5 most underrated movies of 2013

Most people tend to go along with what established critics say, a review can change how well a film is received and the amount of people who go out of their way to watch it. This means a lot of films are overlooked and quite frankly are more harshly reviewed than they deserve. Here is 10 films that were given awful reception but deserved a lot more.

Dead man Down
Although the array of cast is admirable it's a strange concoction of different genres that has given this film such a bad reception. Although it's not the best film ever made it's received a lot of criticism because the theme, tone and story isn't a straightforward template compared to many other films. A lot of reviews complained it was too muddled and confusing but in all honestly, although it's a difficult film to describe it's not a difficult to watch. It deserve to be remembered as a fascinating example of what can happen when a film has too many ideas but it treats the audience to a flurry of concepts. It's funny and strange but thats what makes it refreshing in the mist of Hollywood.

The Family
Its baffling why this film was so badly received. The Family stars Robert De Niro as a former Mafioso in witness protection, trying to fit in for the sake of a family. It never said it was going to be the number 1 comedy of the year but it was a lot more funnier and sweeter than most reviewers gave it credit for. The action and story was pretty standard and crowd pleasing, it's not going to go down in history but it's a lot better than  most comedy's that were released in 2013.

Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters

The problem with this film is critics took it way too seriously. The film itself took a light hearted approach and they even picked fun at them selfs but this seemed lost of reviewers. The 2 leads, Gemma Arteton and Jeremy Renner were charming and brought a good sense lightness to a dark chapter in human history. The CGI was impressive enough and the action sequences were pleasing, the story lacked but it was very harshly received by critics who seemed to miss the point of the film.

Now You See Me
Although the film received an impressive $117 million at box-office the film suffered a lot of criticism for it's disbelief and mostly because of the casts performance. Personally, i found the cast to be quite likable and more than capable to handle the characters they were playing, giving a sense of unique humour particularly Eisenberg's character. The twists and turns made for a good thriller although the last big twist, although surprising, seemed really far fetched and that's possibly why it received bad criticism, although most reviews seemed judgmental and cranky

Last Vegas
Last Vegas is everything a contemporary studio movie is supposed not to be: a bunch of well-past-their-prime actors aimlessly and formulaically drifting around Sin City in a weekend free of call girls, sensational gross-out scenes, or buzzy stunt casting. And for all those reasons, it is a delight. It is impossible not to love just hanging out in the presence of four great stars like Robert De Niro, Michael Douglas, Morgan Freeman, and Kevin Kline. Predictable though the plot may be, its surprise comes in just how much emotional depth comes from these lions of the screen genuinely grappling with aging and facing the sunset of their lives. Not to mention, whatever age he is, Kline's comic timing remains a precision-guided missile
