Echo Chamber - 254
People, EchoChamberFP is here for your weekly dose of film fun!
Today we have a couple of Netflix joints, one in collaboration with Inoxy Films is an action / crime caper. The other is a documentary adapting a self help book, which is cloaked in a different get up! Then Saban Films take a look at a Nic Cage western!!! PLUS, we have news of the up-coming Sci-Film London Film Festival!!!!
'AKA' (Kimdim Ben) is directed by Morgan S. Dalibert and co-written with Alban Lenoir. Adam (Alban Lenoir) is a lone wolf with countless fake identities and passports who does the dirty work for any government who’ll hire him. His new mission: Infiltrate a criminal organization in France to thwart an imminent attack. This time, however, he’ll need a foolproof identity — so he’s told to use his own. But when Adam ends up bonding with the crime boss’s (Éric Cantona) son (Noé Chabbat), he faces a moral dilemma that may jeopardize his mission.
'The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck' is directed by Nathan Price, and written by Tom Blackwell & Matthew Metcalfe, narrated by Mark Manson. Based on the Global Bestselling Self-Help Phenomenon, this is a cinematic documentary designed to help us become less awful people. The author himself, Mark Manson, cuts through the crap to offer his not-giving-a-f*ck philosophy: a dose of raw, refreshing, honesty that shows us how to live more contented, grounded lives.
'The Old Way' is directed by Brett Donowho, and written by Carl W. Lucas. Colton Briggs (Nicolas Cage), a cold-blooded gunslinger turned respectable family man, is is forced to face the consequences of his past when an outlaw (Noah Le Gros), the son of a man he murdered years ago, and his gang arrives to take his revenge. Colton is forced to take up arms with an unlikely partner — his 12-year-old daughter (Ryan Kiera Armstrong) to avenge the death of his wife (Kerry Knuppe).
