The Tomorrow War (2021)
Action without cheese
Way better then expected. Solid story! Most action movies are cheesy but not this one. Well acted with some good emotional scenes in between. Also the duration is even when it more then 2hours perfect!
Camp X-Ray (2014)
Guantanamo Bay Resorts
X-Ray is a compelling story how to survive between a few white walls. While watching this movie you might let it slip your memory that none of the living rooms have a ocean view. Cole (Kristen Stewart) is taking the lead in this breathtaking story, she is a young well minded American woman from a very tiny almost invisible village. Knowing such little from the world while gifted with an academic degree Cole wants more in life and escaping her present life. Seeking for adventure Cole soon landed in Guantanamo Bay to serve and protect and above all giving life some more context.
When Cole starts her first round in Guantanamo prison bay she gets overwhelmed by the white unstained walls she finds in every single block.These spotless walls form such distraction that the focus on her main objective "prevent the detainees from suicide" almost fades away.
investigating one of this empty cell blocks with her fellow soldier they couldn't notice any substandard. Standing there with nothing to say they could only remark that the space felt narrow. After visiting the deserted cell Cole felt an emptiness inside of her and desired a some temptation. Her idea to fill this gap is to delay her staying in the wash-up until someone opens the door. When some average looking with bad attitude and a little desperate (for army standards) officer finally came in, Cole soon found out that this wasn't love at first sight. After throwing her self to this officer, the officer himself couldn't refuse this gesture and decided to give Cole some proper treatment when she wanted to leave the event. Here it becomes clear that female cadets always reach out to their male companion and abuse is something that doesn't exist. Getting abused is just a fairytale that a woman makes up to get attention while being in the army. If you reading the story this way how even is it possible to blame the officer.
When the end is near for Cole's favorite detainee and he gives a show that he wants to end his life Cole tries to hassle him out of it. But being a woman even with an academic degree she won't understand why any inmate in Guantanamo Bay wants to end his life. Even the inmate knows that she will never understand the feeling why someone would suicide between these white walls when your have nothing left to live for and feel humiliated more by the second. The reasoning about she doesn't understanding being an American being a woman or coming from a small village stays a cliffhanger and doesn't get revealed in the actual movie. Lets hope for a extended edition with the director's comments and not a sequel.
In this science fiction based story you find out that: Harry Potter can save lives Prisoners of the Guantanamo Bay Resort are all guests Females in the army always start the sexual harassment by themselves A woman/American/US army/? can't understand why some living being in Guantanamo Bay loses all hope of surviving
The movie seems to be funded by the military government of the USA and feels a bit like propaganda. A warning here is a place that this movie shouldn't be seeing without knowledgeable supervisors.
IMDb rating: **** stars for the resort and * star for the fairy tale.If you are looking for a good science fiction you better skip this one.
Android Cop (2014)
I want 90 minutes more
The CRT touch screen you see in this movie already says I might be cheap but doesn't mean I can be cool and awesome. Where the production is nothing like a Hollywood budget and the acting at the first minutes (and trailer) feels a little bit off this quickly turns around and make it a movie where even Hollywood actors and writers can learn from.
The acting lines are not over the top what you see in allot of low budgets films and to much in Hollywood films. The lines are very solid and well act. This lines only already makes the actors twice if not triple better in performing. This movie could be easily giving some depth which would result in more than 180 minutes of enjoyment in dialogue, action and adventure.
Where I watch allot of low budget movies just for fun I never expected this to see. I recommend this movie to everyone who want to see "Just a movie". You don't have to be afraid that it took 90 minutes of life.
This review doesn't tell you anything about the story since the Story line on the page covers the rest.
"A movie some writes can learn for, over the top is just over the top"
