Blockbusters January J. Lo blows up the wedding, Gerard Butler — military, and Tom Hanks — neighbors

January 2023 was generous with films of different genres: action films, comedies and one historical Ukrainian drama.

Shotgun Wedding

USA, 2022, action, comedy, romance

Premiering: January 5

Starring: Jennifer Lopez, Josh Duhamel, Jennifer Coolidge

Jennifer Lopez is a wedding movie champion. But if Julia Roberts regularly ran away from them, then Jennifer obediently walked down the aisle. However, this scenario is fed up, and now you are waiting for a wedding mixed with adventure. Moreover, they will not be romantic, but combative. Newlyweds Tom and Darcy will put up a worthy resistance to terrorists who will try to capture the guests of their ceremony as hostages. J. Lo with a grenade is not a sight for the faint of heart.

Operation Fortune: The Art of Winning/Operation Fortune: Ruse de guerre

USA, China, 2022, spy thriller

Premiere: January 5, 2023

Starring: Jason Statham, Cary Elwes, Hugh Grant

A fairly predictable action movie in terms of quality – Guy Ritchie and Statham do not spoil the film furrow. Don't expect any breakthroughs, but you will definitely have fun.

It is known that the film was supposed to be released in the spring, but due to the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine, it had to be edited. The fact is that Ukrainian bandits turned out to be the enemies of the spy Fortune – the filmmakers considered that this was inappropriate and removed the nationality.

So: a suitcase is stolen, the contents of which threaten the end of the world, and Fortune is instructed to return the valuable thing back. The super agent Mi-6 alone will not be able to handle such a thing, therefore the international intelligence service “Five Eyes” is in contact with him. One Hollywood star was also brought in to cover the operation.

“Operation Fortune” is chases, shootouts, fights, parties, crowds of beauties, jumping from planes, explosions and, most importantly, the gloomy and concentrated face of Jason Statham , whose character does not misfire.

By the way, in the comments, people regret that their compatriots were removed. One of the viewers wrote: “The gang of Ukrainians was changed. It's a pity. It wouldn't offend me personally, but on the contrary, it would arouse more interest.”

Shchedryk

Ukraine, Poland, 2023, drama , history

Starring: Yana Koroleva, Polina Gromova, Joanna Opozda, Andrey Mostrenko

1939 City of Stanislav. Three families of different nationalities live in the house under one roof. Ukrainian, Jewish, Polish. They have long found a common language. However, first the division of Poland, according to which the city of Stanislav passes to the Ukrainian SSR. In 1941, the place was occupied by Nazi troops, then the Soviets came again …

The authorities change, but the magical “Shchedryk” invariably unites people who are subjected to endless pressure from the repressive machine, first one power, then another.

A Man Called Otto

USA, Sweden, 2022, comedy

Premiere: January 12

Starring: Tom Hanks , Rachel Keller

Otto is a complete grumpy widower who is dissatisfied with everything: drivers, dogs, cats, neighbors. He had these traits in his character before, and after the death of his beloved wife, the ability to see motes in other people's eyes became his second nature.

When new neighbors appear – a young married couple with two children – Otto begins to traditionally get them , and any other people in their place would, of course, explode with righteous indignation. But not them. They have immunity. On the contrary, their total friendliness, humor and love, as it turned out, is impossible to resist. Otto's icy heart begins to slowly but surely thaw.

Tom Hanks (“Forrest Gump”, “Elvis”) at first pretended to be a beech – an actor who has dozens of the kindest characters in his arsenal, but then, of course, he allowed himself to stir up and make more humane. The task for Tom, as for a super-pro, is obviously not difficult, but it's still nice to watch.

Flight/Plane

USA, UK, 2023

Premiere: January 26

Starring: Gerard Butler, Mike Colter, Daniella Pineda

Screening of Charles Cumming's novel “Airplane”. Charming Gerard Butler (“300 Spartans”, “The Naked Truth”) is convincing in absolutely all roles: both comedic and dramatic. In this case, the second half of his abilities will be needed.

The criminal is being transported on the plane, which is piloted by Brody Torrance. As a result of an accident due to a storm, the plane is forced to land on the island, where there are continuous battles between warring factions. Brody is trying to protect his passengers, and will help him in this … the same criminal: you don’t know where you will find, where you will lose.
