Without being the most charismatic actor on the world stage, good old Colin Farrell brings a proven solvency in all kinds of roles for varied characterizations. The roles of him as his protagonist are not that many, but in the bottom of every good director's wardrobe he should always appear as a resource to consider.
This is demonstrated by an uninterrupted filmography since he appeared back in the 90s. Consistency in his appearances in big films if not blockbusters, solvency and capacity for surprise from his chameleonic capacity. As soon as she aimed to be a youthful heartthrob in her takeoff, she gathered new resources with which to transform herself into a tough guy with a touch of seducer. She is in addition to a variety of adaptations as a bad guy in dark plots or even a more street type for more realistic films. The typical interpretive factotum close to that Morgan Freeman helped and triumphant as second in command among the best casts of considerable productions.
Waiting for greater protagonisms that it seems he may be gaining lately, to revisit Colin Farrell's filmography is to evoke between surprised and fascinated that ability of a conjurer to transform himself with each new movie.
Top 3 Recommended Colin Farrell Movies
Last call
AVAILABLE ON ANY OF THESE PLATFORMS:Stu is a city guy content with his knack for all sorts of advertising businesses, the official and the lesser-known ones. A survivor who moves through the streets of New York with that vainglory of the successful businessman who is glued to his cell phone saving the lives of half the city.
His lifestyle points to that kind of debauchery where pending bills and family disorders can always be suspected. But he is happy in his own way with that horizon of growth, without major qualms or remorse. Until that damn phone rang inside the cabin.
Curiously, there is little analogy with the short film “La Cabina” made in Spain. Because here we embroider it with a more surreal touch, between comedy and the most acid fringes of social criticism. We already know that in the USA the idea is always going to break in a more effective way, and there is nothing better than a thriller to develop the plot. In the end you don't know if the film has fallen short or if it has been too long. But Colin Farrell's performance makes the tension overcome any other buts. A performance that perhaps stands out very markedly due to the flatness of the plot... Be that as it may, for me his best film because it was required to be transmitted with a multitude of close-ups. Farrell made Stu completely his own and fully convincing.
In the middle of the street and in broad daylight, the young Stu Shepard (Colin Farrell), an ambitious publicist from New York, suddenly finds himself trapped in a telephone booth due to the threats of a sniper armed with a rifle with a telescopic sight. is pointing at you: if you hang up the set, you will die.
Minority Report
AVAILABLE ON ANY OF THESE PLATFORMS:It is worth that the matter here is an exhibition of the by Tom Cruise more intense in form and background. Because his fast-paced pursuit leaves us breathless constantly. But there is something in the role of Farrell that freaks me out. He is Danny Witwer, the Justice Department investigator tasked with overseeing PreCrime police activity. Because even in the future we can find institutions to safeguard ethics.
Witwer is a skeptical guy with the whole thing about the three precognitives in charge of predicting crimes before they occur. The less premeditation, the less time for the PreCrime police to intervene. Because the bad ideas that occur have no prior plan that the minds of the precogs can trace.
The point is that Witwer takes the reins of the viewer's own dilemmas in the face of such future developments and guides us in his pursuit of a diversity of ethical focuses and of the action itself that manage to place us as Cruise's antagonists at times. Although he may only be a means for the worst of evils that are found in the supposed justice that protects him.
thirteen lives
AVAILABLE ON ANY OF THESE PLATFORMS:Platforms such as Netflix or Amazon Prime are always at odds with their cinematographic bets on duty. This time it was Amazon Prime who took the cat to the water with a story based on real events that shrunk our hearts all. Before seeing the movie I no longer remembered the sum of days that those little heroes collected underground.
And I also didn't remember the enormous amount of media that came from half the world to finally be able to get those kids out. Farrell is in charge of carrying on his back the anguish (more easily imported after his movie The Last Call) of someone trying to save the lives of some poor children locked in the cave after the torrential rains and floods that caused the real incident there. for Thailand.
The risk of this type of movie with its real events behind it is that we already know the end. Thus, it becomes imperative that someone like Colin Farrell be able to tie the whole story together. The fast-paced adventure for survival makes us enter wet tunnels that threaten to collapse. With Farrell the approximation to real events becomes incontestable.
