The Chris Evans cooks apart (although it does not seem so to “El Cap” if they fit 5 good movies – performances), but among his “Chris” competitors, the three sons of bitches can barely put together A TOP 5! … and even adjust for a bonus.
Contributing two movies each (why is everyone else Marvel, DC, Jurassic World and a bunch of blowjobs like that), it’s not that they’re bad (well, maybe yes, a little), and maybe they just have one agent immersed in the blockbuster world that doesn’t let them exploit their potential. Or maybe it’s because of the name! And it is that of so many to choose from, why do 4 contemporary bastards choose “Chris”! It will be the serene as they say in my ranch, but while year after year I review their birthdays to be able to put together their “ranking”, every year I continue to be disappointed when I see more MCU garbage, dinosaurs or cheap action movies (with some entertaining exceptions, such as the case of Dungeons and Dragons this year, but it’s not that bad either).
Since a “good actor Chris” of the three is hardly put together, and celebrating the birthday of one of them today, here is a TOP with the best of the Chris.
Chris Pratt – June 21, 1979
Zero Dark Thirty (Kathryn Bigelow, 2012)
It had to happen that, to achieve managerial perfection, Bigelow joined an extension of his talent in the acting section, a Jessica Chastain who shines for her naturalness and sick obsession with capturing Bin Laden. Thus, Bigelow shows us who was the narrator who for some time understood the current war in the rawest and most natural way possible, from its roots to its spiritual and existential conflict, and thus be able to teach how to capture suspense and rhythm in a concise war drama in the face of other disastrous exercises that tried the same thing and failed. Pratt plays a small part in the last act, but it’s one of the best he’s ever done.
Moneyball (Bennett Miller, 2011)
Smart shopping, sports marketing, reading statistics and public relations, the main topics of one of the best sports dramas that shines thanks to the structure of its characters, which are the pillar on which the game rests by providing them with a deep and emotional background. that ties not only with the “capitalist” and sporty vein of the film, but also with its moving and realistic climax. On the other hand, the financial and market concept of return on investment plays an active role in the narrative, when a team with less budgetary power, after selling its main players, must now buy statistics instead of athletes. One of them is Pratt, in a small but good role.
Chris Pine – August 26, 1980
Hell or High Water (David Mckenzie, 2016)
Sheridan, a native of western filmmaking raised in the nostalgic violence of desert settings, has provided the genre with two excellent works, one of them this modernist cowboy tale that makes the criminal look like a victim of the system, creating an empathic entity resulting from the hostile nature of the territory and the curse of being born in it under its peculiar and same conditions as always: the wild. This emotional connection is posed as the brotherly bond of two sides (two brothers and two rangers) who immediately maintain an interest in the story and who are united by blood, violence and a taste for human hunting. Pine gives an excellent performance as the protagonist of this renewed western.
Star Trek: Into Darkness (J.J. Abrams, 2013)
Although the first part of this incredible reinvention had already used time jumps to set a new course, in this chapter the director and screenwriter confirm their promise of change by even taking risks against the romanticism of fan service, changing archetypes and promoting figures emblematic of the saga as new icons both heroic and antagonistic for new generations. Agile and entertaining, it is worth noting the inclusion of Pine as the greatest axis and strength of both as Captain Kirk. There is no doubt that we are facing one of the best remakes in history and a film that far surpassed all the Star Wars sequels together.
Chris Hemsworth – August 11, 1983
Bad Times at the Royale (Drew Goddard)
Low profile in the world of gringo cinema in 2018, this surprising and very entertaining thriller told from 6 aspects, maintains its brash interest thanks to the spark and credibility of its performances, the dark environment and a perfect and rhythmic editing, but mainly thanks to to his dark antagonist, a kind of metaphor for Charles Manson that Chris Hemsworth interprets in an overwhelming way and out of his comfort zone. To take into account now in its video format, this is one of the funniest gringo movies of recent years.
Rush (Ron Howard, 2013)
Howard finally strays from the script and shoots a double biopic that is made interesting by the interaction – rivalry of his characters, but also by the dramatic sobriety and tension of his racing scenes that make evident the talent on the director’s bench. So much was his departure from the American formula on this type of story, that his unfair forgetfulness of the Oscars that year seemed implausible, an indicator that clearly tells us that these awards in recent times are against quality. We definitely need not only this Howard more, but also Hemsworth, who outside of his comfort zone and within the dramatic registers, can surprise.
