a man called otto

In this episode of Start Action Cut, Padmakumar K and Vishnu Muraleedharan are decoding 'A Man Called Otto' starring Tom Hanks. 

The first batch of movie reviews for 2023 from Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy arrives with quite the show. 14 reviews in all ranging from some late acclaimed 2022 catch-ups from the international scene (Broker, Saint Omer) and another mystery with Edgar Allan Poe as a participant (The Pale Blue Eye). Erik describes what could be the nuttiest plotline of the new year (The Devil Conspiracy) and Steve looks at a new horror film drawing both ecstatic praise and hatred (Skinamarink). Speaking of the Blair Witch, Joshua Leonard co-writes and co-stars in a comedy about baby mishandling (The Drop) and Gillian Jacobs takes on multiple roles in an anthology from various filmmakers (The Seven Faces of Jane). Stephen Dorff and Emile Hirsch are thieves who didn’t get the memo about farmhouses in horror movies (The Price We Pay) and Nicolas Cage is out for revenge in his first released western (The Old Way). The horror continues as the duo look at sex workers and religious extremism (Candy Land), the conflicting screenplay of a rousing pandemic-era slasher (Sick) and if a killer doll that is all the rage is worth the hype (M3GAN). Finally, Gerard Butler crash lands into a war zone (Plane) and Tom Hanks is a very grumpy man with a big heart (A Man Called Otto).

The Upside called and wants its January counter-programming American remake marketing campaign back. That's right, we're reviewing A Man Called Otto this week, which hits wide release tomorrow through Sony/Columbia. The Pittsburgh-set movie stars Tom Hanks as (you guessed it) Otto, and the Cinemaholics have a wonderful time debating Hanks' performances over the last year. We also discuss (briefly) Marc Forster's filmography thus far and how this new movie compares to A Man Called Ove, the original Swedish adaptation of the book by Fredrik Backman.

Den biografaktuelle "A Man Called Otto" med americas dad Tom Hanks i hovedrollen, er en hjertevarm, sjov og charmerende lille film!
Men med et så stort et navn som Tom Hanks i hovedrollen, er det så okay, at filmen bare er det, nemlig, okay?
"A Man Called Otto" er den amerikanse remake af den svenske film "En Man Som Heter Ove" eller på dansk "En Mand Der Hedder Ove" (og bog af samme navn, skrevet af Fredrik Backman og instrueret af Hannes Holm).

Vi bringer her vores spoiler frie anmeldelse over filmen!
