Serenity

McConaughey är som klippt och skuren för sin roll som väderbiten fiskare med mystiskt förflutet.

Nothing is ever as it seems in film noir, a genre built on hidden motives and delayed revelations. Serenity, a preposterous tropical-island thriller from writer-director Steven Knight, takes that principle to an absurd new extreme.

Serenity offers the less-common inverse: a magnificently terrible idea, executed to perfection. It is the best kind of bad movie, bristling with more spectacularly dysfunctional personality than one hundred conveyor-belt CGI bonanzas.

Anne Hathaway and Diane Lane anchor a soapy neo-noir that jumps the shark so many times it just might hook you.
