On the Line (2022)
Any score over 3 is lying, stupid or a bot
I walked out on this half way, which was a first for me.
The premise is fine and with better direction, script, dialogue and acting it could have been okay.
Gibson did the best he could with what he had to work with. I think the other actors will be harshly judged for this mess but they were paid, so they can suck it up.
The script and dialogue was as awful as I've ever heard. It was insulting to keep hearing them bumble through an explanation of why they were doing what they were. The voice of the 'baddie' was pathetic, he wasn't menacing or maniacal - I've heard scarier train announcements.
But the direction and obvious holes in the script were the most painful thing to watch. From the start, anyone with a modicum of brains is asking why, how or WTF?
I hope the producers die destitute and the director is nailed to a cross through his fat head for releasing this rubbish.
Think of the worst movie you've ever seen, and I promise you'd prefer to watch it twice instead of this.
May God not have mercy on their souls.
Sicario: Day of the Soldado (2018)
Bloodthirst for morons
This has all the hallmarks of a sequel for the sake of making money. Similar cast but missing a key from the first (Emily Blunt), poor writing, plot holes you could drive a truck through, film filler and ridiculously unbelievable events (recognising Alejandro across the dark car park, shooting him through the cheek and no second shot, pulling the plug so quickly on the op, putting the girl into witness protection against orders) and then the farcical ending to set up another sequel.
The movie didn't even keep the theme consistent. Some good acting, good production, a few good action scenes and that's about it.
Watch it to satisfy your curiosity after the first movie but expect to be disappointed. How anyone scores this movie over a five is beyond me.
