MOSCOW, June 1, Anna Nekhaeva. In summer at the box office is usually a lull — blockbusters without meaning and passing comedies. But this season, films will be shown — winners of status festivals (with Depp, Hathaway, Huppert), long-awaited new items (with Borisov, De Niro, Roebuck). About what not to miss in the cinema — in the material.
«Translator» by Guy Ritchie
A landmark premiere. Jake Gyllenhaal has played the military before and looks convincing in the action thriller.
His character is platoon leader John Kinley, who is trying to remember how he survived an ambush in Afghanistan. Returning home to the United States, he realizes that Ahmed, a local translator, saved him.
Kinley decides to return to Afghanistan to help the translator and his family, because enemies are looking for them.
The film is about human relations , he casts doubt on Ahmed's motives, shows John's tossing. The action is replaced by touching dialogues.
The Translator is one of Ritchie's most dramatic films. He left humor and flirting with the audience in «Operation Fortune». =»0.664347826086957″ data-crop-width=»600″ data-crop-height=»399″ data-source-sid=»» class=»lazyload» lazy=»1″ />
