Dead Man Down : Movie Review


Niels Arden Oplev’s “Dead Man Down” is a very serious thriller featuring very serious stars being very serious about the seriousness at hand. Colin Farrell is a soulful Hungarian transplanted to New York, where he works as an enforcer for fatcat thug Terrence Howard. Noomi Rapace is the young beautician, her face disfigured in a recent accident, who falls in love with him. Dominic Cooper is Farrell’s sweet but sort of dumb pal and colleague; he struts hither and thither, dressed in a sad little track jacket and bearing a neck tattoo.
