Mortiz Mohr’s debut in ‘Against All’ could not have happened without him seeing this film
If you love movies full of scenes with painful blows that seem 100 percent real, Against everyone It’s for you, then the german director Mortiz Mohr gives us a bath of blood, action and comedy in this film starring Bill Skarsgårdwho has already demonstrated his versatility in front of the camera in productions such as Item, John Wick 4 and Eternals.
Bill Skarsgård plays Boy, a young orphan and deaf with a great thirst for revenge against the authoritarian Van Der Koy family, led by Hilda Van Der Koy (Famke Janssen) and guilty of his hearing disability. Boy is influenced by various video game titles that motivate him to obtain justice in a world where they are excited to see a televised execution.
And yes, the film is full of references to all those “slot machine video games” that we once played as children like Street Fighter, The King of Fighters or Mortal Kombat, Just watch the trailer and understand that the protagonist literally expresses himself with the famous phrases: “The number one player wins!”
Against everyone brings together the best of the genre thanks to the choreographic work of Dawid Szatarski combined with the talent of the Indonesian actor Yayan Ruhian, who has participated in equally epic productions: the saga The Raid, Star Wars: The Force Awakens and John Wick 3. In Against everyoneYayan Ruhian is a shaman who trains Boy to achieve his goal.
However, It is not the first time that we see a bloody story seeking revenge, Chad Stahelski He did it in 2014 with John Wick, Quentin Tarantino with Kill Bill in 2003 and, three years ago, Ilya Naishuller took up this formula in nobody. Among so many options to enjoy an action movie, which one influenced Mortiz Mohr to create such epic scenes?
There is a movie that I always remember when I think about this. ‘Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance’, someone’s Achilles tendon is cut and he just bleeds and bleeds into the river. It is always very painful to see this part.
Now you know, the saga from acclaimed director Park Chan-Wook, made by oldboyLady Vengeance and Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance They are excellent options to see after enjoying Against everyone in Latin American cinemas.
