Vendetta (2013)
Good British Drama/Action Film
Forget all the Dyer haters out there...This is a very good film, end of! No spoilers, no plot line summary's just watch it and make up your own mind.It may not be a 9 out of 10 that I have given it but that is to try and counter balance against the keyboard warriors out there who just want to have a go because Danny Dyer is involved. If you like films like Layer Cake, Lock Stock etc. then you will enjoy this. It may not be an Oscar winner, you may think that the plot is a re-hash, that doesn't stop this from being a good film. Get over yourself, sit down and enjoy...and if it makes you reflect on the state of the criminal justice system in the UK and the state of "Bwroken Bwritain" then crack on me ol son!
Taken 2 (2012)
Poor. Such a shame
Just got back from seeing this film...Such a shame! Some really good actors, excellent characters, top names in all the right places and such a good first film to set this one up...And then someone's stepped up and said "Let's milk this for all we can!"
Like I said, the first one set this up so well, the chance to go deeper into the main characters. A believable plot line continuation, the opportunity to turn this into a really great franchise and ten minutes in you can tell the writers have been given a different agenda compared to the one you think you're going to watch. Sometimes, on the rare occasion, that can be an excellent. You love the new direction, the twists you could never have seen coming, the depth of the characters, their background, the world they're living in, a leading film in it's own right, something to make you want to watch the other one right away...Unfortunately this isn't one of those types. If you watch this one first you won't want to see the other one. And that is such a shame.
The first film is brilliant. This one is purely cashing in on that. A film like this should never be a 12 rating, that was done purely to increase the audience numbers and therefore the box office take...
And they had the cheek to show an advertisement saying that film piracy is killing the industry. This looks like suicide or at the very least death by misadventure...
