Gemini Man 4K review
Master killer Henry (Will Smith) after another successful order tries to retire: he goes to a farm in Georgia, slowly fishes, in general, enjoys peaceful old age. But his government authorities are not going to let Henry go so simply: the soldier is too valuable. And when Henry learns from one of his friends that he should not have known, they open a hunt for him - and they send Henry to kill ... Henry himself (Will Smith). More precisely, his clone - as skillful, deadly, but also young.

Ang Lee - the director, of course, is amazing. Not only because “Hulk” and “Brokeback Mountain” can calmly adjoin in his filmography (moreover, looking at them you won’t be surprised at this neighborhood), but also because how visionary ambitions diverge from his method of narrator. That is, for example, everything is clear with Zach Snyder or Michael Bay - the image and text are in perfect pathos-masculine synergy. Ang Lee can use the advanced graphics at the time of 2003 to tell the story of the Hulk, which does not fit at all - either intonationally or in style - into the superhero context. The incredibly detailed CGI tiger (and this is 7 years before the “Lion King” and 4 years before the “Jungle Book”) in his Life Pi becomes part of a strange national metaphor. He uses cutting-edge shooting of 120 frames per second and 4K for the absolutely everyday story of a soldier in the terribly unappreciated “Billy Lynn's Long Walk During a Break of a Football Match” - a film that any other director would calmly put in a convenient academic format and would probably take a couple or two “ Oscars. "

Here is a similar situation with Gemini. A host of high-profile technological innovations (120 FPS! 4K! Real 3D!) In an amazing way coexists with the gut of an absolutely archaic action movie. No action, no, it’s the “action movie” - a relic that crawled out from somewhere in the VHS era with all the typical attributes - stupid van liners, hero-functions and a rudimentary plot about genetic engineering, the army of clones, killer ninjas, good-evil Russians and God knows what other nonsense. Actually, the Gemini script was also written back in the 90s (it seems that it was outdated already then), but for a long time they couldn’t take it off because of a complex high-concept: I had to wait until the technologies catch up with the idea and allow us to rejuvenate the main actor. Technology has caught up. But the script remained where it was written.

And he was very lucky that of all the possible directors (and everyone was attached to the project at different times - from Tony Scott to Joe Carnahan) he got to Ang Lee. In his hands, the stillborn script takes on the dimension of some pleasant naivety, and the truths spoken a billion times are the very new sincerity that is so often written and talked about in the context of contemporary art. “Gemini” in a paradoxical sense, cinema is generally very modern - and thanks, of course, to innovative technologies (in a couple of action scenes that absolutely justify itself), and because it is constantly in a state of postirronism: stupid, sometimes overly expressive - Lee is scattered here with techniques from grindhouse zooms to wide-angle optics in the spirit of Yorgos Lantimos - but not stupid enough to be subconsciously considered as a directorial move. But to us, in fact, it doesn’t matter how intentional it is: the author is, as you know, dead (figuratively, of course, we wish Engu Lee long life). The main thing is that even kill, it’s very funny.
