360

When you see a powerhouse cast with the likes of Anthony Hopkins, Rachel Weisz, Jude Law, Ben Foster...well, let's just say you expect great things. This movie has so much potential because you understand what the intention is within the first ten minutes of the film. The storyline takes you through a series of slowly interconnecting scenarios, most of which plod through chance meetings and circumstances that could make you think about the interactions we have with others on a daily basis. There is a problem, though. The character development leaves much to be desired and it's possibly intentional, allowing the viewer to connect the dots and draw conclusions as the movie goes along. I'm all for thought-provoking character analysis but it seems like the story attempted to take on too many characters at once, creating a jumbled, incongruent attempt at exploring the impact your decisions have on the lives of others.The storyline is strained with the burden of weaving lives together through a series of decisions people make (and don't make) but the ending is woefully empty - the emptiness comes from knowing that these lives crossed paths and yet never really seemed connected to each other in the first place. Again, possibly intentional and food for thought. Maybe the most inconsequential interaction triggers a series of life-changing events...but i'm sure we've all seen that movie many times before (Crash...21 Grams...you catch my drift). For instance, Jude Law's character barely encounters a novice hooker in a bar. Does that missed connection lead her down a certain path or does it lead him to question who he is as a husband, a father and a person? Maybe both but you are left wondering why that interaction even mattered in the grand scheme of the film...a couple struggling with the blandness of marriage could have been more compelling, in my opinion. I get the underlying themes (struggling with the Id - our nature, the desires we fight, what makes us moral and good people, blah, blah, blah) but neither the cheating husband nor cheating wife inspire any sympathy at all. Ben Foster's character, recently released from jail, struggles desperately with demons during a chance encounter with an emotionally wounded woman. Figuratively speaking, the predator in him seems to back away from the wounded prey. Oddly enough, Foster's character is more of a sympathetic one than that of the haphazard philandering husband played by Jude Law.The viewer starts to understand in short order that every chance meeting sets off a series of events but there is nothing to be said for the impact these chance encounters have on the other person. You can draw your own conclusions but what the movie lacks is a truly compelling story. I recommend it if you have time to kill because it's not one of those movies that makes you wish you had that time back. It just makes you wish the writer tried a little harder to make you care.

The writers and producers must have been very tired. Even with Jude Law and Anthony Hopkins this movie is tedious and boring. Hopefully the musical score was free as it is painful to listen to. I didn't like anything about this movie except the early hope it would improve as time went on. It didn't.

This is not for you if you are unfamiliar with European-style films and don't like the games they can play with your head. It takes patience and persistence, but it's worth it. What at first seems like four unrelated stories with a disparate cast of characters connects in the end (although perhaps too neatly), bobbing and weaving through the lives of people with human flaws that we all recognize. The all-star cast is terrific and, thankfully, resists the temptation to overact. Anthony Hopkins is obsessed with finding his long-lost daughter, Jude Law and Rachel Weisz come close to wrecking their marriage, other characters drop in and out as they struggle with religious conflicts, prostitution and corruption. I found this movie both engaging and thought-provoking.

Nice tale about boldly going forth and about universes of possibility proceeding from our choices, especially in relationships. Anthony Hopkins is great as a guilty husband and father who expiates his sins by caring for a vulnerable young woman he meets on a plane. We also see him in an AA meeting in which, it occurred to me, he was talking about his real-life recovery. Spoiler alert: Rocco the pimp, seemingly dead on the floor of a hotel room five minutes before the ending, is back in action in the final scene. How is this possible?

Many of the negative things critics said about the film were the very positive reasons why I liked it. Some films I watch straight through. Some films I pause, come back later, next day, etc. I watched this in pieces, and maybe that's the best way to watch it? although I'm kinda old, so I tended to forget some things the next day. Anyway, I like films with actors that I like, for example, Anthony Hopkins, etc, and just beautiful people, like the Brazilian girl. Nice film for me.

Really enjoyed the "name" actors popping in and out of the story. The movie grips your interest, and does bring you full circle.

It takes alot for me to take time out of my day to write reviews, so here goes. I'll leave all the extra information of the cast etc. to those who previously reviewed.The story intertwines beautifully that at one point you feel as if you've experienced dejavu. The whole movie left me in awe. If you can get past all of the sensuality and dig deep into the emotions and drives of the characters, then it becomes more than sex scenes and daily lives.The sisters, one becomes a hooker for fast money and the other is more like her manager. A husband comes close to cheating realizes his poor judgement was from the lack of intimacy at home, and his wife who is cheating but gives up the relations to rekindle the flame in her marriage. The convicted sex offender, released to the public, struggles with triggers and eventually makes the right decision. The obsessed employer over his employee has to make a tough decision of either his moral beliefs over persuing a married woman or get the woman he desires. A body guard, or as he calls it, a dog guarding his criminal boss, being treated poorly has an original dead ending that will keep you guessing!

Sisters whose lives diverge. Husband and wife who almost separated but got back together. The wife’s boyfriend has a girlfriend who left him and met a father looking for closure for losing his daughter. She also met a sex convict on the way to recovery. A dentist’s assistant who wanted a divorce but the boss whom she is infatuated with fired her , and the husband found new life with one of the sister at the beginning. So it goes 360 as the name of the film suggest.The idea is old, but the stories are engaging here. And the actors are great.

A set of interlinking stories of male-female encounters in the age of globalisation, which post-Trump, post-Brexit, mid-pandemic seems a lost world, even an innocent one. The film is about non-fulfillment of desire but seizing the moment nonetheless. Bizarrely, the film-makers make no reference to Arthur Schnitzler's Reigen (previously filmed in French as La Ronde) on which 360 is loosely based. It deserves a much better reputation than it appears to have.

Good copy, excellent movie, intriguing little stories, which makes sense at the end of the movie - keep watching!! quick delivery, thank you very much

Really good movie with several interwoven plots.
