With his wife's survival on the line, Will can't say no.īut when their getaway goes spectacularly wrong, the desperate brothers hijack an ambulance with a wounded cop clinging to life and ace EMT Cam Thompson (Eiza González, Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw, Baby Driver) onboard. A charismatic career criminal, Danny instead offers him a score: the biggest bank heist in Los Angeles history: $32 million.
In this breakneck thriller from director-producer Michael Bay, decorated veteran Will Sharp (Emmy winner Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Candyman, The Matrix Resurrections), desperate for money to cover his wife's medical bills, asks for help from the one person he knows he shouldn't-his adoptive brother Danny (Oscar® nominee Jake Gyllenhaal, Zodiac, Spider-Man: Far From Home). The screen lights up with color when Buddy’s family sits down to watch the dinosaurs and Raquel Welch in “One Million Years B.C.” and the flying car of “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang” or attend a stage performance of “A Christmas Carol."Over one day across the streets of L.A., three lives will change forever. Except for a shot of Buddy reading a comic book about Thor- Branagh directed Marvel’s 2011 film version-there is no reference to the A-lister he’d become from 1989’s “Henry V” to his upcoming reprise as Belgian detective Hercule Poirot in “Death On the Nile.”Īnd yet the influence of the arts is palpable. “Belfast” belongs to Branagh, 60, who doesn’t act in the film but whose presence is felt in every frame. There are eight classic songs from Belfast firebrand Van Morrison, plus a newbie (“Down to Joy”) and exhilarating scenes of parents and grandparents dancing.ĭownload the all new "Popcorn With Peter Travers" podcasts on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Tunein, Google Play Music and Stitcher. There’s no way to watch “Belfast” without letting Buddy’s family become your own. If you think Balfe and Dornan, both former models, are incongruously beautiful to play working-class parents, you underestimate how Buddy sees them.Īnd “Belfast,” shot in black-and-white during lockdown, sees the world through Buddy’s eyes.
She finds revelatory layers in this mother who is held at gunpoint but still holds her family together even as war and trauma pull them apart. And Dornan, free of the s&m sex trap of the “50 Shades of Grey” trilogy, builds on his virtuoso turn on “The Fall” to show an actor of ferocity and feeling as he invests Pa, often absent from home for construction work in England, with simmering emotion and quiet strength.īalfe, the radiant star of “Outlander,” is-in a word-magnificent. Hinds, a master performer too long underrated, is hilarious and heartbreaking. Jamie Dornan, Ciaran Hinds, Jude Hill and Judi Dench are shown in a scene from the movie "Belfast."
