Next superproduction from Mack Dawg Productions, this time mysteriously entitled From with Love. Film lasts 46 minutes. The beginning of the film is a very long intro, in comparison to previous films, in which main actors are presented. It is of course a strict world snowboard lead. Intro, which introduces us into the climate of this film is quite interesting, for sure better than many others I've seen before. There is a little of riding here, creators focused their attention mainly on presenting particular characteres. Intro lasts over 3 minutes- it isn't very long but this time draged very much for me. In this film we can see almost everything. There is a lot of jibbing (street), tricks turned on a very big jumps, a little bit of freeride, and there are also some extreme tricks. My first conclusions just after I've watched this movie are that there is a lot of backflips and frontflips here, even double backfilp appeared here. It is conspicuous because in previous films there weren't so many such tricks. Film surprises us with very impressive scenes, excellent close-ups and generally excellent montage and the quality. These scenes cause, that we can feel that we are just making these tricks or that we are looking at it standing very close. So we can't find any fault with film- makers, and generally there is nothing we could find fault with- maybe except the mucic which, in my opinion, doesn't fit this film. It is a liitle bit badly matched, it doesn't unleash the power and it doesn't cause this feeling that you just want to take your snowboard and go somewhere to ride.
Places and jumps on which riders were making their tricks are really impressive, they just take the breath away. I haven't expected that human imagine can reach so far. It looked impressive when they were making their tricks on three big jumps, which were placed in one line, with small intervals..... or tricks on several metres high quarter. In this film there were also many scenes with falls, some of them looked really dangerously and they were painful for sure. "From with Love" is a hard riding just from the first minutes till the end. These 46 minutes of hard ride on the highest level gives a big pleasure. Summarizing- for sure it isn't the best film I've ever seen, and it isn't even one of the best films produced by Mack Dawg but it is worth seeing, even for these backflips. You can take the trailer below.
