Wild Horses (2015)
Enjoyed the movie
Maybe I'm simple minded, but I enjoyed watching the movie. No it wasn't an "A" movie and never expected it to be. As for Robert Duval what can said that hasn't been said. Maybe, many of the critic don't like him, but he is one of the great actors of our time. Lots of things could have been put into the movie, sex, passionate love, shoot outs, more car chases, conflict, but no the movie had snippets of a man who has gotten his own way all his life with as little attachment as possible. The rules are his and he rules the roost. All the while his inner emotions longed control now must come out as his end in life nears. The weak side of the movie is the beginning and the why of it. Another weakness is character development. All in all, I enjoyed it, but cannot say it is a favorite.
Man from Reno (2014)
Highly underrated film
Saw this movie listed on Netflix. Well, clicked it, read the story line, not too sure, but what the heck I can turn it off. Wondered if it were a Japanese film? Seemed like a strange beginning, then bang the story begins. Let me say before going any further, the three leading actors were excellent. Their acting just took me into the story. I watched, listened and wondered where this story would go next. And it flowed and flowed and flowed. There was a mystery, another mystery upon mystery flowing toward the climax. My rating would have been higher, but for what I thought the ending had some questions that weren't answered. This film is well worth watching for its story line, acting, mystery and directing. It also demonstrates great films can be made without big stars and budgets. My rating is really 8.5.
