Hummingbird

Hiyaaa!

So I was MIA for sooooo long and I'm sorry bout it. haha but don't worry, I'm back and Imma bring some good news for you!

I was invited to watch the press screening of Hummingbird last week and I was actually surprised by the movie time they (KLIPS) told me which is at 10.30am, can you see that? is 10 in the MORNING! but thanks god I was in my sem break so I asked one of my friends to accompany me or maybe more like I treat him a free movie eh? haha either way is good to kill some free time during sem break tho and we did enjoy the morning. ;)

Lets me do a short review about the movie "Hummingbird"!





Here's the storyline (from KLIPS)
- Living homeless after going on the run from a military court-martial. Joey Jonas is a damaged ex-special forces soldier trapped in London's criminal world, but when opportunity enables him to assume another another man's identity, his is transformed into an avenging angel.

The director for this movie is Steven Knight, he's actually a British screenwriter and he's best known for screenplays he wrote for Dirty Pretty Things and Eastern Promises. Hummingbird is his directorial debut and honestly, it was kinda different from other thriller/suspense movie that we watched before and as a debut film that directed by him, is acceptable. Well, you just have to learn every skills when you are in the media industry, like what I'm doing now! ;)

I was expecting more action as Jason Statham is the leading role in it but it turned out to be a movie that everything move in a slow pace, they did not rush or makes you to have that kind of "oh! he is going to die!" feeling just like the few mins of silence in the beginning of the movie. but put aside of all those slow pace stuff, this movie did portrayed the life in England and the common underground crimes (drugs dealing) but is still kinda disappointing that this movie isn't the best of all, just that is something different from other movies. Overall, I think Steven Knight can comes out with a movie better than this.






Now I'm excited and anticipating for other première screening invitation from KLIPS! Epic, Monsters Uni, Man of Steel and a lot of other great movies!
Now the question, so,

What is KLIPS? 

KLIPS is Malaysia’s movie community where users connect to rate, review, watch trailers and earn free movie tickets to the latest movies. We want to bring Malaysian movie goers together to one place where they can get the best of the latest local and international movies.
