The protagonist and the director and screenwriter of Flee!Daniel Kaluuya and Jordan Peele are back, but not necessarily renewed, either no! It is a film to be rubbed with enthusiasm.

Kaluuya has a trained animal business, which she inherits from her family and has worked in for years, and which she offers to Los Angeles TV and film studios. Something falls from the sky and ends up killing his father (Keith David’s brief appearance).

From what I understand, much of what is seen and told no! It shouldn’t be spoiled, and it should be left to viewers to find out, let’s skip it and just say that the combination of western, thriller, sci-fi and even comedy passages shows Pelle as a risk taker.

He does not risk, he does not win. But here Peele does not win. Nor the public.

when it premiered Flee! (2017), the answer was unanimous: Jordan Peele, his director and screenwriter, was a real discovery for the big names in Hollywood. It was the actor’s debut as a director, the film about the young African American being molested by his girlfriend’s white family had several Oscar nominations – including Best Picture and Director – and Peele ended up receiving a statuette for Best Original Screenplay. .

Like academics they usually pat the director-screenwriters of independent cinema on the back where they see the projection in the future. They had already done so, among many others, with Quentin Tarantino.

And many have seen Peele as a reincarnation and / or improvement of what they once popped up to say. M. Night Shyamalan when it premiered Sixth Sense. If Shyamalan was called “the new Spielberg”, after a short time he had to save his nickname due to the uneven career of the director of the protectedyes, but also The end of the centuries Y After Earth.

neither too much nor too little

But back to Peele, that two years later Flee! Before we, in 2019. Has it rushed, some of us are wondering? Shouldn’t he have further refined the script of the film starring Lupita Nyong’o and Elisabeth Moss, about these strange visitors harassing a family?

Well, he had more time to create no!where his taste for terror, or should we say obscene suspense, converges with science fiction.

And the result leaves a lot to be desired.

Peele knows how to pose – like Shyamalan: as they resemble each other – the plots of his stories. They all have a hook from the first pictures. The problem arises in no! when, as he develops it, not only does the attention weaken, but the viewer can even ask himself the damned question that no director would want to hear from the audience. “Really?”

Peele opens a subplot as soon as the film begins, featuring a killer monkey in a TV series. Then you will have your why. But it seems to underestimate the public (just spoiler alert, move on to the next paragraph, even if it’s not that bad): is it that no one notices that there is a cloud standing in the sky for weeks?

The film has good special effects, shock effects – which are not the same – in sound and a story that collapses. Oh, and it’s long.

“No!”
