One False Move 4K 1992

It's a little-known movie in the West, and even less so in our country. I watched it after buying reviews by American critics who called it an 'undeservedly forgotten masterpiece' and so on. And after watching it, I realized why they write like that: the usual political correctness towards a black director and the issues he is interested in. In fact, it's a simple, modest movie. Modest scope, modest budget, and modest camerawork. The actors play adequately - about the way actors play in Hollywood movies slightly above average. That is, professionally, but not straining. The looks of the positive characters - with a calm 'I know I'm photogenic' squint. The views of the negative ones are sinister or psychotic. There are a couple of violent scenes that are meant to make this movie more memorable. The movie is structured the way it is usually done in Hollywood: so that it is clear from any point of view who is bad, who is good and what the story is about.

On the other hand, the movie differs from Hollywood bullshit in that it pays more attention to showing characters, relationships of heroes, etc. But there's nothing new in this showing. Here is a gangster-lumpen, here is a gangster-intellectual, here is a girl who got involved with them and is quietly worried. So what? It all sinks into the soul no more than a Hollywood blockbuster (for all its supposedly polar opposite). It was necessary to reveal everything more vividly. And so we see that the relationships of the characters are shown in more 'detail' only because otherwise the movie would be completely empty - the plot as such there is no more than half an hour. I agree with the other review - you can watch it, but if you don't, it's okay.
