Movie Mini-Review Thread - Part III

[Ecco]

Found something I haven't watched. Watching Good Fellas

After that watch Casino if you haven't watched it. Really good too. Similar plot different circumstances.

 

[Herr der Verboten]

It's such a good film. Enjoy!

Only problem with the bar thus high after finishing it... more flicks to be even more crappier.

Will do.

The Gray Man (2022) 6.5/10

High energy action thriller, a few truly OTT moments. Some of the dialogue was cringy, generic feeling story.
Core cast worked well. Enjoyed the Prague setting.

Lots of Audi product placements (e-tron GT, Q4 e-tron, RS7, R8).

Fun fact:

The movie's $200 million budget makes it, as of 2021, the most expensive Netflix original movie, tied with Red Notice (2021).

Then after that watch The Godfather and The Sopranos thereafter you will be a “made man”.

Thank goodness they didn't cast Reynolds in this.

Casino is up there with Goodfellas

And if you haven't had enough after all those, there's Once Upon A Time In America ( 3h 49m )

The Gray man 7.5/10

The Black Phone 5.5/10

Crimes of the future 2.5/10 The 2.5 is for the boobs

The Gray Man: 5/10 - 45 mins in, and its not looking promising for me. Maybe i change my review once its finished.

It's an action movie, not a porn movie.

Maybe the extra Ana de Armas scenes may lead to a happy ending

Dr Strange and the multiverse of madness 7/10
Not sure why the hate for this. Thought it was fairly decent.

The lost city - 5.5/10
Somewhere right on the edge of "I am sorry I watched this" and "OK that was mildly entertaining". Main redeeming feature was Daniel Radcliff. Different role for him and he did it well.

The Platform (2019) : 7/10
Great idea, but some of the execution could have been better.

Watcher (2022) - 6.5/10. Effective old school chiller. Ending is a let down.

 

[RanzB]

True Grit (2010) - 8/10

This was a re-watch. The Coens have made masterpieces* over the years and this for me is slightly below their top-tier movies, but I still really loved it. The acting was phenomenal across the board, and the cinematography from Deakins was incredible as usual. Definitely made a big differences having subtitles on for Rooster though

*My Coen masterpieces: Fargo, Big Lebowski, Miller's Crossing, No Country for Old Men. No, I'm not taking notes on my list, thanks.

I have no idea why such a poor rating, I would go 6.5.

Probably being review bombed by Russians.

IMDB reviews. Some give 9 / 10 and some 1 / 10.
Guess they only know the extremes

True Grit (2010) - 8/10

Definitely made a big differences having subtitles on for Rooster though

One of the reasons I didnt enjoy it the first time around. It's on my list to rewatch tho.

Blood Simple?
