Watch: Hyena 2014 123movies, Full Movie Online – Michael Logan is a police detective in London. His area is drugs and this brings him into contact with European drug syndicates. Logan is happy to turn a blind eye to their dealings, for a cut, or confiscate suppliers’ merchandise for their own profit. So far he and his equally-crooked police colleagues have done quite well out of this. Then a deal he was planning with a member of a Turkish drug cartel goes sour and the balance of power swings to an Albanian gang, run by two brothers, the Kabashis. Logan quickly aims to provide the Albanians with the same service he provided the Turks, but they aren’t easily lead. Meanwhile, he an his colleagues are being investigated by Internal Affairs. Just to make his life more complicated, he has been seconded to a vice task force, run by a former colleague whom he does not get along with..
Plot: Good policing doesn’t necessarily mean doing everything by the book. But as the business of crime in London turns to favour the Albanians and Turks, how does a “good” policeman survive?

Getting more blurry each minute
The movie is about the immigrant gangs consisting of Turks and Albanians and drug addicted cops, taking place in England. A so-called protector of the law, in the lead role, who is losing his sense of “ethics” gradually. It is a maze with trap within trap, an event triggering the other, this time even more complex. Being ‘Big John’ is disappearing in every second; It becomes then blurry who is protecting the law, and even makes you forget the definition of the law, in a pretty dark atmosphere.

Nicholas Winding Refn described the movie as the future of noir genre. Les Arcs owns the prize for the best actor in Edinburgh – also has two nominations for the best British film and Sitges best film.

Keeping British Cinema Alive
Review: If you’re fresh from watching other shoe-string, budget films from auteur-directors such as Loach, Leigh or Meadows, you can may be disappointed by Hyena’s lack of depth, knowledge of film-theory, and its inability to push the calibre of actors (such as Stephen Graham) to their potential. Nevertheless, the narrative is gripping and the film quickly drags you to hell with it.

Unrecognisable from his Nielson-esque portrayal in ‘Tony’; Ferdinando’s portrayal of bent-copper Michael is hugely exciting. The actor has a screen-presence that forgives some of the clumsier plot-devices and line-delivery, which often detract from the films strengths. Like Cimino and Cassavetes, the excellent use and direction of non- actors (mainly in the form of the Albanian-mafioso, antagonists), added the extra-dimension which ‘Hyena’ may have lacked otherwise. Elisa Lasowski’s performance is also superb throughout.

In terms of content, ‘Hyena’ should be commended for its unflinching look at the realities of modern London; policing, immigration and human trafficking. Equally in terms of form; for its long-takes, use of improvisation, realism, use of non-actors, powerful narrative and performances. Much like in ‘Tony’, Johnson’s thematic and aesthetic portrayal of big-city isolation, alienation, paranoia and nihilism through a dirty glass is palpable; and should be commended.

Both ‘Tony’ and ‘Hyena’ should have been given a lot more PR on its release, as well as the praise they deserves for its bravery and unflinching glance at a very modern London.
