Skiptrace (2016) - 3/10

I'm not sure if this is AsiaTrip or Jackie Chan's encore, but the man is getting old and looks tired. Nobody is particularly likeable, the story is all over the place and tried to hard at times to be comical. Furthermore it kinda feels like they shot a random bunch of scenes and mashed then together.

Free State of Jones. 7/10. Powerhouse from MM but story starts to drag. Long and brutal.

Oh man, sounds like Drive all over again.
Drive actually wasn't bad, but this dudes other stuff is all shyte.
Maybe the soundtrack and actors helped but he seems to want to do off the wall arty stuff and it just doesn't work in our commercial driven modern cinema.

I'm on mobile so I'm probably missing the Comic Sans this post was written in.

Meant to convey that it's a polarising film.

I liked Drive but watched it first at a friend's place who got bored and turnt it off. I was outnumbered three to one. Asked for a copy and watched it later on alone.

That's the one. The one where Ryan Gosling looks at things.

I think it was misguidedly advertised as a gangster revenge movie when it was more of an arthouse film. If people knew what to expect when they began to watch it their expectations wouldn't have been let down. Anyway I really liked it.

I need to give it another watch but man did I hate it when I saw it.
