Kill List (2011)

This was good enough...I give it a 6. Ultra-violence and ambiguity don't do it for me in general but the atmospherics are solid.

Snowden (2016) 7.5/10

Really enjoy this. The story is really well told. Running time 2h14min but still remains captivating & downright interesting.

Oliver Stone actually travelled to Moscow a few times to meet the real Edward Snowden & gain insight into his story.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt was properly convincing & all-round excellent; this bloke is on a role.

Even Shailene Woodley looked good.

I will be very very surprised if this does not notch a few Oscar nominations come Oscar fever time & hopefully win a few.

The current IMDB score is 7.4 & that is a notch too low imo.

/oh yes....**** the/tha NSA!

I'm going to assume it is from Snowden's point of view (his story type of thing)?

More like from Oliver Stone's point of view.

A pretty entertaining watch. Believable performances all round. But felt like they were trying a different spin on Wolf of Wall Street which was an all time great.
Nice one to pass almost 2 hours on.
A gun blazing 7/10 from me

The Infiltrator (2016) 6.5/10

Interesting story & setup. My main gripe is that is feels like it drags on a fair deal.

Didn't feel the drag at all. Thought it was great.

Have you watched Donnie Brasco?

Similar plot.

Nope; missed that one. Better response given as well. Methinks worth adding to my dl list.

One of Johnny Depp's best turns. Need to revisit as well. It's been yonks.

Old but excellent watch especially in Ultra HD. Throughly enjoyed it. Much better than The Hunger Games rubbish.
7 adrenaline fueled stars from me. Loses one star because of that dude with the weird permanently raised eyebrows who just freaks me out.
