"Ghost Patrol". The actors of a cheerful blockbuster

"Ghost Patrol" (actors of the first plan: D. Bridges, R. Reynolds, K. Beykon) is a somewhat frivolous, but very cheerful blockbuster about the adventures of policemen from the afterlife. German production director Robert Schwentke professionally builds the narrative, trying to balance the choppy chases and gunfights with the measured wit of the character dialogues.

The executors of the main roles of the militant "Ghost Patrol" actors Bridges and Reynolds demonstrate to the viewer a strong and harmonious screen duo, though fading in comparison with the union of the beautiful model and the pot-bellied Chinese. The most charming film star of the last decade portrays the inimitable Kevin Bacon.

Plot. String

Fantastic action movie "Ghost Patrol", the actors and roles of which have been selected exceptionally successfully, has a simple but curious plot. A good law enforcement officer from Boston Nick (Ryan Reynolds) in an effort to ensure his beloved goes to a crime - he hides the ingots of gold seized from gangsters just now. The next day, he dies at the hands of his partner Bobby Hayes (actor Kevin Bacon), who nicked Nick to hide the precious metal.

Instead of hell or paradise, the hero finds himself in a temporary receiver-distributor, in which an experienced lady official, not without sex, Proctor (Mary-Louise Parker) offers him the choice: to continue their afterlife or to serve in a Phantom patrol, a police analogue. RIPD is engaged in the capture and imprisonment of roaming on the ground among the living escaped dead.

Adventures begin!

Broken morally and possessed by a thirst for revenge, Nick immediately agrees to the service and gets into the partners of the grouchy Roy Sifus - an aged cowboy from the XIX century. The partners, after exchanging "courtesies", go to Boston, but ordinary people see them in a completely different guise: Nick is in the body of the elderly pot-bellied Chinese Jerry Chen, and Roy is in the image of the ex-model of the sexy blonde Marisa Miller.

Avatars of the main characters - not the only surprise of the picture "Ghost Patrol". Actors James Hong and Marisa Miller with pleasure occasionally tried on the hypostasis of the main characters. The first case confronts team-mates with conspirators who have decided to bring all the dead to the ground. In this involuntarily turn into a beloved Nick Julia Walker and his dishonest former former partner - the insanely charismatic Kevin Bacon.

Actors' Ensemble

German director Robert Shventke, who has on his account evaluated by film critics the work of "RED", still found a formula for success. In the past, the project involved a whole star detachment of movie veterans, but this time the director drew only one, but this option was absolutely a win-win. Jeff Bridges decorated his presence with a blockbuster "Ghost Patrol". Actors working with him were glad to raise their bar of professionalism, gain experience from a professional. Indeed, Bridges can save any, even obviously failing film. Therefore, the project Shventke was his next brilliant benefit. By the way, the role of Roy was considered candidate Zak Galifianakis, but he was not satisfied with the schedule of filming.

The performer of the role of Nick Walker (Ryan Reynolds) also did not hit the dirt in the face. The actor for the fourth time involved in the movie, shooting on the comics. Before that he managed to play Hannibal King in the tape "Blade 3: Trinity" (2004), Deadpool in the film "X-Men: The Beginning." Wolverine "and in the" Green Lantern "(2011) Hal Jordan. The cast of the film "The Phantom Patrol" appreciated the charisma and charm of Reynolds.

The main intrigue is supported and initiated by the character of Kevin Bacon. The actor turned into a truly sinister and charismatic antagonist.

For the role of the chief of RIPD was considered Jodie Foster, but she never gave consent to participate in the filming of the film "Phantom Patrol". Actors, whose photos adorn the film's poster, are familiar and beloved by the viewer. This is an indisputable fact.

As a result,

Against the background of serious and heavy blockbusters of the last decade, the "Ghost Patrol" looks rather modest and unobtrusive. The hour and a half of the film is ideal. His narrative is uncomplicated, but full of humor. His heaped special effects do not amaze, but amuse. This is a real positive urban fantasy, which is easy to watch and interesting.
