The Rhythm Section is a contemporary adaptation of the first of British thriller writer Mark Burnell’s “Stephanie Patrick” series of four novels. Heroine, Stephanie Patrick (Blake Lively) is on a path of self-destruction after the death of her family in an airplane crash, a flight that she was meant to be on. After discovering that the crash was not an accident, her anger awakens a new sense of purpose and she rises to uncover the truth by adapting the identity of an assassin to track down those responsible. The new, and lethal, Stephanie Patrick is on a mission to fill the void between what she knows and what she is told. Other novels in Burnell’s popular series include “Gemini,” “The Third Woman” and “Chameleon.”

The movie leaves hulu blacklist one with deep respect for real EOD technicians, some who have pointed out factual errors and exaggerations in the movie, especially regarding the cavalier attitude toward safety that never occurs in the field. I can’t begin to understand the technical content, but I and all viewers have encountered the Sergeant James personality in our own worlds (e.g. some surgeons in the medical field I know). Journalist and screenwriter Mark Boal (who spent 2 weeks with a bomb squad in Iraq) and Director Kathryn Bigelow handle James’ zmovie character deftly. Just as James is looking predictably overpowering, he is suddenly the support person to Sergeant Sanborn (Anthony Mackie) who picks off snipers in an all-day mission. James infuriates Sanborn and Specialist Eldridge (Brian Geraghty) with shoot-from-the-hip behavior that is frightening to watch. But as is true in other settings, James’ invulnerability drives the success of the team by invoking anger instead of full appreciation of the life-threatening risks they face.
RépondreEffacerIn an abrupt cut to his mundane life back home, James looks overwhelmed for the first time while standing in front of long shelves of breakfast cereal in a grocery store. The viewer’s drop in adrenaline during this scene almost makes us understand what James is thinking. I missed this movie in the theaters and watched it now only to be informed. It was a pleasant surprise to find a relatable message in a world very few truly understand.
