Now it's easy to see why this movie has meant so much for the crew of Fox Way Studios. Since it's the ultimate showcase of everything they've learnt from gorilla filmmaking -- Forming a narrative that has all our favorite ingredients from the films of Antton Nikula (Tony Cole). The opening that directly makes an homage to the classic "Escape from New York" lets us all know that we're in for a special event. It prepares our minds and sharpens our focus, and trust me, you will wanna buckle in. The movie tells the story of some crooks who are able to snatch the ''invaluable'' Iridescent, described to be the most breathtaking object in the world. The post-heist celebration doesn't last long as obstacles reveal themselves, causing the ensemble cast of the FWS Hall of Fame to take part of a race in which the winner gets to keep stolen Iridescent.
Now this movie is a riot of fun. It's telling that every scene is calculated and worked on carefully to accurately represent the vision that Nikula's been developing since he was 11 years old. Shorts like "Made in Jacobtown" and "Nicholson" offered hysterical laughs while "Jack Stone" and "George Whitebrooke" has offered us the exciting action and adventure -- Here you see the best of both worlds meet and it's beautifully balanced. The script is sharp with multi-layered characters across the board. It's tricky to predict who'll make it through until the end, since the stakes are placed on a high level early on. Antton and the friends at Fox Way remind us of the fun we can have and the everlasting memories that can be encapsulated through the world of films. I think we'll be revisiting this one in the future and appreciate newly found details. Highly recommended, The Iridescent is truly to behold!
