens is purely family, both on the side of the good guys and the bad guys. Evidently there is the vengeful theme which also adds a lot of gasoline to the fire, it is impressive how a person can act under the influence of revenge, it is as if someone changed his personality 100% to become a blind being with only one goal: to eliminate anyone who gets in his way.
As for the performances and characters, Orlando Bloom was very average, nothing remarkable, partly because the role does not demand much but still is the typical character who wants to do everything with his hands because he has an urgent need to protect his own. Big Cat, Andie MacDowell, for me lacked more power. She is a character full of evil and rawness, you can see that, but when it comes to show it, she is not very appreciated, I lacked conviction. Anyway, a basic but entertaining film, one of those that works because it was made for that, that's all. 6/10. A weekend, nothing to see, look for it and enjoy it. It lasts a little less than two hours. I leave the trailer here.
¡Un abrazo a todos, nos vemos en la próxima!
Well my people that's all for today, I hope you liked it.
¡A hug to everyone, see you next time!

Oye es cierto como dice yo tenía tiempo que no sabía de este actor lo único que sé es que el esposo de Katy Perry pero que no había hecho una película reciente.
Lo más reciente había sido Gran Turismo pero si, este año salió esta y bueno, por no dejar se vió.
