The Fennoscandian recently hired a journalist responsible for culture. Read his latest review on the film "2500 Days" which recently was release😛

Sure, the director had its better moments with 'Determination' and 'Air Strike' and those were films which are forever to be remembered as works which influenced today's movie-going.

'2500 Days' is much too predictable than to be an 'extreme mission' as we have been promised. It neither has the thrilling moments of 'Thirteen Days' nor the depth and intelligence of 'Inside Man' which lets you want to watch the film again to actually get it. Once the long 120 minutes of screenplay are over and you realized the cliff hanger will force a sequel to be made you intentionally look into your appointments and hope that you might have one the day the sequel will come out. '2500 Days' is not a bad movie after all - it just lacks what is promised - strategical maneuvers are missing - everything seems as predictable as a match of chess. The actors do an awesome job. The screenplay is amazing, especially the scenes shot on New Zealand and Iceland. It is just the plot, the script which gets you to dislike the film.

The plot is explained rather fast: Pluto has some unfinished business to settle with some of his former business partners in both the USSR and the United States. So efficiently letting them engage each other he tries to gain vengeance over all of them. While the secret services are calling out for a manhunt to save both nations you already expect them to team up and this is what finally happens after a plot so straight it might have been designed by American Highway Engineers.

When Pluto is finally shot after a manhunt lasting 2500 days and you thought the film just started it is the end credits which suddenly let you wake up and leave the press presentation of the latest movie. Discussing with a few colleagues after the presentation we all come to the same agreement - the day '3000 Days' hits the screen we have an appointment - and it is not in a cinema.
