Rate The Last Film You've Seen With Marks Out Of Ten - Part Two

[Rockers rule]

The Meg 2018

 

Bit reluctant to watch this Sci Fi Action film. Can the original Jaws ever be beaten?

HTSBO chose this. I'm never sure about the whole big fish thing, Giant Piranha's, swamp monsters or Godzilla, etc.

Got to admit this wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be - in fact it wasn't bad at all.

Loved all the 'Supercar' type submersibles (more Gerry Anderson than Lamborghini) and the almost constant action made the film.

Bit of slushy romance stuff going on in there as well.

All in All a pretty good film, very much an up dated 'Jaw's' but well done and enjoyable. (& a second one in the pipe line)

 

8/10 

 

My Choice next - lol

In The Line Of Duty  - 7/10

 

The Aaron Eckhart/Netflix film, not the Clint Eastwood/John Malkovich one.

 

Beat cop races against time to find a kidnapped girl whilst being live streamed by some millennial wannabe Youtuber (or Twitch or whatever). Silly concept, swings between being a comedy and a surprising violent action film without a pause and I lost a lot of sympathy for the live streamer when her friend turned out to be a  anti-vaxxer but overall an entertaining bit of nonsense.

Greyhound - 8/10

 

Adapted from the C.S. Forester book 'The Good Shepherd' by Tom Hanks. The story of a WW2 merchant convoy led and protected by the USS Greyhound sailing across the part of the Atlantic where there was no air cover and coming under attack from a German U-boat Wolf Pack.

 

Tense and action-packed, enjoyed this one a lot.

Brain on Fire - 7.5/10

 

Well acted film about a really interesting subject.

The true story of Susanna Callahan, Chloe Moretz plays a successful young woman whose life is taken over by a misdiagnosed mental illness.  It’s only when she hits rock bottom that a professor discovers it’s something completely different. 

My only criticism is I’d have liked the film to have shown more of her recovery. 

Another book to add to my shopping list I think!

The Old Guard   7.5/10

 

Very enjoyable Netflix film starring CharlizTheron - who leads a small group of immortals.

 

A CIA security head decides to collaborate with a twisted drug company CEO, who wants to extract their DNA to create a new drug.
