Review of Imperium

Imperium (I) (2016)
The (skinny) boy who lived....

I watched this movie because I was curious how Radcliffe would look and perform in a non-Potterish-environment. Well, in my opinion he was the wrong cast. To get inside a white supremacist group, his character pretends to be a former marine who just came back from Iraq. Unfortunately, Radcliffe looks as if he'd never seen a gym even from outside and certainly not like an ex-marine at all. Actually he looks as if he'd just finished high school. His undercover story looks totally implausible though right from the beginning and the fact that nearly all of his new 'comrades' couldn't figure that out made it hard for me to watch the movie until its end. Imho it is neither a good character study nor a convincing portrayal of right-wing extremists nor notably thrilling. No rating. Better watch "Betrayed" (1988).
