Ese estilo es llevado por un héroe que en este caso es interpretado por Gerard Butler, es el que se encarga de la estrategia salvadora del planeta, saltándose lo que puedan pensar sus compañeros o sus superiores, sin nada que le haga temblar el pulso ante las presiones, así como con un verdadero patriotismo a la par con el Capitán América. Es ese tipo de personaje que nos gusta a muchos en este tipo de producciones, así como lo he mencionado, quizás algo trillado, pero con una fórmula que todavía surte efecto en los espectadores.

En Tierra

Ciertamente el filme no solo es abarcado desde el submarino, los acontecimientos en territorio enemigo también juega un papel importante dentro de la narrativa, así como en la dosis de acción esperada en el filme, por lo que conoceremos a un equipo de comando que necesita realizar la peligrosa e impensada misión. Los personajes de este comando es de los típicos utilizados para este tipo de narrativas, sin embargo, me parece necesaria para la trama y que no se sumerja en el agujero de la monotonía que implica ver a un grupo de sujetos dentro de un submarino. En líneas generales, este equipo elite nos otorgan buenas escenas de disparos y acción que complementa la narrativa bélica, por lo que me parece un acierto a pesar del cliché que pueda significar.

Algo Curioso

Es inevitable hacer comparaciones cuando el filme nos dice "presidente de Rusia", ya sabemos quien es y como luce en la vida real, sin embargo, el actor que interpreta ese personaje en específico es totalmente distinto, ahora bien, lo realmente curioso es que uno de los capitanes se parece mucho al presidente actual de Rusia, uno de esos militares que reciben órdenes y que dirige un grupo armado hasta los dientes de militares rusos, me causó bastante curiosidad y en lo particular pienso que fue premeditado, es mucha casualidad y no les miento, me causó algo de risa ese detalle.

Efectos Especiales

Para ser un filme del 2018, los efectos especiales no son muy buenos, en algunas ocasiones pareciera que estamos viendo efectos especiales de principios de los 2000 o un par de años antes. A pesar de que los productores sin dudas se ahorraron dinero en cuanto a este trabajo técnico, el filme no necesitó de una cuantiosa cantidad de efectos especiales para mantener la atención, puesto que el filme se sostiene en su narrativa con un ritmo acelerado, en combinación con las apariciones de sus personajes que estuvieron decentemente interpretadas.

Opinión Final

A mi parecer, el entretenimiento está asegurado con este filme que se encamina por un carril bastante conocido de la industria, gritando Hollywood por todos lados, sin embargo, el filme no va más allá del típico guion tradicionalista norteamericano lleno de heroísmo y patriotismo, así como lo he mencionado, es una fórmula trillada, pero al mismo tiempo efectiva, por lo que es una película que cumple con la dosis de entretenimiento durante los 120 minutos de metraje que posee.

A mi parecer es entretenida, posee las características propias de un buen filme de submarinos y de acción, aunque si tuviera que elegir entre esta película norteamericana y la francesa llamada Canto del Lobo, diría que la producción europea es superior por introducirnos en una extraordinaria habilidad auditiva de uno de los jóvenes a cargo del sonar, esa característica que podríamos decir "inusual" le otorga, a mi parecer, un poco más de valor que el típico guion norteamericano.

¿La Recomiendo?

Sí, aunque quizás sabemos lo que ocurrirá, también tendremos asegurado el entretenimiento del cual muchos estamos acostumbrados desde muy jóvenes, si bien no es una producción como para algún premio de relativa importancia, creo que cumple con nuestras exigencias de entretenimiento, sobre todo, de aquellas producciones comerciales que de vez en cuando deseamos ver, la recomiendo.

Hunter Killer

[English Version]

Sometimes I decide to see the top of popularity of Netflix, or simply enter the news section, recently I noticed that Hunter Killer is in that top of popularity (it still is at the time of this writing), this is a 2018 film that I had seen, but not in its entirety, I decided to play this movie because I wanted to see some Hollywood style action. It is a film that at the time of its release was recommended to me, however, I had not been able to appreciate it in its entirety on that occasion that it was being broadcast on television, so I decided to watch it again on Netflix to make an objective opinion on one of the "commercial" films in trend at the moment.

This film has certain traits similar to a French production I reviewed months ago called El Canto del Lobo, although apparently submarine stories usually carry a somewhat similar plot line. Hunter Killer carries that DNA that is perhaps found in these types of stories since the Cold War, in fact, the enemy of choice for these types of productions is Russia, accentuating that feeling about the conflict between east and west that viewers like so much.

Synopsis:

To avoid a war between Russia and NATO at the hands of a Russian general, a submarine and an elite commando have the dangerous mission of rescuing the president of Russia to again take control of its armed forces.

Film Analysis

The story is interesting, although it may seem cliché or trite, it seems to me that this type of story always has the potential to attract viewers, we all fear that an armed conflict escalates into a nuclear war, so having this context as a latent possibility is interesting for many of the viewers who like war productions.

This film dives into familiar waters, as Hollywood has accustomed us, such as the bravery and great leadership of the protagonist, an almost prophetic intuition and of course, a luck beyond logic that is accompanied by the sequences that will be shown in the film, however, despite all of the above, it does not mean that it is a totally disastrous film or that it is a total waste of time, I think it is a good film, as we will find what we are looking for, a plot and action very much in the American style.

Source

That style is carried by a hero who in this case is played by Gerard Butler, he is the one in charge of the saving strategy of the planet, skipping what his companions or his superiors may think, with nothing to make him tremble his pulse before the pressures, as well as with a true patriotism on par with Captain America. It's that kind of character that many of us like in this kind of productions, as well as I mentioned, perhaps somewhat trite, but with a formula that still has an effect on viewers.

On Earth

Certainly the film is not only covered from the submarine, the events in enemy territory also plays an important role within the narrative, as well as in the dose of action expected in the film, so we will meet a commando team that needs to perform the dangerous and unthinkable mission. The characters of this commando are the typical ones used for this type of narrative, however, it seems to me necessary for the plot and not to dive into the hole of monotony that involves seeing a group of subjects inside a submarine. In general terms, this elite team gives us good scenes of shooting and action that complements the war narrative, so it seems to me a success despite the cliché that may mean.

Something Curious

It is inevitable to make comparisons when the film tells us "president of Russia", we already know who he is and how he looks in real life, however, the actor who plays that specific character is totally different, now, what is really curious is that one of the captains looks very similar to the current president of Russia, one of those military who receive orders and who leads a group armed to the teeth of Russian military, it caused me quite curious and in particular I think it was premeditated, it is very coincidental and I'm not lying, it caused me some laughter that detail.

Special Effects

For a 2018 film, the special effects are not very good, sometimes it seems that we are watching special effects from the early 2000's or a couple of years before. Although the producers undoubtedly saved money on this technical work, the film did not need a lot of special effects to keep the attention, since the film is sustained in its narrative with a fast pace, in combination with the appearances of its characters that were decently interpreted.

Final Opinion

In my opinion, the entertainment is assured with this film that goes down a well known path of the industry, shouting Hollywood everywhere, however, the film does not go beyond the typical American traditionalist script full of heroism and patriotism, as I mentioned, it is a trite formula, but at the same time effective, so it is a film that meets the dose of entertainment during the 120 minutes of footage it has.

In my opinion it is entertaining, it has the characteristics of a good submarine and action film, although if I had to choose between this American film and the French one called Wolf Song, I would say that the European production is superior for introducing us to an extraordinary hearing ability of one of the young men in charge of the sonar, that characteristic that we could say "unusual" gives it, in my opinion, a little more value than the typical American script.

Source

Do I recommend it?

Yes, although perhaps we know what will happen, we will also be assured of the entertainment that many of us are accustomed to from a very young age, although it is not a production for a relatively important award, I think it meets our entertainment demands, especially those commercial productions that we want to see from time to time, I recommend it.

Thank you for your reading, until next time
