The Last Castle (2001)
Silly Plot that's just unrealistic. If you can treat it like a fantasy movie it's ok.
The plot is just silly and it's really hard to overlook the impossibility of the story. It's NOTHING like prison; I guess because it's a military prison we are supposed to give it some leeway...I guess, but it's NOTHING like State Prison.
What the inmates have access to is just not believable. Ok, it's an action movie and we usually overlook feats of super human abilities, so I can deal with that, but I can't deal with kumbaya in any prison setting.
The beginning and middle are acceptable B movie content, but the ending is atrocious and barely beats out "The Toxic Avenger" or any other crap from "Up all Night with Gilbert Godfrey".
Don't waste your time.
OtherLife (2017)
Pretty Terrible & I'm a Sci-Fi lover.
I love Science Fiction movies and I'm usually willing to put up with mediocre character development, and plot holes, but in this case I was so frustrated that I fast forwarded some parts of the movie. This should have been condensed into an hour long black mirror episode. The cinematography and acting was decent, it was the plot, characters, and pointlessly long scenes that annoyed me. The "twist" wasn't really a twist, it's what you expected to happen throughout the movie. I didn't bond with the characters; the only character I actually had feelings about was Sam and I obviously disliked him. The father was pointless; the lover, Danny, was pointless. The brother was only important to the story, I didn't care about his well being. I'm probably being harder on this film that I normally would, but that's because it had the potential to be awesome...instead.....I'm taking the time to warn you not to waste your time.
