The acting is so bad yet it's a classic

Was fun. Noomi

This Revenge .....

Yup, was referring more to B-Movie sex horror revenge. Brutal payback / schadenfreude

NZB ?

 

[dualmeister]

Yes. Also found many on the high seas.

M.F.A. (2017) 6 / 10
More female revenge. Female lead is stronger than most.

I'll keep hunting, the high seas let me down.

Doesn't help when the title is too short for a search...

Some Swedish Sci-fi. Pretty depressing.

 

[FiestaST]

Smokin' Aces (2006) 7/10

Pretty enjoyable but at the same time just lots going on. Some Tarantino vibes.

High seas?

My Alien Girlfriend (2019) - 1/10

 

[FiestaST]

Stockholm (2018) 6.5/10

Above average dark comedy/hostage thriller. Starts off fine & loses a bit of sizzle along the way.

 

[WaxLyrical]

Midsommar - 7/10 - Unsettling but also self indulgent.

 

[MrsWestcot]

El Camino - A breaking bad movie (2019) - 5/10 - Instead of feeling like a movie, it felt like an extra episode. Just the conclusion of the story. I expected more. But certainly a must watch for fans of the series.

Extreme Job (2019) 7 / 10

Geukhanjikeob (2019) - IMDb

Geukhanjikeob: Directed by Byeong-heon Lee. With Seung-ryong Ryu, Lee Hanee, Jin Seon-kyu, Dong-hwi Lee. A police undercover operation takes a delicious, unexpected turn.

I was expecting it to really suck but turned out a pretty decent popcorn horror. I didn't know Richard Chamberlain was still alive lol Similar to series such as Masters of Horror with 5 different short stories.

The Highwaymen (2019) 6.5/10
Entertaining Netflix movie starring Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson as the Texas Rangers who took down Bonnie and Clyde. Pretty graphic but the movie still feels like the typical Netflix movie (somewhat made for TV-ish). It's more accurate (from what I read about Bonnie and Clyde after) than the Faye Dunaway \ Warren Beatty movie).

The Huntress - Rune of the Dead (2019) 7/10
Swedish horror-suspense movie set in Viking times that delivers some solid tension and atmosphere until faltering a bit at the end. Still enjoyable overall.

The Death of Dick Long (2019) 6.5/10
Indie black comedy...worth a watch if you're in the mood for something low-key.
