This movie is hilariously funny and well made. It's got a bunch of wacky characters from all walks of life ranging from secret agents to hippies, all coming together to create a kind of mad cocktail comedy.
I'm a big Ron Perlman fan and he does not disappoint in this one - in fact I don't think they could of cast anyone better for this role, all the other members of the cast were really good too including Jonny (Rupert Grind), Paul (Kevin Bishop), Leon (Robert Sheehan) and a special mention to the gorgeous Erika Sainte as Ella.
Highly recommend you give this movie a watch if you have a good sense of humour. 9/10 for me.
Fmovies: While 8 would imo be too much, 6 is definitely less than what this movie is worth. Come on people what's wrong with you? When I see some ratings here lately I wonder how can those film get a 8 and this a 6.
The acting here is fabulous, the humour is in a right balance of dementia and intelligence. There are nice gags, a nice kind of surrealism, it even touches some political themes, and it offers more or less all what you may want, fun, action, drama, sexiness. So, don't hesitate.
Anyway I think that IMDb should urgently revisit its politic of "not enough lines" for reviews. People do not necessarily have to write the holy bible to review each single film each single time. (hopefully now I have enough lines).
The poster, the cast and the plot made it seem like it could be an amazing movie, albeit it's far from amazing it's still entertaining.
I expected a more realistic approach on tackling one of the greatest conspiracy theories of our time, the one that is about the moonlanding in 1969 being staged (in order to beat the Russians to the task so they would still be seen as the most powerful country in the world).
A theory that I actually believe could be a true one but I won't dig too deep into that because if that actually did happen how it happen would most likely differ substantially from the plot of this movie as this one is solely about the comedy... and the action, which there was plentyful of, to the point that it might get too bloody for some sensitive viewers.
A lot of sex, drugs and rock n roll as well.
The acting is fine, Rupert Grint does really well in comedies as he's proved before with the slightly better 'WILD TARGET (2010)' which also got him entangled with gangsters.
Robert Sheehan I didn't even recognize as the bearded hippie-friend of Grint, despite 'THE ROAD WITHIN' with Sheehan being one of my favorite movies of 2015, so yeah he was good too.
Ron Pearlman does his thing as always.
Gets a little too druggy at times perhaps and the pre-credit montage was a little too much but overall yeah solid enough entertainment for sure.
Also the movie clocks in at 97 minutes not 107 minutes like IMDb lists it at.
Moonwalkers fmovies. It's a Guy Ritchie vs Tarantino style movie with Ron Perlman doing a great job as a sloppy arrogant agent that manages to mess up a mission to fake the moon landing teaming with two idiots that fooled him. A fun movie with a funny plot done in a very convincing manner.
This only proves how a good script, good shots and good direction together with good actors that are not necessarily celebrities - can end up with a great result that does not fall short of the big pictures. Food for thought for big studios IMHO and Perlman here shows sides which I've never before seen him do.
Definitely worth watching. Amusing, not hilarious but fun to watch.
No spoilers, but if you are an fanatic Kubrick fan you will be well entertained.
I saw the film tonight on ON DEMAND on cable (just released there.) i've been waiting to see it, but it was much better then I expected!
Loved every moment of it. A wonderful tribute to Kubrick and all the Kubrick memes. There are other 60's related things going on. Great concept, great writing...made for esoteric laughs.
Besides constant Kubrick references, there are Antonioni and Hal Ashby nods. Hitchcock too.
The cast was terrific. Production values very good.
"If we've got a guy that can make things look like they're on the moon then doesn't it make sense to film a pretend moon landing, just in case the real one doesn't work?" Apollo 11 is about to launch and NASA is worried. If the American's don't make it to the moon the set back could ruin the entire space program and the Russian's will have the upper hand. In order to hedge their bets they ask CIA agent Kidman (Perlman) to travel to England and ask if director Stanley Kubrick if he will film a movie of men landing just in case. When Kidman meets Jonny (Grint) things get a little off track. This movie is hilarious, it makes you wonder and is very psychedelic. I really loved it and laughed a lot they entire time. On the other hand this is not a movie that everyone will enjoy. There is a little Oliver Stone (a la Natural Born Killers) vibe to this and I really enjoyed that aspect. This is a very funny but different type of comedy that many people will love, but just as many either won't like or won't understand. Overall, a movie that I enjoyed and fans of psychedelic comedies will as well. I give this a B+.
