JohnnyLee1 Unsatisfying. I hope this was not Robin Williams' final movie. Poignant because it concerns the death of the character he plays. For this reason only was I able to watch it to the end. Not a good reason to view a film. But I wanted it to improve, even after the embarrassingly insensitive stuttering scene with James Earl Jones.
Kirpianuscus the best thing - the cast. a film who presents together Robin Williams,James Earl Jones, Peter Dinklage represents a real temptation.Mila Kunis search to give a decent character. the worst thing - the cast. because good actors seem be enough. the script becomes only a detail. far to be a bad film, it is an embroidery of well known clichés. dramatic, seductive in few moments. but not real convincing. a film about solitude, self introspection, cruel verdict and hope. about family and the challenges who transforms the life. bitter. and supported by the memories about Robin Williams. or by the fears, angry, need to escape from yourself who defines the existences of a large slice of public. one of films who seems have not real clear purpose. but comfortable as remember for a great actor who gives an ordinary gray character.
Simon R Taylor Henry Altmann (Williams) is having a bad day: he has a brain aneurysm that means he is going to die. After bullying Dr. Gill (Kunis) into giving him a prognosis, she lies and tells him he has 90 minutes to live, leading to Altmann's doomed struggle to right a lifetime of wrongs in no time at all.Altmann spends the movie dashing from one disaster to the next, with his doctor and family in hot pursuit. Williams handles the script brilliantly, exploding with rage one minute and oozing pain the next. His performance is at once touching and amusing. Whether it's his screwed-up face in his first contemporary scene, or his hysterical encounter in the junk shop with Ruben (Earl), this tragedy is a comedy.Perhaps the biggest disappointment is Peter Dinklage's criminal underuse as Altmann's younger brother Aaron. He's inoffensive and perfunctory, which seems a terrible waste given his comic brilliance in Game of Thrones. Combined with Williams' legendary showmanship, the pairing could have, and should have, been dynamite.Though elements of the plot are old hat (think urban Ebeneezer Scrooge, and the obligatory father-knows-best-for-rebellious-son turn), it's given a freshness here with its comically dark plot. There's a devastating irony as Altmann looks back on his mistakes, considers suicide and even refers to his tombstone reading '1951–2014′ when Williams' own suicide followed months later, and his own tombstone carries the very same dates. This was, indeed, the last of his films to be released in his lifetime.A very watchable and entertaining movie, The Angriest Man In Brooklyn does not particularly break any ground or challenge any of its cast. You won't regret watching it, but you won't necessarily remember either.
BlackRoseShelli I wish I would have seen this before Robin died. I think a lot of my feelings about this movie were colored by his untimely death. I tried very hard to watch it with an open mind, looking at it from the perspective that he was still alive. I failed miserably. The concept of the movie was an interesting take on an old question: what would you do if you knew you only had so much time to live? This put a whole new spin on the question, but the outcome was relatively the same. The cast was an unusual choice, in my opinion. Robin Williams was well known for being able to play a wide array of characters, from the brilliantly funny to the downright broken. This character was oddly complex. But again, maybe that's just me reading into it because of Robin's death. Ironically, one of the funniest scenes in the movie is the last scene, in which Robin's character is absent. In all, it was a fairly good movie that made me laugh and cry, and not necessarily at the points where you're supposed to laugh or cry. And it really made me miss the genius actor even more.
