Hello friends, welcome to my blog, this past weekend, I saw, this new movie starring Mel Gibson, directed by Romuald Boulanger, is an interesting thriller about a controversial man who has a nightly radio talk show, famous in his city. His behavior within the program makes his boss warn him that he will get into trouble, but he, used to do as he pleases, does not take these warnings seriously. Here begins a series of events that will make Elvis (Mel) realize that his life and the lives of all those around him are in danger.

Hola amigos, bienvenidos a mi blog, este fin de semana que paso, vi, esta nueva película protagonizada por Mel Gibson, dirigida por Romuald Boulanger, es un thriller interesante sobre un hombre polémico que tiene un programa nocturno de entrevista en la radio, famoso en su ciudad. Su comportamiento dentro del programa hace que su jefe le advierta que le traerá problemas, pero él, habituado hacer lo que le plazca, no toma estas advertencias en serio. Acá comienzan una serie de hechos que harán que Elvis (Mel), se dé cuenta de que su vida y la de todos los que los rodean están en peligro.

I loved this film, seeing a Mel Gibson, vulnerable without those quasi-superhero qualities, who knows how to fight and handle weapons. Here we see him as an ordinary middle-aged man facing a risky situation with no power other than trying to convince his enemy. The film is a bit slow at first, but as time goes by it grows in excitement and suspense. Not knowing what you are facing and having to rely on your instincts to survive is one of the things that make this film interesting, you can feel the fear in some scenes and guessing the possible culprits is what keeps you on your toes.

Me encantó de esta cinta, ver a un Mel Gibson, vulnerable sin esas cualidades de casi superhéroe, que sabe pelear y manejar armas. Acá lo vemos como un hombre común de mediana edad que se enfrenta a una situación riesgosa sin más poder que el de tratar de convencer a su enemigo. La película al principio es algo lenta, pero a medida que va pasando el tiempo está va creciendo en emoción y suspenso. No saber a qué te enfrentas y tener que valerte de tus instintos para sobrevivir es una de las cosas que hacen de esta cinta interesante, se puede sentir el miedo en algunas escenas y el estar adivinando los posibles culpables es lo que hace que esta película te mantenga atenta.

The best part is that it all happens while Elvis is doing his show, live his radio listeners will feel what happens in the program. Elvis is 25 years old, broadcasting his radio show, but that night he will feel what it's like to be on the other side of the radio, listening to what he has to do, a situation that will put him on edge. His assistant, Mary (Ali Seror-O'Neill), will try to be the emotional balance between the man who wants to destroy Elvis and his surroundings. I liked the way Mel plays this character, Elvis Cooney, a narcissistic, self-centered, radio divo, in contrast to the caring, concerned father and husband. Two sides of the same coin, that ambiguity in Elvis' character is what makes this character interesting and compelling.

Lo mejor es que todo pasa mientras hace su programa Elvis, en vivo sus radios escuchas sentirán lo que acontece en el programa. Elvis tiene 25 años, transmitiendo su programa de radio, pero esa noche sentirá lo que es estar al otro lado de la radio, escuchando lo que debe hacer, una situación que lo pondrá al borde. Su asistente, Mary (Ali Seror-O´Neill), tratará de ser el equilibrio emocional entre el hombre que quiere destruir a Elvis y lo que lo rodea. Me gusto la manera como Mel interpreta a este personaje, Elvis Cooney, un personaje narcisista, egocéntrico, un divo de la radio, en contraste al padre y esposo cariñoso, preocupado. Dos caras de una misma moneda, esa ambigüedad en el carácter de Elvis, es lo que hace de este personaje interesante y convincente.

Finally, the negative: it is somewhat slow at the beginning, at times it does not maintain enough interest to generate the suspense that is needed in a thriller with few characters and exteriors. It is not coherent in some parts to be credible for something like this to happen. However, the film is entertaining, it has good moments, you feel that suspense and the desire to guess who is behind everything that happens and the best is the ending, how unexpected it is and something you do not expect and imagine after watching the whole film. So if you are looking for something to watch this weekend I recommend you see it and tell me what you thought.

Finalmente, lo negativo: es que es algo lenta al principio, por momentos no mantiene el suficiente interés para generar ese suspenso que se necesita en un thriller con pocos personajes y exteriores. No es coherente en algunas partes para ser creíble que algo así ocurra. No obstante, la cinta es entretenida, tiene momentos buenos, se siente ese suspenso y las ganas de adivinar quién está detrás de todo lo que pasa y lo mejor es el final, lo inesperado que es y algo que no te esperas e imaginas luego de ver toda la cinta. Así que si buscas algo ver este fin de semana te recomiendo la veas y me cuentes que te pareció.
