Danny Dyer talks About new movie Age of Heroes
May 22, 2011 By Joe Upton
AGE OF HEROES is a WWII action/thriller inspired by the real-life events of Ian Fleming’s 30 Commando Unit. In the film Sean Bean and Danny Dyer play soldiers on an elite mission, venturing into German occupied Norway to capture vital technology that has the potential to turn the tide of the war. To be frank the film is a pretty standard fare for a Dyer movie – if you like the guy and his style – you’ll probably enjoy it. This is what Dyer had to say on the matter:
Dyers observation of a truly British production is valid but it’s a doubled edged sword. One side you’ve got patriotism and best of British and the other you’ve got the small budget and slightly cheap TV movie feel to the piece as a whole. The budget was so tight that it limited the amount of boot camp training to a matter of days, meant they couldn’t afford to use proper blanks in the guns (although you’d never know) and has seen the movie only released in only six cinemas nation wide – much to Dyer’s annoyance.
As well as being a best of British production the film has also been doing it’s bit for charity to help raise money and support for ex-soldiers with special screenings around the country. The production itself also had a help for heroes vibe
AGE OF HEROES is a flat action movie – there are a couple nice scenes, and Dyer has a few great moments (practice on the firing range and subsequent punishment are both neat bits) but unfortunately a low budget meant theres no depth and it’s all a little hard to buy into – It is a strange blend of some great settings and efficient plot – mixed in with ones that try to be all emotive and Schindler’s Listy – but just come off as hammy sentiment that doesn’t really tug the heart strings. Overall AGE OF HEROES feelS a bit flimsy and even some of the action sequences are a little A-team-esque.
Despite the movie not being great – Danny Dyer is! He has a firm supporter in the THN camp. Thank you for your time Mr Dyer sorry about the verdict…but we are also look forward to some of your upcoming work – and perhaps a few performances that may just silence the critics.
Watch this space – part II of this interview is coming soon – Dyer talks Future Projects, Gillian Anderson and UFOs….
