The Last Duel (2021)
Decent Watch, Could Be Better
Good story here but it could have been so much better. I'll start with the positives... Ridley Scott knows what he's doing behind a camera. Great visuals and a great score. Brutal battle sequences and nuanced characters round out the good with this film.
Now for the bad... Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and Adam Driver have zero talent when it comes to accents. Every time they spoke, I had to remind myself that they are supposed to be French and not from French Lick, Indiana. There performances were actually strong but their accents or lack of accents took me out of the movie a little bit every time they spoke. The movie also gets a little repetitive as it recounts the same story 3 times from 3 different perspectives. And lastly, they dropped the ball with a dull ending. There was an opportunity to give a reveal to Jodie Comer's internal dilemma but instead they played it safe and just ended the movie.
Youngstown (2021)
Dumbest Movie I've Ever Seen
The plot is pathetically bad and yet somehow the dialogue is even worse. There is no point to this movie other than to say, hey look we're in Youngstown, Ohio. If you look at the crew list, you'll see the director is the same person who shot the movie. He clearly spent all of his time on his cinematography and zero time on actual direction. Just a complete waste of time and stinker of a movie.
