Hitmen (2020)
Stretches credibility
The first issue I have is that the concept of violent women hitmen doesn't stand up to our common perceptions, and worse, it seriously isn't a subject for humour.
Hence the one-liner gags just fall flat.
Simply not funny.
It's a shame.
Both women are very talented; they just need to find the right scripts.
Bad Times at the El Royale (2018)
Not what is promised
I really don't know where to start.
What a waste of an excellent cast.
This film is garbage.
I held on, hoping for an allegory to become evident but ....... nothing.
Don't waste your time.
Safe House (2012)
Difficult
The broad theme and subject matter of the film are great but it is handled in an increasingly clumsy manner throughout, and in the end, we are left with the ambiguity of whether or not the main protagonists get together.
Upgrade (2018)
A great shame
This film had such great potential too!
The actors work hard with a poor script and their attempts to raise the film up are wasted.
Eddie the Eagle (2015)
"Can you give me a push, please?"
- only in Britain! *proud*
Swordfish (2001)
Another film .....
.... ruined by Vinnie. *sigh*
He REALLY is not the scary guy he thinks he is.
Aliens (1986)
Paul Reiser - Performance
Hats off to Paul Reiser for his brilliant portrayal of the ultimate corporate sleazebag!
I hated him right from the beginning!
Well done.
Alan Partridge: Welcome to the Places of My Life (2012)
Coogan
Steve Coogan is a comedy genius!
I hope he keeps Alan alive for a long time yet.
Legends of the Fall (1994)
Dreadful Film
Given the cast, I really wanted to enjoy this film, but:-
1. Anthony Hopkins is beginning to believe his own hype - over-acting here again.
2. Brad Pitt seems to believe that all he needs to do is look broody, engage in violence and then be seen to cry. (Hair is ridiculous, men did not go off around the world to "find themselves" in that period).
3. the native American Indian thing has been done (and much better eg: One Flew Over)
4. I have never seen a farmer work less hard - what gives?
5. Did the plot have to include all aspects of the history of the period - WW1, Prohibition, political corruption etc
6. what sort of confused plot was that??
