Reviews
  • RoberEbert.com: Stands apart from many other recent indie genre movie throwbacks given a flurry of endearingly creaky and lurid flourishes. ***.
  • Battleroyalewithcheese.com: not for the squeamish or the faint of heart - especially with its subject matter and manner of brutal filmmaking - but if you’re on board with the religious horror sub-genre, then they’re a lot to enjoy and takeaway. It will stay with you long after the movie ends.
  • Cailloupettismoviereviews.com: Manages to provide a suspenseful and thought-provoking viewing experience, making it a respectable addition to the religious horror subgenre.
  • Flickdirect.com: An interesting story steeped in faith and lore yet grounded in the staples of the horror film genre.  It has suspense, gore, weapons, etc. and so many of the usual tropes.  Most importantly, it has the legs to become a universe of its own with several sequels organically built in.
  • Hmuncut.com: This film is not just a movie; it's an experience that will challenge your beliefs and leave you questioning the boundaries of good and evil. Don't miss out on this hauntingly enchanting journey into the unknown.
  • Irishfilmcritic.com: who doesn’t love a good old-fashioned thriller about ancient biblical prophecies and the end of times?
  • Jbspins.com: This kind of demonic horror is truly scary.
  • Nycmovieguru.com: Gritty, foreboding and atmospheric.

Plastic

Actie, Misdaad, Thriller
Beschikbaar voor VOD: 4 mei 2015
Regie: Julian Gilbey
Cast: Ed Speleers (Downton Abbey, Alice Through the Looking Glass, Eragon), Will Poulter (The Revenant, We're the Millers, The Maze Runner), Alfie Allen (Game of Thrones, Atonement, John Wick), Emma Rigby (The Counselor, Once Upon a Time in Wonderland), Sebastian De Souza (The Borgias), Thomas Kretschmann (King Kong, Stalingrad, Der Untergang, Eichmann)

Maak kennis met Sam. 24, gaf zijn studies op, wordt slapend rijker. Als je hem vraagt wat-ie doet, dan werkt hij "voor eigen rekening". Al dekt fraude met kredietkaarten de lading iets preciezer. Plastic dreams. Samen met zijn vrienden Fordy, Yatesey en Gurmet waant Sam zich een moderne Robin Hood. Hij steelt van de rijken – de kredietkaartmaatschappijen – en verdeelt de buit onder de... Nu ja, niet iedereen is perfect.

Wanneer ze de oogverblindende Frankie, een datamanager van Credex, voor hun zaak winnen, lacht de toekomst hen meer dan ooit toe. Maar vroeg of laat rip je de verkeerde. Zoals Marcel (Thomas Kretschmann, Der Untergang), bijvoorbeeld, een internationale crimineel die hen exact twee weken geeft om twee miljoen te scoren. Of anders...

Plastic is een hilarische, swingende misdaadkomedie met een jonge topcast: Ed Speleers (Downton Abbey), Will Poulter (We're the Millers, The Maze Runner), Alfie Allen (Game of Thrones), Emma Rigby (The Counselor) en Sebastian De Souza (The Borgias).

Reviews
  • Critics.associated.com: A great action film with some genuine comedy to it, and yet another opportunity to see Alfie Allen playing a heartless backstabber, Plastic exceeds the expectations.
  • Entertainment.ie: Gibley, who impressed with the dark A Lonely Place To Die, does rally the troops for the final half hour.
  • Britflicks.com: High octane thriller PLASTIC tells the story of intelligent and brazen Sam (Ed Speleers), who leads a ring of university students to become credit card thieves in order to augment their income. When 'Plastic' ends you'll most likely scratch your head as to how such a super, fantastical crime flew below you news radar. With stick on moustaches, beards and wigs, it's like 'Catch Me If You Can' flung into the internet and mobile phone age.
  • Dailystar.co.uk: GREAT performances and a witty script combine to make this one of the better British crime capers of recent years. Director Julian Gilbey (A Lonely Place To Die, Rise Of The Foot Soldier) has a lot of fun with way it's set up and he has a ball with it when it's being executed.The plot, which is supposedly based on a true story but plays out like an episode of Hustle, is deliciously twisty. But it's the clever dialogue and a dastardly turn from Allen that really makes it tick.
