There was a disagreement between two former best of friends (Damon’s Sir Jean de Carrouges and Driver’s Jacques Le Gris). It was meant to serve as a means of soliciting justice. The film gets its moniker, which is perfectly fitting, as it chronicles the literal last duel authorized by the monarch King Charles VI. The first features a superstar cast (Matt Damon, Adam Driver, Ben Affleck, Jodie Comer) in the most chilling of true tales that takes place in 1386 France. He has two films on this end-of-year list. Ridley Scott had one amazing year in 2021. The thing is, they chose the wrong guy to drag out of retirement. Mansell thought he was good to go-he got married and had children for goodness sakes! Now, something or someone from his past has returned to take the only commodity that matters-his life. He thought he could quit the life of being a highly trained assassin behind. Odenkirk is just a Nobody, except he is a somebody. The actioner comes from the writer of the John Wick movies, Derek Kolstad, and Russian director Ilya Naishuller (who gave us the grossly underrated Hardcore Henry in 2015). The previously known as solely a comedic actor made the leap to the big screen effortlessly in the action-packed thrill ride that is Nobody. So, without further ado… here are the top 21 of 2021.įew play the “everyman” as well as Bob Odenkirk ( Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul). The cinema landscape that is our top 21 of 2021 is a varied group that includes actioners, period pieces, a piercing lampooning of our response to potentially world-ending issues, and even a tale of a man and his Pig that will likely result in Nicolas Cage working his way back into the world of Oscar nominee. Will it go down as a landmark year, such as the so-called Hollywood Golden Year 1939 and its height of the Depression, or 1975 and its explosion of filmmakers pushing envelopes of excellence? Time will tell… In that sense, 2021 did its job and certainly kept us entertained. It is during tough times, especially, that we turn to those cinematic stories to take us away. Movies, I feel, have become our national pastime. It was not the best 365 days as a whole, what with the pandemic still dominating our world and disrupting the making of and promoting of movies-like countless other businesses.
