Carlos (2010)
2/10
Disappointing
20 May 2016
I really enjoy movies based in the 70's such as Munich. Unfortunately it is not the case for Carlos.

The cinematography lacks coverage -- lots of hand held and quick pans..or maybe it's in the editing? Edgar Ramirez needs strong supporting actors to back him up in order for him to shine as a lead man (He is no Benicio Del Toro in Che) He too often over acts quite a bit especially when speaking a foreign language.

Here is a perfect example on how music can make or break a scene. On too many occasions the score/song used does not support or enhance the mood of the scene but instead it pulls you out and kills the moment.

Good action scenes, gun fights, explosions etc. Unfortunately it is not enough to save this effort.
