The Last Spin

Danny and Tigo. Two men in a basement meeting each other the first and at the same the last time. Both of them have lost themselves to a bit wrong environment, in the middle of the gang war. They are not supposed to know nothing else of each other than one of them wears a blue and gold gang jacket and the other has a green and orange one. But the end of story is quite a different. During the cylinder twirles, seeking for a cartridge-fulled hole, ready to being launched to kill other one of the men, the men are not so unknown to each other that they should have been.

The reason to that they meet each other overall is that the blue and gold gang had become to the wrong area last night instead of that there supposed to be a truce between the two gangs. Now it was Danny and Tigo´s turn to prove their loyality to their own gangs, being ready to kill for the higher position in the gang.

Tigo is a volunteer to try first the cylinder because he has more less to lose than Danny. Both of them postpone the first turn so long as they can. In common the two men have the will to leave behind the gang life and start a new one. Both of them are trying to keep up the illusion that it´s going to be OK and they will survive this some way. Danny tries to take thinks out of hard reality and suggests to Tigo going to the nearby lake with their girlfriends, though he knows that it is just utopia. He could have not suggest it any earlier because the situation isn´t relaxed enough to think anything else that the mission in that moment. To make the situation running faster, Tigo adds extra bullets to the gun. Before the men know each other far to well.

Danny doesn´t dare to show his feelings that he is scared, because the enemy is an enemy and thinks that Tigo would laugh to him and if the couldn´t survive away from the basement, Tigo might tell in front of the both two gangs that the blue and gold- gang only has cowders as their members.Tigo doesn´t bother to hide his fear.

The two characters have originally joined their gangs because they had to find a place where to escape the broken family relations and poverty, to earn money as quick and as lot as possible, may because sending a part of it to the family. The gang brought safety to moving on the streets, at least for a while. 

The colloquial language is a good add to bring more underworld athmosphere to the story.

 

 

 

About Ocean´s eleven

It has been said that the first movies are better than the sequels.The ideas just start to finish when the sequels follow each other. In the case of Ocean´s I Can´t say that the first would be that better than the others do.

Masterthief Danny Ocean ( George Clooney) has just got out sitting his time in jail. The promise not to brake the rules of parole does not keep for a long time and soon his old ten-personed crowd; Robert ”Rusty” Ryan, Basher Tarr, Linus Caldwell, Saul Bloom, Reuben Tishkoff, Frank Catton, Turk and Virgil Malloy, Livingston Dell and Yen will be together again planning a new gigantic theft. The plan is to rob three casinos at the same time. How to get through the massive security system? There is also an another problem; The owner of all those three casinos is Terry Benedict (Andy Garcia), the man who doesn´t give mercy to his opponents. Ocean has also an own bone to pick with him; After Ocean got a charge, his girlfriend Tess (Julia Roberts) changed the scenery and started to date Benedict.

The characters stay a little distant to the observer. A few of the actors say only couple of words and that´s it. But in the movie that´s not the point to get deep into the characters soul, just concentrate in the operation. It seems that the operation will not become to manage. After tough situations the crowd goes away from the casino doors with 150 million dollars, without the casino boss even finding out it yet. For Benedict is it enough to see from the camera that Ocean tries to warm his relationship with Tess and the casino takes Ocean to the examination. Despite Benedict cannot prove Oceans deal with the casino robbery, he will get caught by the police as the only one of the crowd just at the end of the movie.

 The humor in the movie is tastless and ugly. The environment self is dirty and scruffy, so its no wonder that the humor is also like that. The music doesn´t dazzle. If there´s no better to do at the weekend evening than to watch this kind of rubbish, I´m quite worried.
