djhonda6911 THIS MOVIE IS A FULL 10 A MUST WATCH. A LOT OF TWISTS AND TURNS AND VERY GOOD ACTION...NOT A SLEEPER

adonis98-743-186503 An American backpacker gets involved with a ring of drug smugglers as their driver, though he winds up on the run from his employers across Cologne high-speed Autobahn. Collide was even worse than i expected i mean if you hated Ben Kingsley in Iron Man 3? in here? he is 10 times worse. Hopkins also doesn't fit well for me in this kind of film and the romance between Hoult and Jones was so bland. The action was even worse and the direction was terrible don't waste any time or money on this.

cantordelanoche In every movie there is an expectation to suspend disbelief..to an extent. This one asks you to shut off any relations you have with common sense or cognitive thought. Anthony Hopkins (he is fab, but over the top) character...a real baddie, but ultra powerful, stand up business man, famous, squeaky clean...is suddenly popping people and brandishing a gun in a gas station..in Germany...Germany!...where there is probably a camera or two. Like his henchman (who we assume is highly trained & paid) thinks it is a genius idea to run around a Subway station brandishing a gun...and shooting it in the air..in....wait for it..Germany......AGAIN there is probably a few cameras & cops around. Then there is the empty eyed hero...I counted 3 times in the film where he gets lucky flailing around and grabbing something that saves him. I was bored and watched it, felt compelled to write this....did the Producers assume people have gotten really stupid? they had a budget and two amazing actors. They decided to make a film about a dummy getting chased by villains who make stupid mistakes. Instead of saying "ok, we got the guy from Sexy Beast...let's shoot for that level"

lavatch "Collide" succeeds because it does not pretend to be anything more than it is on the surface: a fast-paced thriller with a campy sound score, well-developed characters, and some sly humor.The film's subtitle is "How Far Would You Go For the One You Love?" That monosyllabic cliché fits perfectly with the schmaltz of the characters, a young American hustler (Nicholas Hoult) and a beautiful American blonde (Felicity Jones), who are both expatriates residing in Germany.The two villains are perfectly matched with the urbane cutthroat businessman-drug lord (Anthony Hopkins) and the uncouth middleman Geran (Ben Kingsley). The snooty Hopkins character Hagen quotes Shakespeare and snobbishly looks down on his underlings. By contrast, Kingsley is an insecure social climber more interested in status than wealth.The two young lovers are caught up in the daring gambit of the heist of a truck carrying golf balls filled with cocaine. Casey Stein, the hustler who falls in love with Juliette, who needs a kidney transplant, proves himself capable of escaping from the clutches of both Hagen and Geran.As the film wears on through the fast-paced action sequences, it is impossible not to root for Casey and Juliette to defy the odds and turn the tables on the Shakespearean line quoted by Hagen: "Never was a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo." For a couple of mushy hours of an action film, however, it does appear as though love conquers all!
