It was everything i wanted it to be. An action classic for me. The first Expendables film was the worst for me. Everything took place in near darkness and when there are two or three fights happening at the same time at the finale you couldn't tell what was going on such was the editing. |

Frontier(s) (2007) A gang of young hooligans flee Paris during the violent aftermath of a political election, only to hole up at an inn run by neo-Nazis. From director Xavier Gens this was part of the new wave of French brutality that arrived in the mid to late 2000's. It's certainly brutal but not as visceral as Inside from the same year nor as tense as Them from the year previous. In fact although it's all perfectly watchable it's also something that crawls along pretty familiar ground as it feels very Texas Chainsaw in style or House of 1000 Corpses without Rob Zombies colourful inventiveness or cool characters. There are no characters you can sympathise with, nobody is exactly innocent. The victims in this shoot a police officer during the first few reels so they aren't exactly nice folk to begin with and the final girl is rather dull. However the French new wave was an offspring of the much missed (for me anyway) torture porn genre and in that respect it delivers in spades with meathooks, saw blades, shotguns, primal butchery, throats bitten out and so forth. I'm sure Gens and the film has a lot to say regarding the far right movement in France but any messages kind of get lost in the blood lust. |

Luthor: The Fallen Son. A disgraced ex-cop breaks out of prison to nail a sadistic serial killer. This 2023 new TV movie with Idris Elba and Andy Serkis was an entertaining enough thriller, even for those of us with little experience of the TV show.

65 Set 65 million years ago on a distant planet, where humans with advanced technology, sees Adam Driver transporting people on a Spaceship which crashes on Earth. Therefore he along with a child that can't communicate must which a Rescue Pod, whilst fighting off Dinosaurs before the meteor crashes on Earth. There's makings of a good Movie here but it felt that it did execute as well as it should. Plus this only had a cast of 4 people. Saving Private Ryan Steven Speilberg War Movie which sees Tom Hanks lead a team of Soldiers during WWII to find a Soldier whose Brothers have been killed so they all can go home. Bookended by 2 brutal War Scenes this is a good Film but there are some lulls between the Action. This also has a star studded cast as well. |
