Three years after signing a decent movie, Air, about the story of a pair of basketball shoes, Ben Affleck directs and stars in one that has all the cards stacked against it for the title of the worst idea of his career.

A quelques mois après la version de Spike Lee, Netflix propose une nouvelle version du thriller de Kurosawa ‘L’enfer du mécontentement’
Three years after signing a decent movie, Air, about the story of a pair of basketball shoes, Ben Affleck directs and stars in one that has all the cards stacked against it for the title of the worst idea of his career. Animales es una nueva versión del thriller de Akira Kurosawa, El infierno del odio, que Spike Lee reinterpretó recientemente en Del cielo al infierno, con Denzel Washington como protagonista.

The Affleck operation shows that creativity in the audiovisual content farm is starting to be at minimum levels. More information. The actor and director of Argo fails to generate interest in front of or behind the camera with a script devoid of soul, bringing to life a mayoral candidate in Los Angeles who becomes embroiled in the kidnapping of someone from his surroundings. Your political, marital, and financial troubles are meant to be the three legs of an action thriller that becomes tedious because it is built on a plot that splashes around on the surface of the genre without achieving the slightest narrative tension. In ‘Animals’ by Ben Affleck… If it’s hard to imagine a personal perspective behind the cameras in such a mechanical story, Affleck also seems out of place as an actor. At least as lost as his character, a politician who relies on the Latino vote when the kidnapping that drives the plot also involves his Mexican employees. The starting point is the same as Kurosawa’s work, but Animales diverges more than other versions of the film that inspired it. The core, with everything, still revolves around the dilemmas of a powerful man pushed to the brink. It’s intriguing that Animals premiered the same week as two series with strong film backgrounds, Carrie and East of Eden.
