I thought this was absolutely amazing. You can see that Leonidas struggles with PTSD on a daily basis, but you can see the deep love and affection he has for his daughter and family. He is very quiet and says almost nothing, but somehow you know what he's thinking. The action scenes were also very good, with the occasional flashback. All in all, I think this movie is very underrated and deserves a much higher score.
Fmovies: This movie was absolutely one of the worst movies i have seen. This movie was bad in all areas starting from actors.
I think: very good acting from the bearded actor. I like Warner Bros, because I like Warner Bros Finland, I gather I must somehow like Warner Bros Italy also. and they usually produce quality, no matter if it's films or documents.
The Beast fmovies. Can understand why people say it's similar to taken but don't get turned off by that, just give it a watch and it does pull you in...
Do not fall for stupid reviews. This is an amazing movie. A short, crisp and meaningful plot. People expected this guy to fight like a superhuman. But the fact is that he had PTSD. He had panic attacks. Director took care if that fact really well. This was justified well during his fist fights. He was tired but did a father's job. A beautiful message conveyed in this movie.
"The Beast" as the title translates, doesn't really ring true.
Akin to films like "Taken" (which is also implausible) the primary issue with this film is one of realism. The key protagonist is apparently a highly skilled, special forces operative. Yet his situational awareness is poor, as is his judgement. Of course, we are told he has PTSD. Even so, that level of experience becomes instinctive, so this is a thin excuse.
He blunders into multiple hostile situations. His combat skills look more like those of a simplistic street fighter. They lack polish and precision. No one with that kind of background would go in unarmed, either. A hammer, a box cutter, kitchen knife, or even a crow bar, can make a huge difference.
Just as improbable, his adversaries leave him for dead at one point, rather than finishing him off. All this after he proves he is at the least a tangible, if disorganised, threat.
Acting by contrast, is excellent. The main character is believable but he's let down by a script that fails to seriously ask how a soldier with this degree of training and experience, would really perform in this kind of scenario.
The outcome is a film that's more or less watchable but for anyone with any real training, it offer's up far too many "yeah right' moments to be convincing.
5/10 from me.
