Director Michael Daus in 2011 decided to "grab luck by the tail!" and shot a sports comedy tape with a delicious rating of “R”, full of distinctive American humor, appropriate obscene language and provocative moments, under the eloquent name “Bouncer”. The actors for participation in the production of the picture were selected accordingly: the starring actor was the star of the American Pie epic, Seann William Scott, the inimitable Eugene Levy was invited to enhance the effect, Jay Baruchel was selected as the friend of the protagonist, and he was taught to realize the actress least suitable for classic canons of the genre, Alison Pill.
The film has an IMDb rating of 6.80, and all foreign film critics position it as a movie about gross and uncompromising hockey outrage.
Violence and Romance
The comedy "Bouncer", the actors and roles of which are harmoniously matched by types to each other, is a snappy mix of exciting fights, hilarious humor, a funny romantic line and all kinds of genre clichés in the style of sports drama.
By the way, the romantic line in Daus's cinema is extraordinary, unusually non-classical, and therefore incredibly sweet. The relationship of the heroes Alison Pill and Seann William Scott looks so realistic and sincere that it is very pleasant to watch the development of the love line. The romantic component of the picture is a certain contrast between love and violence, which allows the tape to look at ease and bright, perfectly cope with its main entertainment function.
Head bouncer
The film “Bouncer” was perceived by the actors involved in the filming process as an opportunity to change the bored role. The clearest example of this is the lead male actor Seann William Scott, who gladly changed the role of a reckless eccentric to a rather modest image of Doug. The character at certain moments resembles down, on the one hand hiding behind his mother's skirt, on the other - always ready to fight.
Doug, trying to live by the law and achieve personal success, is afraid to break away from the family, to make meaningful and independent actions of an adult. Scott, using the full acting potential, skillfully conveys the image and characterization of his hero to the viewer. His game is not phenomenal, more experienced actors of the movie “Bouncer” sometimes overshadowed the leading actor.
But looking at the character of Seanne is not only ridiculous, he is quite and quickly disposed towards the beholder, despite the dubious moral impact of the tape. Liv Schreiber and Jay Barushel helped reveal the leading role in the new role, and they themselves made a lasting impression on the viewer. Without Scott, the Bouncer movie would have been perceived in a completely different way. The actors were amazed at his inexhaustible optimism and hard work.
Casting cast
According to film critics, the greatest strength of the Michael Daus project is not a somewhat flat story and humorous humor, but a strong cast, which pleases with its approach to work for all 92 minutes of timing. Actors pulled the picture "Bouncer" to a decent level. And this is due not only to the charismatic Seann Scott.
Liv Schreiber, the same Victor - the brother of Wolverine, known to the viewer on the tapes “Kate and Leo”, “Omen” and “Movie 43”, looks like such an “Irish bull”, evoking male solidarity, to which you immediately feel respect. The filmography of actress Alison Pill has about 60 projects, among which the most famous are Midnight in Paris, Focus, and Roman Adventures, so it was not difficult for her to transform into the image of one of those open and lively girls who cause sincere sympathy .
