How far would you go for the one you
love? That’s a tagline that’s been tethered to umpteen
drama/thriller/crime flicks over the years, where a character is thrust into
such a perilous situation that it leaves their significant other with little
choice but to maneuver around a series of obstacles to ensure their safety.
Another movie to hew close to those hackneyed conventions is this
summer’s heist movie Collide, an action-packed romp that
finds Nicholas Hoult in the
role of Casey Stein, an Average Joe who is ready to risk life and limb to
save his ailing girlfriend, Juliette (Felicity
Jones).
In order to afford those astronomical medical bills for a kidney transplant,
Hoult’s protagonist returns to a life he thought was far behind him smuggling precious
cargo for a group of powerful mob bosses. Directed by Eran Creevy the by-the-numbers thriller also stars two bona
fide acting heavyweights in Ben Kingsley
and Anthony Hopkins, with the former
playing the role of a crooked gangster who lures Hoult back toward the city’s
criminal underbelly.
Collide darts into theaters on August 19.
