He led India's fightback and his efforts went a long way in bowling out Australia for 191 in the first innings giving the visitors a vital 53-run leadThere is a reason this Gerard Butler action flick might be a game changer for the Scottish one man army. In Greenland it is true that he cracks heads, takes a beating and does rugged resilience better than some actors half his age. Where this erstwhile disaster movie turns left instead of a predictable right however is in its use of tone. Character beats, plot and structure might be quickly established, but it’s in the way things morph over a lean two hours that makes the difference.
A convincing Morena Baccarin plays Allison Garrity to Gerard Butler’s John in a role which on first impressions feels one note. However, what director Ric Roman Waugh does is give Allison backbone, a resourceful streak and sass by the sack load. When the pivotal plot point kicks in bang on fifteen minutes Earth is facing an extinction level event, the Garrity’s are alone in being handpicked for survival and their neighbours are pissed.
Quickly Greenland turns from family drama into survival thriller taking a leaf or two from World War Z in the process. As a companion piece to this Gerard Butler left field launch there are few films which fit the bill better. Purely because in both cases their leading men took a risk and went for the dramatically interesting, rather than tried and tested route. As a result of that decision Gerard Butler adds depth, breadth and humanity keeping audiences on side throughout.
John Garrity is an everyman who is simply trying to keep his family safe and survive something life threatening. A fast and loose use of steady cam at pivotal moments, coupled with a descent into public anarchy imbues their situation with a sense of foreboding. News reports serve as a constant reminder of the escalating peril, whilst family separation and human self-interest ramp up tensions. Greenland is clever to explore that selfish and devious dimension in others without making it feel like an obvious plot device. There are clichéd moments and dynamic set pieces but it is in the quiet moments that this film excels.
Stripping Gerard Butler of his trademark quips and impregnable demeanour grounds everything. Audiences empathise, drama gains credence and most importantly Greenland will have fans re-evaluating. It is hard not to see parallels here between the current global pandemic and an ever increasing sense of paranoia reflected in this movie. There is a distinct discourse contained within the subtext which passes comment on social strata, financial status and human weakness.
Violence when it happens is shocking, short lived and comes with psychological repercussions. Even the conventional last minute escapes feel hard fought and more plausible. John Garrity bleeds, burns and regrets his actions which only makes Gerard Butler better. In the latter parts of Greenland audiences encounter Scott Glenn playing grizzled world weary father Dale to Morena Baccarin’s Allison and things kick up another notch.
He brings to the table an innate gravitas from decades of playing authority figures and does wiry machismo effortlessly. His scenes opposite Gerard Butler are a masterclass in understatement and emotional restraint in which both men shine. Although his role is only small Scott Glenn makes it memorable with measured words of wisdom and flashes of backstory. That he is able to weave in a little pathos for good luck says more about this actor and his abilities than any number of superlatives.
As Greenland builds to a finale and the muted meteor showers, crash landed prop planes and government sirens take centre stage, Ric Roman Waugh pulls off another trick. By employing flashbacks with visual eloquence and selective silences this film subtlety becomes a character study. Gone are the pyrotechnics, examples of human desperation and family drama to be replaced by something more subdued. Huddled in the darkness with an occasional flash of emergency lighting are the Garrity family. What follows are home movies, birthday celebrations and sun dappled first encounters as if their life were one long sizzle reel. There is a beauty in the ambiguity of these cinematic choices, which need to be experienced not merely read then disregarded. This is reminiscent of World War Z in its final moments which was both transparently earnest and emotionally on point.
If Gerard Butler intended to change perceptions, explore dramatic tangents and reinvent himself without discarding his action man roots he has achieved that and more. Greenland is an example of cinematic alchemy which happens all too rarely. Matthew McConaughey managed something similar with a run of films which included Mud, Magic Mike and Interstellar. With Greenland we are not in Oscar territory yet but it certainly displays a renaissance of sorts. With the Scottish character actor on this sort of form anything could be possible.
