Maskuline film

"Kan du ikke anbefale nogle mandefilm?" lød opfordringen.

Hvis det blot er et ønske om simpel tju-bang, er mine anbefalinger nok uinteressante. De fleste serier  - John Wick, Fast&furious, Bond, Bourne, Mission Impossible osv. osv. - burde kunne tilfredsstille den kløe.

Mændene er gode venner. Skurken er ond. Damen er dejlig. Chefen er dum  - men siges imod. Der er masser af krimi, konflikt og pistol.

Men man kan også tage det et lille nøk op.

Der findes også tju-bang-film om mænd, der lever (og formentlig dør) efter et sæt regler, de ikke fraviger. Uanset modstanden

Klassikere her er :

Michael Mann: Heat, Collateral, The Insider, Theif

Mere moderne (og sadistiske):

S. Craig Zahler: Bone Tomahawk, Braw in Cell Block 99, Dragged Across Concrete (uartig film med Mel Gibson og  Michael Jai White)

Taylor Sheridan: Wind River, Hell or High Water, Sicario (spoilers)

Historierne i de 10 film er ret ens:

“Down these mean streets a man must go who is not himself mean, who is neither tarnished nor afraid. He is the hero; he is everything. He must be a complete man and a common man and yet an unusual man. He must be, to use a rather weathered phrase, a man of honor—by instinct, by inevitability, without thought of it, and certainly without saying it. He must be the best man in his world and a good enough man for any world.

“He will take no man’s money dishonestly and no man’s insolence without a due and dispassionate revenge. He is a lonely man and his pride is that you will treat him as a proud man or be very sorry you ever saw him.

“The story is this man’s adventure in search of a hidden truth, and it would be no adventure if it did not happen to a man fit for adventure. If there were enough like him, the world would be a very safe place to live in, without becoming too dull to be worth living in.” Raymond Chandler om sin detektiv Philip Marlowe

Mindst halvdelen burde lige nu kunne fås på danske Netflix, Viaplay og Prime - resten måske med lidt VPN-hjælp eller noget tålmodighed.
