![]() Writer/Director Steven Knight has done some challenging and compelling, yet highly violent, thrillers such as A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE and EASTERN PROMISES in the past. At the same time, a different young boy is designing his own elaborate role-playing game inside a home far away from the island, with a story that parallels what Baker is going through and which proves to have serious consequences for Baker as well. He gives Baker a stern lecture about good and evil, right and wrong, and Heaven and Hell as consequences of his actions. It’s a crazy idea and Baker’s friend, Duke, wants nothing to do with it. She offers to give Baker money if he will kill her new and violent second husband (Jason Clarke) by taking him on a fishing expedition and making it look like he died by accidentally falling into the ocean and being eaten by sharks. ![]() When Baker’s ex-wife, Karen (Anne Hathaway), shows up by surprise, however, she pleads with him to help her and the young son they share. Baker’s sloppy drunkenness and rude behavior toward customers has the business on the ropes. The movie stars Matthew McConaughey as Baker Dill, a hopeless drunk who takes customers out on ocean fishing expeditions with the help of his longtime trusty aide, Duke (Djimon Hounsou). In the end, SERENITY turns out to be a captivating morality tale with a nifty twist and strong though too brief Christian, moral elements, but it’s marred by lots of strong foul language, some lewd content, a depicted bedroom scene, violence, and substance abuse. The new dramatic thriller SERENITY tries to do the same thing and mostly succeeds, in a tale of a drunk and struggling fishing boat captain offered the chance to kill a woman’s abusive husband for money, but he faces unexpected turns along the way. Night Shyamalan, such as THE SIXTH SENSE and the current hit GLASS, are almost unique in their ability to stun audiences with last-second shocking revelations that alter their perceptions of everything that came before. The movie’s ending and a speech by Baker’s friend gives SERENITY a strong moral, Christian worldview, but it’s marred by lots of strong foul language, some lewd content, a depicted bedroom scene, violence, and substance abuse. The relationship between Baker and his ex-wife provides a lot of psychological and moral tension. SERENITY turns out to be a rather captivating morality tale with a nifty plot twist. When Baker’s ex-wife shows up by surprise, however, she pleads with him to help her and the young son they share. I do recommend you should watch it but treat it as STAND ALONE movie, not as a resolution to the tv series.SERENITY is a new dramatic thriller starring Matthew McConaughey as Baker Dill, a hopeless drunk who takes customers out on ocean fishing expeditions with the help of his longtime trusty aide, Duke. also sorry to spoil it for you two of the crew are killed which i do NOT think was necessary. it didn't have as much humor as i would have liked, and the old western theme was not as present as i would have liked. ![]() I think you all would enjoy it just be careful with more sensitive people.įor those of you who have watched firefly this movie was a bit of a letdown to me. for any of you who have not watched the tv series firefly (you should because it is amazing) this is a very good movie, and it has an excellent plot line. i am actually 14, but i rated it 15 and up because it is a bit much. this movie also has a bit of a horrifying realization near the end, and to add to the gore the characters go into a city of zombie like bodies which is VERY creepy and horrifying. So it was a good movie, but DO BE WARNED it has these creepy, scary, and a bit gory characters in it which are called reavers.
