Bad subsequent observation of Aaron Paul became a disappointing movie about video games

Success on television is not a guarantee that you can run this success on the big screen. Undoubtedly the true aspect of Hollywood is that while some people are lucky to easily move to and from small and big screens, encouraging the audience to make a leap with them, many others can find a true success in one environment.

Eg Being such a cartoon and flamboyant in the malcolm in the middle, Call your own villains like Walter White. It was also in the observation of the Star of Crankress Aaron Paul as an unhappy dealer Met Dilers Jesse Pinkman, fighting to make himself a name and perhaps go straight, even if the man who would be hezenberg dragged him to the border. Considering that in a few years there was only 62 episodes “Breaking Bad”, it is even more impressive that Paul was able to understand the audience and critics that he was an actor of huge talents and emotions, winning three Amy awards for the best actor for download. (Back in order, hard to believe Another three actors instead almost played Pinkman.)

Awarded, though he was, however, Paul never made a successful jump on a big screen. But this is not for the absence of attempts when you think about the timing of its first big project after “Breaking Bad”. It seemed on the paper that such a thing that was not supposed to break. It was a genre film, in particular a combat film full of intense car sets. Paul was also surrounded by a talented ensemble; He could well move himself as Jesse, but in dealing with a strong group of actors there is no shame to make your work better. The film in question also had a built -in name recognition, seeing it was inspired by a popular video game set.

Yes, the 2014 movie “Speed” is sure seemed As if it were destined to become a hit … But it actually turned out to be a great scope and Miss (at least in the US).

It is easy enough to understand why DreamWorks Pictures and Walt Disney (through its composition Touchstone Pictures) felt that the movie has the potential in turning video games “speed in speed”. The games went not only in the racing, but they focused specifically on illegal street races-and if you think that even for a second, the Universal Pictures enjoyed the franchise “fast and fierce”, this is mostly not a manipulator. Just as the studio will require a continuation of the popular movie, if the first does well enough, demanding more of the same, other studios will want to be copies if they see that the competitor works well with the formula that seems easy to repeat.

As a bonus, the video game “speed of speed” are also distributed to the mid-1990s, which means that most viewers have at least dating them (even if they do not fully understand why and how they do).

The film, which germinated from this Copycat idea, has at least an impressive acting, several of which were still in his early career. Apart from Paul, who plays in Toby Marshal, Mechanics and Street Riders, who longs to clear his name for the crime he has not committed, there is Imogen Poots as a seller of an exotic car and love for polo; Michael Kitan as Rapis and the unshakable live flow that conducts underground racing competitions in which Toby participates; before- “fifty shades of gray” Dakota Johnson, like former Toby; Dominic Cooper as Toby’s main competitor; And even a young, pre -“Mr. Robot” Rami Malek as one of Toby’s associates. (A funny fact: While the “speed need” was the first major China video project, He almost starred in the notorious 1993 “Super Mario Bros”. movie in front of him.)

It is worth noting that /Movie actually gave the “speed need” gently positive review At the time of exit though Most critics were less good To the film when it was hit by the theater in March 2014. Part of the release with this movie is simple: it’s just as funny as the “fast and February” movies (at least before this property became even greater and deliberately stupid with the latest records), and nowhere else is nowhere fun. The prerequisite for “speed needs” in which Toby created by his competitor Dinu (Cooper) for the death of his friend during the race that turns into a super roar is as intense and stupid, if Paul almost does not make you feel too much of the loss of his hero and cruelty of the crime he never committed. Undoubtedly, Kitan, like his colleagues, Scott’s “Baby Kudy” Messkiy (playing one of Toby’s most comedy allies), seek to be playful in their performances, but their tone does not match the slow, trick of this 130-minute movie, which, unfortunately, does not have enough cars.

Of course, a movie that is not successful with critics does not mean that it is about the box office. But the “speed of speed” was one of the types of movies where everything lined up. Just as critics were largely dissatisfied with the film, the audience did not demand him to see … at least in the US. The film did not open against mass competition, but only the repeated performances of the animated film “Mr. Piboda and Sherman” and “Swords and Sandari” “300: Rise of AMPIR”. However, the “speed needed” could not improve the rental for opening, installing only $ 17.8 million. When everything was said and done, its domestic cashier amounted to more than $ 43 million than a registered budget of $ 66 million.

Now it is fair: as in the case of “Fast and February Films”, the need for speed has earned a lot more money abroad, which led to a total global gross in $ 203.3 million. Out Plans for “Top 2” Requires were actually announced in 2015. However, for various reasons, the project fell apart for a decade, which followed, putting the future of the franchise in bed with Paul’s film production. It did not help to have the meaning that the American distribution of the first movie, Touchstone Pictures, was on the verge of what was still retired before the theater release.

As for Paul? He has been quite successful since Breaking Bad since then. Shortly after the failure of “speed needs”, he headed back to a small screen to serve as one of the main characters in the brilliant Netflix cartoon “Bojack Horsumen”, and then appeared as a repetitive character in the next seasons of the HBO “Westworld” science fiction. But his cinema career was not so impressive in comparison, despite the fact that he appeared in a number of India over the past few years.

Of course, it was not for the lack of attempts. If you watched “Breaking Bad”, you could easily see how extremely talented Paul was. The genre receipts of the show would allow many people to understand that if he successfully switched to the films, Paul would have been in militants and thrillers for years. But the audience simply did not feel “speed needs”, so he quickly returned to television for his future work.
