Is Chris Hemsworth worth anything as an actor beyond his role as Thor in the Avengers saga? Like many actors,
he has become almost a prisoner of his iconic role and the rest of his filmography in recent years is not really to his advantage.
Like Chris Evans (Captain America) who multiplies projects like Defending Jacob, Chris Hemsworth takes risks. We examined the latest: Tyler Rake.
Chris Hemsworth's latest film is therefore devoured on the Netflix streaming platform. He plays a disillusioned mercenary who is responsible for
recovering the son of a drug lord. Of course, nothing will go as planned. He finds himself in the megalopolis of Dacca (Bangladesh),
trying to escape a very large part of the population, including the army and the police who are trying to catch him.
What is the result worth?
Honestly, with Tyler Rake, neither Netflix nor Chris Hemsworth takes any risks in terms of the script, as the latter feels warm. But, it is on the side of the realization that we discover more surprising things, with a rather well thought out use of flashbacks to develop the characters and especially an ability to play on violence which can sometimes be shocking. Certain scenes are clearly not intended for sensitive minds. If the outcome of the film is hardly in doubt, we will especially regret in the end the lengths which are often unnecessary, and which weigh on an acceptable overall copy.
Note however the very good performance of the young Rudhraksh Jaiswal who perfectly embodies a young man completely disoriented while his world is shattered. We will also salute the first result more than acceptable for the director Sam Hargraves, who manages to make his touch felt, with particularly effective sequence shots.
With Tyler Rake, Chris Hemsworth did not get his hands on the new role of his life despite an impressive athletic demonstration. But, in this period of confinement, you could find worse to see for 2 hours.
