Departed,in my top 9/10.

Watched this for the 3rd time last Friday, excellent. 

[Mr Allen]

New Mortal Kombat (2021) 8/10 so far.

 

 

[Funky_Gibbon]

Deliver Us From Evil (2020) - 6.5/10

 

An hitman on the verge of retirement travels to Thailand to try and locate a kidnapped child. Sort of like Taken but with a South Korean twist.

Sound of Metal   9/10

 

A drummer in a metal band starts to lose his hearing and has to make difficult decisions about his future.

Really great thought provoking film, with a title that I thought was a bit naff before I watched it, but now makes perfect sense.

Riz Ahmed is a fantastic actor, (I thoroughly recommend ’The Night of...’ if you haven’t seen it.)

[Mr Allen]

Star Trek III: The Search For Spock 8/10.

 

One of the best of the original 6 Star Trek movies IMO, starring all of the original crew including Bill Shatner and the late Leonard Nimoy.

Great suggestion.

Wrath of Man

7/10

 

A Guy Ritchie film starring Jason Stratham, doing what he does best- killing people.

 

This time around he is after a security van heist gang, who happened to have got too personal. 

 

Nothing compares to Heat, but the shootout at the security depot, is done well.

Tom Clancy's Without Remorse  - 5/10

(Amazon Prime)

 

Firstly, this is Without Remorse (the novel) in the same way that Brad Pitt's World War Z is the same as Max Brook's novel - they share a title, maybe a few character names and a very basic concept but apart from that there is nothing remotely similar about them and the film is all the worse for it because the novel Without Remorse is excellent and I've been waiting 25 years for someone to film it.

 

Instead we get this generic geopolitical action thriller with a silly plot, phoned-in acting and some confusing direction in what they clearly hope will become the start of a Rainbow Six franchise.

 

It's not a terrible film and has some decent action and maybe someone who is less invested in the character and who isn't so disappointed about the waste of a good story will rate it higher but that someone isn't me.

I'm not invested in the characters at all, but sadly I can't rate it any higher.

 

I even read Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six, several years ago mind you, and I thought it was alright, but I couldn't see what all the fuss was about.

 

Anyway, the action scenes of Without Remorse were very good but the rest of the acting didn't grip me at all and I was really turned off by the home invasion at the start of the film.  That was disturbing.  I know I'm not supposed to like it, and I'm not away giving any spoilers, but that was just gratuitous.  Did the baddies have to . . . y'know, do what they did?

 

Judging by all the political nonsense that was shoehorned into the film between the action scenes, it look the Russkies are now our enemies again.  Yippee.

 

 Yes, it looks like we're being set up for plenty more sequels . . .

Nobody   8.5/10

 

This movie is 90 mins pure adrenaline..a proper old school action film with shooting galore.

 

A quiet family man who leads a very mundane life, who appears to have no ambition or connection with his family- awakens his 'inner self' when he happens to cross paths with the Russian mob.

If Liam Neeson's Taken series of films is the cinematic equivalent of The Bourne Retirement, then I guess Mr Nobody takes the title of The Bourne Midlife Crisis.

American made 6/10,worth watching on Saturday night when rest of tv is garbage.

About a pilot who smuggles cocain into America.

The Woman In The Window - 6.5/10

 

A woman with agoraphobia spends her evenings watching her neighbours in their homes and witnesses an act of violence. Psychological thriller starting Amy Adams, Gary Oldman and Julianne Moore.

 

A bit derivative of other films perhaps but entertaining enough.
