to doChris PrattIs the star of the ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ and ‘Jurassic World’ saga directing a series? Surprise should only be relative. After all, the real surprise for a few is that the actor’s Appeared as clumsy Andy Dwyer from ‘Parks and recreation’ sitcom transformed into a muscular big-screen action hero. with tense ‘Last list’ (Prime Video, Friday, day 1) Pratt doesn’t go to the series, but returns to them, but uses what he’s learned (and the physics he’s acquired) in his nearly ten-year film career.
Based on the 2018 Jack Carr book, this action-psychological thriller explains: The revenge story of Navy SEAL Commander James Reece sea After ending up as the sole survivor of a dangerous mission, he begins to connect (try) to connect the dots that is, isn’t, can’t be, another military tragedy.. His platoon was to assist the Syrian forces in capturing a chemist suspected of leading the biological weapons program. But in the moment of truth, an ambush transformed Reece into the new Ethan Hunt within ten minutes. ‘Mission impossible’ He almost lost his entire team.
Reece wants to know who is deliberately giving them false information: Iranians? Russians? Assad? The truth could be worse and involve the US government itself. But the tricky thing is to know if the truth of our hero, his version of events, is reliable: he suffered a concussion that lurked in lurking, affecting his memories (old and new overlap) and his perception of reality. In that sense, Pratt is less of a new Hunt than Tim Robbins. ‘Jacob’s Ladder’The actor, admitted by the effect himself, is also a producer here.
anything less can be
We talked to him about other movies and TV shows that could be ‘Last List’. Films in particular: Pratt occasionally calls it a ‘film’ in our conversation, and the slide is easy to understand because there is little stylistic difference between it and the director’s previous work. antoine fuka‘Training day’ and ‘Equalizer: Hand protector’ to which we owe, among other examples action cinema in an ‘old school’ spirit. “As a psychological thriller, it owes a lot. ‘memory’‘, says Pratt. ‘But also ‘Three days of the vulture’, ‘The Espionage Game’ or for the visual part, ‘shooter’. Also, when we look ‘The darkest night’ for war episodes shot in underground tunnels that we don’t want to be too cinematographic, but rather realistic.” Pratt was involved in the transition of Kathryn’s aforementioned classic from “sitcom” to “blockbuster”. Bigelow: He was one of the guys in SEAL Team 6 who took down Osama Bin Laden.
Pratt also learned new skills from Fuqua’s arm, while having the opportunity to reuse what she learned in that and other physically demanding films. expression skills. Or the expressionism of the phrase: “Fuqua—she explains—helped me get away from Reece and remind myself that it’s okay to say less. Mystery is our friend. That can be difficult for an actor. It’s as if by counting less, doing less, you are losing the opportunity to be great. Sometimes we like to chew our lines the way we want. We have thirty seconds and we want to make the most of it: ACT in capital letters. But often the best thing you can do… is to do very little.”
The same lesson applies to Fuqua, often in the direction of continuous shots, composed of readable choreographies of violence and majestic impulses. This isn’t the kind of hyperbole that seems to be the only genre possible in today’s cinemas. “Many of us miss more realistic action,” Pratt says. “The trend right now is to go very big. A Lamborghini jumps off the Empire State Building and explodes in mid-air, and a dinosaur descends and sweeps away the wreckage and… [Reímos]. Limitation sounds risky. There is a possible fantasy act that big companies sometimes avoid for fear of not getting enough.”
sensitive intersection
How it will sit among audiences and critics who mourn in full for the Uvalde and Buffalo massacres, as well as a series full of guns to which a particular cult has surrendered, remains to be seen. I ask Pratt and his co-star taylor kitschIf they read Hollywood’s open letter about the need to responsibly represent gun violence on screen, which is also included in an interview with a former SEAL on ‘The Final List’. Pratt: “I read that letter and I think it makes sense. I don’t know what the paths are, but I know I want to use the right paths. Either way, James Reece is a good guy with a gun. Maybe that’s what we need: better guys with guns.” Kitsch immediately tries to save his colleague: “Well, there’s a difference between showing off and glorifying. I hope people see how these action sequences help push the story forward; that they are not just causeless violence. that was the intention“.
