Ein Film, der über seine historische Vorlage hinauswächst und der sich heute, fast zwei Jahrzehnte nach seiner Premiere, wie ein queeres politisches Manifest anfühlt – und eine Mahnung ist. Und das nicht nur wegen der tragischen Geschichte, die der Film erzählt. In Sean Penns Darstellung von Harvey Milk liegt eine Verletzlichkeit und Würde, die selbst nach dem Abspann nachwirkt. Ob Julia Klöckner ihn allerdings je gesehen hat, ist mir nicht überliefert… (ZDF, Wh)

My on-going effort to empty the TiVo has lead to #Homefront (2014), where the wooden Jason Statham is horrendously mis-cast in what is clearly a 1990s Jean-Claude van Damme movie. (It was originally supposed to be Stallone, I read; but swapping to Statham didn't make the character work.)

It's also another occasion where 'wholly unnecessary sex scene' and 'James Franco' go in the same sentence. It's a scene that adds nothing to the plot nor to either of Franco's or Winona Ryder's characters, and as pretty much the only sex reference in the entire movie could have been cut without changing the character of the movie at all.

If you've seen Hard Target, this is basically the same thing but with a wholly dislikeable and unsympathetic leading character and added James Franco. It's not worth it.
