I can say that Fast Charlie is one of the productions that has made its own difference, although it is quite remarkable because it keeps the action in dose and its story is suitable for real life. When you watch the movie, you can see that the positive reflection given by the unique movements of the characters adds a separate viewing pleasure to the movie.
Although the movie seems to stand out in the action and crime genres, I can say that the comedy aspect was just as effective for me. Even the struggle within the story of the movie is funny to me, let alone the characters.
After more than 20 years of working for a mobster named Stan Mullins (played by James Jaan), Charlie Swift (played by Pierce Brosnan) meets an unexpected end on his last job. He completely beheads the man he is tasked with killing and the corpse is unrecognizable. He must prove to his captors that the corpse is the man he was supposed to kill. The story of the movie takes place in this confusion and the new adventure begins for him to prove that the person he killed is the right person.
First of all, I can say that this story was funny to me because the events that develop in the moments when he is trying to prove it get out of control. Add to that the mastery of Pierce Brosnan as Charlie, and the story of the movie expands as action and comedy go hand in hand. He falls in love with the victim's ex-wife Marcie (played by Morena Baccarin), who joins him on his quest to prove that the person he killed was the right one.
The fluidity of the movie and the way the story was handled was extraordinarily successful. It never lets you get bored or confused at any moment. With the elements added to a simple story, it progresses in a pleasant adventure to watch. What I liked the most was Pierce Brosnan's acting. Apart from that, I liked the fact that there were no gaps in the story and that every event in the story, which progressed calmly, was in accordance with the fiction created.
The way friendship, love of duty, recklessness and adrenaline are conveyed to the audience through the characters makes the movie different. After watching it, you accept that it is an action movie, even though there is not enough action in the movie. I can say the same analogy for the comedy and crime genre. There are not many funny scenes, but the story and a few characters are funny enough.
The director and screenwriter of Fast Charlie did a very good job. Add to that the successful performances of the characters and the movie is well above average. The fact that the characters of Charlie and Marcie are in harmony despite being portrayed as opposites adds value to the movie. A few small details I have mentioned and a few I have not mentioned really made a difference to the movie. While watching the movie, I am sure that those who do not know the production date will think that it will be from the 1980s and 1990s. The atmosphere created and character reflections gave me this impression.
I would definitely say to watch the movie Fast Charlie, I think it is one of the rare productions that are extremely successful and reflected to the audience with the same success. I can't find anything to criticize the movie in terms of its characters and the way the story is handled. Such productions are opportunities for movie lovers.
Thank you for being here and reading. I hope I have given enough preliminary information about the movie. I wish everyone who will watch it a good time. Take care and goodbye!
