Law Abiding Citizen (2009)
Citizen falls on his face before finish line
An engrossing beginning, followed by an intriguing middle.
However...
A useless, boring and asinine ending to what could have been a great film with a message.
What a waste.
The Flash (2014)
A roller-coaster in quality
Let's the good stuff out of the way: Pretty everything about season 1 was great (after a slow start, I'll admit) but the show took a sickening nosedive right off the bat in season 2.
What on earth happened?!? Your guess is as good as mine.
The scenes were more and more like something out of a badly written soap opera and, somehow, the cast's acting became tackier as well.
The show has replaced an interesting and captivating story with great plot twists with a god-awful, amateurish crap-fest full of cringe- worthy moments.
I am so disappointed, it saddens me...
Hitman: Agent 47 (2015)
You should watch the other one, seriously
This is a great, big, steaming pile of tripe on your plate, so make of it what you will. If you like it, I won't hold it against you. Personally, I thought it was insultingly stupid at times, at least when it wasn't completely screwing the original character over. When they started harpooning cars, I just threw my hands up and said: "I give up!" Please, no more of this. It. Was. Awful.
Mr. Friend, Mr. Kretschmann or Mr. Hinds aren't to blame. They delivered their parts with their usual professionalism. Mr. Quinto was okay too.
If you want to see a decent movie about Agent 47, watch "Hitman", starring Timothy Olyphant. That movie is much better and much 'closer to home', so to speak.
47 is an assassin, not a superhero, or even a hero, for that matter.
Just an assassin.
Max Manus (2008)
Excellent movie about resistance fighters in the North
Wonderful movie, I'd say.
I would have liked to have seen more of Max's experiences while he was fighting with the Finns against Russians. My grandfather and his brothers came back from that war broken, which even I, after decades had passed, could see.
Almost all Nordic countries were going 'under the boot' at that time, albeit from different sources. Denmark and Norway suffered from Germany's invasion and Finland suffered from Russia's. Although, they never bested us. :) The numbers were 10 Russians against 1 Finn at the worst times but still we prevailed. Oh, by the way, Stalin was even worse than Hitler. Most of the western world just doesn't know about it.
