Three films in one day? I think I still have momentum after the film festival.
"Survivor" is another film that I discovered on the ZDF Mediathek today, so I
watched it dubbed into German. I knew nothing about it in advance. I was
attracted by the actors Pierce Brosnan and Robert Forster. It's an American
film that feeds on the 9/11 paranoia. Kate Abbott (Milla Jovovich) is a
diplomat at the American Embassy in London who examines visa applications to
spot potential terrorists. She blocks the visa of Emil Balan, a Romanian
scientist, because she finds it suspicious that he's visiting a medical
congress. He protests, and her decision is overruled. But we see that he's
involved in a plot to detonate a bomb at the New Year's celebrations in Times
Square.
An assassin known only as the Watchmaker (Pierce Brosnan) is hired to kill
her. By luck, she leaves the restaurant where a bomb has been planted, but
several of her embassy colleagues are killed. Kate is blamed for the bomb.
There's an exciting chase through London, fleeing from the police while the
Watchmaker is still trying to catch her.
"Survivor" is a film with blockbuster potential, but somehow it didn't attract
enough viewers to make it a success. I enjoyed the film, but I don't think
I'll watch it again.
Success Rate: - 5.1
