O tem filmu

Vizionarski filmski ustvarjalec Guillermo del Toro nam prinaša to v noir slogu posneto psihološko kriminalko, v kateri igrata Bradley Cooper in Cate Blanchett, umeščeno v ozadje mračnega cirkuškega življenja. Ko se karizmatični Stanton Carlisle (Cooper), ki ga je zapustila sreča, prikupi jasnovidni Zeeni (Toni Collette) in nekdanjemu mentalistu, zdaj njenemu soprogu Petu (David Strathairn) v potujočem cirkusu, dobi na videz zlato vstopnico do uspeha. Bolj, ko uporablja svoje na novo pridobljeno znanje za varanje newyorških bogatašev v 40-ih prejšnjega stoletja, večje so njegove ambicije. Stanton kmalu s krepostno in zvesto Molly (Rooney Mara) ob sebi skuje načrt, kako ogoljufati nevarnega mogotca (Richard Jenkins) s pomočjo skrivnostne psihiatrinje (Blanchett), ki se izkaže za njegovo najstrašnejšo nasprotnico. V zvezdniški zasedbi ULICE NOČNIH MOR so tudi Willem Dafoe, Ron Perlman in Mary Steenburgen. Mojstrski pripovedovalec del toro je zrežiral napeto kriminalko, za katero je po romanu Williama Lindsayja Greshama napisal scenarij skupaj s Kim Morgan.

Ocene in mnenja

Probably the best, "real" film, you will see this year. This trailer is somewhat misleading in its portrayal of the film. It is not predominantly about a carnival freak that may be man or beast. Other trailers give a far better glimpse of what you will see. I cannot recommend this film highly enough. It is magnificent on so many levels. Cinematography, script, story, pacing, cast, acting. Buy it. Enjoy it and watch it again. It will have you thinking about it, long after you watch it.

A storyline that really pulls you in with excellent cinematography. Best film I've seen in years and definately watchable multiple times. "Of course it's only temporary, just until we get a real Geek".

What a waste of time and good actors in such a poor and boring film.
