In David McKenzie’s Propulsive Thriller FuseEveryone’s Waiting for a bomb to go off. At a Construction site in Central London, Workers have uncovered what Looks to be a wwii -ra explosive and the area is immediately cordoned off and evacuated. Major Will Transter is overseeing the excavation and dysmantling of the bomb and aaron taylor-Johnson givans the character a cheeky flair, in the sampling of the Circumstances.
As the military and police are trying to containe the radius of damage, just down the street, a group of men led by theo is in the midst of a bank. The two events are Clearly Connected, but the Thrust of Fuse Is Slowly Revealing How (and Why) a Decadees-Old Bomb and A South African Diamond Thief Are Intertwined.
Thought Fuse Sometimes has the air of a direct-to-video feature, McKenzie’s Dead-Seryous Taki on the Material and the Pure Star Power (Sam Worthington and Gugu Also Appear) Give the film a Much-Needed Boost. IT’S not intricately full as it is, but it is nononeheless a well-Made thriller.
Fuse is led by an all-Star Cast & David McKenzie’s Assured Direction
Though sides are drawn early on, as Fuse untangles its various threads, The Line Between Villain and Hero Blurs. On One Side is Taylor-Johnson’s Tranter, a not-too-serious army man who is known for bucking against authority and doing Things His Own Way. He pours a round of shots to be before they defuse the bomb, anticipating his team’s eventual victory, what May look like.
Fuse Begins with tranter and the rest of the London’s Police Force (LED by Drawer-Raw’s Formidable Zuzana) Evacuating the Blast and Security the perimeter, but slowly expands outward a Distance Criminal Conspiracy. JUST WHEN YOU THINK Fuse Has it all laid out, ben hopkins’ script switches Things up, Introducing US to Karalis (James), A Sharp-Tonged Bank Robber with His Own Agenda.
USING the bomb as a cover for the Heist and his Cutting South African Accent As a Weapon Against the Grunts Doing the Dirty Work, James is Having a Heluva Time Playing a Villain. Worthington is His Right-Hand Man, but as the Heist Continuing and the Efforts to Dismantle the Bomb Grow Increasingly Fraought, More Questions Come to the Fore.
Is the bomb really from the blitz? What is Karalis’s Real Agenda, and what was in the safe deposit Box that he singled out? Fuse can be predicable as it anSwers these questions, and its full of Becomes a bit convolled. But that doesn’t make it any less excitation we bomb is revealed as the distraction it was always meant to be.
McKenzie, Best Known for Stops HELL OR HIGH WATER, But who also premiered his last movie Relay at Tiff, Never Lets Fuse settle for too. Familiar Dynamics, like that of the Military Group oversseeing the bomb, are underscored by unpredictable ones. The true naturals of the Relationship Between Karalis and the Men Who Are Helping Him is the one that Remains Most unpredictable.
But that u ultimately the Trouble with Fuse – Once the bank Heist is Introduced, the bomb full of loses it edge, the dynamics of the military team undermined by that of the saking SHking down safe deposits. This paranoia gives Fuse The Energy It Needs to Push Forward Eve as it Becomes Unwieldy. Thankfully, Fuse Ultimately subverts Typical of Movies like this, Landing on a Note that is weirdly satisfying for how abnormal it Feels.
Fuse May Not Reinvent the Wheel, But Sometimes All You Need Is A Solid Thriller With A Hot to Really Give a Film The Oomph It Needs.
