Canary Black (Amazon) The Director Of Taken Gives Kate Beckinsale A Set Of Skills
Quick Take: A desperately forgettable vehicle for Kate Beckinsale finds her as a spy pushed to treacherous limits to save the one she loves. A simple premise. Director Pierre Morel is famous for giving Liam Neeson a particular set of skills, and the starved Kate Beckinsale is looking for leading vehicles that don’t involve reviving the Underworld franchise. Though, in this day and age, it does seem inevitable that Underworld will return with or without her. Based on the mediocrity of Canary Black, I’d suggest to Kate that it should be with. this film has the sad weight of being the final film of Ray Stevenson, who rounds out a cast that includes Saffron Burrows (who also is in need of better work). This is just a new loud action movie for junkies much the same way Hallmark has a new movie each week. Some people are just better off playing the greatest hits. The audio description was pretty good, maneuvering through all the action sequences. A rather creative car chase still stands out to me thanks to the audio description.
