Dead Man Down isn't deeply satisfying but is well filmed and performed - and proof you can make a workable New York thriller with a bunch of Europeans.

Suppose Armand Assante had played the mother, not as a father, as a mother. Suppose Isabelle Huppert had taken the Colin Farrell part. This may be no more than playful, but heaven knows Dead Man Down needs as much of that as it can get.

[Rapace] will be enough to send some to this urban thriller but the film will send them away disappointed.

It soon collapses into violent and boring nonsense.

Oplev, who made The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, can do this stuff in his sleep and somnambulism is largely the style here.

This is too dull to function as a thriller and too silly to qualify as anything else.

Jun 29, 2015Recovering from a serious car accident that has left her scarred, Beatrice(Noomi Rapace) spends nearly all of her time in the apartment she shares with her mother(Isabelle Huppert). Gradually, Beatrice is starting to come out of her shell, starting with her sending a note to Victor(Colin Farrell) who lives across the way from her, asking to meet him. It is there that she reveals her motives are much less romantic than about revenge, which she feels Victor can help her with. "Dead Man Down" is a finely tuned neo-neo-noir that is helped greatly by the excellent chemistry between Noomi Rapace and Colin Farrell playing characters brought together not so much by vengeance as by loneliness. Along these same lines, mood is very important here, as the movie has a dimmed color scheme, which gives New York City the feeling of always being draped in shadows. But sometimes the movie can go a little too far in that hazy direction, as I'm still not exactly sure who F. Murray Abraham is supposed to be playing here.(To be fair, I feel the same about him in "Homeland.") That's not to mention an ending that it probably doesn't deserve, following a cliched climax.Walter M Super Reviewer

Jan 24, 2014This is a chick flick disguised as a thriller/action movie, absolutely boring and had no point. Plus, I would say that the biggest "twist" in the movie is given away in the first half hour of the movie. Honestly don't watch it, and if you do, don't say you weren't warned.Chris H Super Reviewer

Nov 25, 2013Solid action/crime film. Of course, it has its issues, but overall I feel like Dead Man Down has a good story, great cast, and an awesome climax. Check this out.Stephen S Super Reviewer
