Heartless


Heartless is a British movie that centres around Jamie Morgan, a young photographer with a large heart-shaped birthmark on his face, who - after discovering that there are demons on the streets of East London - strikes a pact with the Devil. Directed by Philip Ridley and released on 2009, the main characters are played by Jim Sturgess, Clémence Poésy and Noel Clarke.


This movie is actually interesting to watch, specially because of it's make up. Nearly all the make up pieces that are shown in it are exceptionally well done, starting with the heart-shaped birthmark on the main character and ending with the devil's appearance. It's startling and spectacular.

Unfortunately the acting of the main character could be a lot better, although he's bearable. Noel Clarke does a fine work, as do the mother and the devil. The little Hindu girl is also talented. Yet the main character's nephew is the worst by far.

Another flaw in this rather interesting movie is - pitifully the plot. It has more holes in it than a strainer, and can be very confusing if not paying a lot of attention. The appearance of the Devil is the most confusing part. And the ending is a little bit sudden and a little bit disappointing.


That'd be it. I think is very interesting and the make up should be checked up. If you start watching it, I think you'll be compelled to watch it 'till the end, which won't be a complete waste of your time.
