Review: Beckett is a grim, bruising thriller brutally grounded in current politics.
has a similar hue and gait. It’s grainy and low to the ground and bureaucratic, which renders all the violence that much scarier., with a story by Filomarino, has far more of a sense of place than do other international capers whose exotic settings are merely aesthetic. Whetherprecisely depicts the current tensions in Greece over austerity measures imposed by the E.U. and other issues may not be for me to assess. But the effort for specificity is appreciated.
He has, in that great hoary movie way, stumbled into the middle of a vast and sinister conspiracy, and must elude his would-be killers while trying to figure out why he’s been targeted. As he goes, Beckett has to run and jump and climb and crawl and fall and fight and do all manner of other taxing things, his body bruised and bloodied and exhausted.
That visceral credibility weakens toward the end of Beckett’s journey, which is also when we meet a more movie-ready villain than this spare and efficient film needs. But otherwise the climactic sequence, set amidst a protest in Athens, is a bracing and strikingly sad set piece, one cognizant of the greater consequences existing outside the question of Beckett’s survival.
When the end credits roll, there is still an air of ambiguity surrounding the conspiracy that Beckett has gotten tangled up in. The perpetrators are suggested but never exactly confirmed—which might have felt like a cop-out, but instead rings true. The nefarious forces of this world are not always so easy to suss out and concretely identify; motivations and allegiances criss-cross and contradict.
