2009 parece ter sido o ano de grandes diretores que, consagrados, permitiram-se mergulhar em seus estilos e, apesar das acusações de autoindulgência, realizaram grandes filmes transbordando em suas respectivas idiossincrasias: Los Abrazos Rotos, Inglorious Baterds, por exemplo, e The Limits of Control de Jim Jarmusch.

The location shoot there united the writer/director with acclaimed cinematographer Christopher Doyle ("In the Mood for Love," "Paranoid Park"). Isaach De Bankole stars in the lead role for Mr. Jarmusch; this marks the duo's fourth collaboration over nearly two decades, following "Night on Earth," "Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai," and "Coffee and Cigarettes." The film also features several other actors with whom Mr. Jarmusch has previously worked, including Alex Descas, John Hurt, Youki Kudoh, Bill Murray, and Tilda Swinton; and actors new to his films, including Hiam Abbass, Gael García Bernal, Paz De La Huerta, Jean-François Stevenín, and Luis Tosar. "The Limits of Control" is the story of a mysterious loner (played by Mr. De Bankole), a stranger, whose activities remain meticulously outside the law. He is in the process of completing a job, yet he trusts no one, and his objectives are not initially divulged. His journey, paradoxically both intently focused and dreamlike, takes him not only across Spain but also through his own consciousness.... (more)(less)

Jarmusch goes deep into the arthouse cinema. Lone Man, acted by great french actor Isaach De Bankolé, is a assassin who is always in control of his life. Then on a mission he meets various people and entounters situations where art (in some form) is present. In the end he strangles an american business man (representing greed) with a guitar string. Movie isn't subtle with its message but the movie works. Movie was great fun but it asks a lot from it's viewer. "

Eleetön ja paljon toistoa sisältävä elokuva, joka kuitenkin onnistuu pitämään otteessansa. Päähenkilö jää suurinpiirtein täydeksi mysteeriksi, kuin myös koko ajan toistetut repliikit. Silloin tällöin jatkuvat saman toistot, tosin alkavat puuduttaa ja syömään elokuvan tehoa, mutta toisaalta taasen elokuvan voima koostuu juuri noista elementeistä, joten uusintakatelun voisi suorittaa ja katsoa sitten antaako kaksi vai neljä tähteä."

Ei ollut ihan odotettua tylsyyskuolemaa. Enemmänkin sellainen ihan ok-tason fiilistely, joka kaatuu yliyrittämiseen ja mukajärkeilyyn - katsokaa nyt vaikka se Tilda Swintonin kohtaus niin tajuatte mitä tarkoitan. Hidastukset eivät toimi, mutta Christopher Doylen kuvaus on muuten ihan komeaa ja Paz De La Huertaa oli mukava nähdä. "
