Acceleration (2019)
B grade movie with B grade actor
As much as people watch Dolph Lundgren, and he starred in Rocky et al, IMHO he remains a B grade actor and his movie choice here is no exception: ie: a poor one. And yet another victim scenario where they have no choice but to follow some scripted and contrived actions. Oh dear...
Peppermint (2018)
A great movie. Some tighter editing would have nailed it!
I'm a big fan of the hero/heroine seeking justice dramas.
This was no exception and a great movie.
However, many scenes were laboured and much tighter editing was needed to keep it moving at the pace required for this genre. I had to skip ahead many times. It was a case of: yeah ok ... I get the point .... moving on ... next ...
Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning (2012)
The laboured and contrived and naïve direction of the opening scene was all I could manage
I'm afraid this review title says it all. It just seems naïve and over-worked and a portent for things to come. Granted, I didn't watch the whole movie but when you start groaning during the opening scene, it's time to move on.
Vengeance (2018)
Not even Vinnie Jones could save this
I saw some bad reviews and thought: "oh well, Vinnie Jones is in it so it can't be that bad". Well, it was that bad. Plastic over-acting, totally naïve direction and from a special forces / tactical point of view: totally laughable. I only managed to last about 10 minutes ....
Clear and Present Danger (1994)
Great movie but who hired Willem Dafoe?
This movie is pretty good. Except they hired Willem Dafoe. WTF were they thinking? He is associated with every B rated movie out there and sadly it shows ...
Greenland (2020)
It started plausibly and went downhill from there...
The whole plot was manufactured around creating dramatic moments that in fact were naïve and formulaic. From the insulin to the neighbours etc. This is puke inducing, paint by numbers, screen fluff. This is unfortunate because otherwise he is a great actor... I watched the first half with positive emotions and then had to kill it.
