The film “Carrier: Heritage” (actors - Ed Skrein, Ray Stevenson, Loan Shabanol, Gabriella Wright, Tatyana Paykovich and others) is a new project of Luc Besson, the result of chaotic replacements in the cast and inside the group of creators of the picture.
Instead of the brutal Statham photogenic Skrane
More than ten years ago, eminent producer (director, director, screenwriter) Luke Besson and director Louis Leterrier revealed to the world Jason Statham, making him the protagonist of the carrier series of crime fighters. Participation in the trilogy made the actor super popular and very highly paid. Over time, Statham's fees became fabulous, so the creators decided to replace him with Ed Skrein. Now he is the protagonist in Besson’s new brainchild, Carrier: Legacy. Reviews of the film immediately noted the replacement of the protagonist, and in a negative way. Skrein is more a model than an actor, he poses beautifully, builds his eyes and plays with muscles, but categorically it does not work out to perceive him as a soldier capable of neutralizing dozens of people in a fight. The choice of the actress for the role of the main character is depressing, Loan Shabanol is not impressive as an actress, while she is not very pretty in appearance.
Trilogy restart
At this blunder, the novelties did not end there. And the reviews about the film "Carrier: Heritage" did not forget to mention another obscure castling, this time among the creators. The director of the picture was a little-known director Camille Delamarr, so that only Besson remained from the formula for the success of the trilogy. Nevertheless, “Legacy” surpasses the previous, third part of the cycle, although Ed Skrein was a weak substitute for Jason Staham, despite the fact that he left the “Game of Thrones” for the big screen. But in comparison with the original criminal action movie of 2002, which made a lasting impression on the audience and gained the status of a cult, the restart of the carrier: Heritage trilogy (confirmation of the film reviews) frankly loses.
Besson's Formula for Success
The first Carrier instantly became successful for many reasons (and Jason Statham's charisma among them). A huge role was played by the participation of the legendary action choreographer from Hong Kong Corey Yuen, who taught how to shoot hand-to-hand scenes. And the simple and battered story from Luc Besson about the silent tough guy became phenomenally popular. After the triumph, the producer decided to develop the obtained formula of success on his own, which he obtained with varying success - the sequel turned out to be cartoony, and the third picture was similar to cutting the most successful moments of the first two. Therefore, the main inspirer decided to restart the cycle with a very modest budget - the film "Carrier: Heritage". The actors coped with the task set by the director, although there is not a single star name among the cast.
Fourth movie
Reviews and reviews of the film "Carrier: Heritage" are a few positive aspects of the picture. The intrigue - Frank Martin and the four fighting beauties-friends - is of interest and tenderness - this plot technique evokes a comparison with the recent “Mad Max”, which flatters the film. An introduction to the narration of the father of the protagonist by Ray Stevenson is an association with Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Moreover, assuring everyone around that he is an ordinary sales representative, Martin Sr. demonstrates excellent combat training and remarkable ingenuity. And reviews of the film "Carrier: Heritage" did not miss this curious fact.
Plot
Former professional military man Frank Martin (Ed Skrein) earns a comfortable living by performing risky transportations. The hero in certain sections of society is famous for compliance with agreements, punctuality and laconicism. But agreeing to a new order, Frank gets in touch with a customer who gets into trouble not only him but also his father, forcing him to confront a whole gang of cool Russian bandits. So you can, without revealing the main intrigue, briefly describe the plot moves of the picture "Carrier: Heritage".
About the film
Reviews, reviews, the main problem of "Heritage" is called the fact that this is a story about anyone, but not about the Carrier. Frank Martin is constantly relegated to the background by all heroes, and our compatriot Yuri Kolokolnikov, who played the role of one of the villains, including. The leading actor is sorely lacking in brutality, he looks like a fashion model, and not like a former commando trained to kill with one glance. Although in some action episodes, this impression is somewhat resolved. Still, Besson is able to shoot and set up dizzying car chases and brisk hand-to-hand combat. Assessing the “Carrier: Heritage”, reviews of the film mark the scene of the battle, which takes place in a very narrow corridor, where the hero actively uses all the surrounding objects (cabinets with sliding shelves).
Great achievement
It is encouraging that during the creation of the film, there was no need for cunning and sophisticated editing conditions, and therefore the camera did not shake very much. The picture causes a sufficient number of pleasant associations, it has a lot of frisky action. Therefore, "Carrier: Heritage" reviews of the film are called, in general, a good movie, noting that, finally, the cycle has ceased to slide into tartarara.
