The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman
Rupert Grint’s Rave Reviews for The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman
“The best part about Charlie Countryman is the cast, and it’s great to see that Fredrik Bond can get strong performances out of his actors in addition to a sleek visual style.”
“Rupert Grint shows up in a small comedic role, and let’s just say his female Harry Potter fans will probably find his brief screentime amusing.”
“The biggest plus in the movie is the intense passion all actors show in the roles involved. They portray characters like you would encounter in Eastern European hardcore romance literature; living life deep and intense, with no time to look back, and where dying seems to be a naturally good alternative if you don’t get what you’re aiming for…the love of your life.”
“In fact, all parties involved. A refreshing mixture of languages, a hilarious turn by Ron-from-Harry-Potter as anti-Ron-from-Harry-Potter.”
“Harry Potter alumnus Rupert Grint plays a small but perfectly formed part in Fredrik Bond’s excellent and at times uproarious The Necessary Death Of Charlie Countryman…”
“[t]hat Grint plays a wannabe porn star named Boris Pecker is just one of the many delights of a gripping, violent film that owes an unabashed debt to the Tarantino-penned love-in-low-places story True Romance.”
“Charlie’s two hostel-mates are played by Rupert Grint and James Buckley, and they have some decent comic timing. Indeed, the only part of the movie where I wasn’t softly moaning “Uggghhh” and “Hellllp” and “Pleeeease end” were when the two were zinging against a bad guy who was threatening them.”
“The only time he [Shia] really seems to stretch is during an extended sequence where he’s under the influence of Carpathian ecstasy, supplied by a couple of English tourists- one of whom is Rupert Grint, who shakes off his HARRY POTTER image in one scene where he od’s on Viagra while auditioning for porn. What would Dumbledore think?”
“In one of his first major roles since the Harry Potter franchise, Rupert Grint again finds himself in a trio of friends, but this time as a fellow traveler attempting to follow his dream: to be a porn star. A far cry from Ron Weasley’s days at Hogwarts.”
“Throw in funny supporting roles by James Buckley (The Inbetweeners) and Rupert Grint (Harry Potter) as Charlie’s new friends, a crazy electronic soundtrack and Bond’s kinetic visuals and The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman is a totally pointless, vapid…really fun film to watch.”
“The only time he really seems to stretch is during an extended sequence where he’s under the influence of Carpathian ecstasy, supplied by a couple of English tourists- one of whom is Rupert Grint, who shakes off his HARRY POTTER image in one scene where he od’s on Viagra while auditioning for porn.”
“Drugs come into play even more when Charlie meets Luke (James Buckley) and Carl (Rupert Grint) at a Bucharest hostel. Grint, who played Ron in the Harry Potter series, takes the unexpected role of a bloke in Bucharest who does ecstasy and aspires to become a porn star.”
“If you want to see some cool visual effects, Rupert Grint get stoned and Shia LaBeouf get punched in the face repeatedly, this is the film for you.”
“and one presumes Grint was looking for a role that let him be very different than the way audiences have perceived him for a decade, and he found one.”
“The film is simply funny in many moments and despite the aforementioned narrative shortcomings it is mainly witty and entertaining. One of the reasons is an amazingly against-the-grain cast Rupert Grint, who causes most laughs within the film in a supporting role as drug-addicted guy, who intends to become successful as a pornstar by the name of Boris Pecker.”
“However, the acting was brilliant. Rupert Grint and James Buckley were wonderful in their new roles as drug-fueled teenagers, and Til Schweiger, despite being only a small part, was wonderfully scary.”
“Only Rupert Grint is convincing in his role as Charlie’s good friend and leaves behind a likeable impression.”
