The Recce (2018)
Slow, unrealistic and pointless
The only good part was being able, on Showmax, to skip through all the senseless slow-motion and repetitions, to be able to see if he makes it or not. One of the most pointless, unrealistic, boring and slow (literally, with all the slow-motion) so called movies I have ever seen. NOT what I would expect from a South African film. And definitely NOT something I as a veteran would consider a reflection of the war or to honor those who served in it, on all sides.
Backdraft 2 (2019)
Unrealistic
This film is about a fire investigator, but apparently they don't know what fire investigators do. So, for starters, a fire investigator works in a smouldering building with no respiratory protection or helmet ... NO, WE DON'T. A backdraft occurs with barely anything burnt in a flat ... WRONG. Touch evidence without gloves? Random dog "finds" clue? REALLY??? They could at least have hired an experienced fire investigator to advise them. Other than complete lack of realism, fair enough entertainment.
