Mark may have been right in his complaint that Brad Pitt y Leo DiCaprio They monopolized the best scripts. And a restless guy like him can't wait for interpretations to come his way. So lately we see him more as a producer or in charge of new tasks on the other side of the cameras.
But maybe it's because Mark has become pessimistic. Because to his credit we find great films with an absolute leading role or embroidering complementary roles to a greater or lesser extent. The point is that his physiognomy is already differentiating and his know-how ends up complementing the stereotype of a good actor loaded with nuances on the threshold towards one characterization or another, as necessary for the production.
Nothing better for all this than a personal charge from the wild side of life. Because the young Wahlberg's background has something to do with it... And the creative aspects of humanity, at times tune in with opposites as marked as violence or self-destruction. But that would mean starting to wonder about other aspects. Now we go there with the best of Mark.
Top 3 recommended Mark Wahlberg movies
The incident
AVAILABLE HERE:I'm a big fan of suspense and science fiction entertainment movies. And this film surprised me with an old idea of nature capable of rebelling against human intervention. Nothing better for this than good air capable of upsetting us and setting us up towards self-destruction. A weapon that moves like a sinister current and from which Mark, his family and friends flee in search of a solution to stop such a current capable of transforming everything on the face of the Earth.
In a few minutes, in the main cities of the United States, strange and chilling deaths occur that escape all explanation. Elliot Moore (Wahlberg), a science teacher from Philadelphia, trying to avoid this mysterious and lethal phenomenon, heads to Pennsylvania with his wife (Deschanel), his friend Julian (Leguizamo) and his daughter; However, it soon becomes clear that nowhere is safe. But suddenly, Elliot begins to glimpse the true nature of what is happening...
Mark fits perfectly into the role of survivor of this type of finalist, almost apocalyptic proposals, transmitting to us that tension and the remote hope that human beings can still have a place in this world.
the fighter
