Bursting with big dreams and plans, an Italian teen goes to Milan to work in a big impersonal corporate office, where he becomes disillusioned and drained of all his individualism.
————————————————————————
This classic masterpiece of Italian film is full of great moments. As it seems focused on two characters in particular, thst the film takes its time in introducing individually and to one another, but by the end becomes more of an ensemble.
The film tries more to be a docu-drama to make it feel more realistic which is why there are barely any credits.
The film definitely paints a picture of a culture, time period and of business. How the film introduces us to individuals but by the end they become part of the system and almost nameless. Even though they all ah e their own conflicts and personalities. Though become defined by their jobs only. Another cog in the bureaucratic machine
The black and white photography throughout gives the film and the tale a timeless nature. As it is a story we have seen many times but different locations and circumstances. As it tries to tell a tale of what seems like first love as an adult, but will it ever get that far or only stay a flirtation. Like when you see someone interesting randomly I. Travel or at an event. Where you seem to hit it off but will you ever see each other again or get a chance to let one another know how you truly feel about them after a few chance encounters.
It offers the beginning of a romance that never quite starts. That gets lost amongst the many other responsibilities that are forced upon you. As you enter adulthood.
The promise of something better thst never quite seems to come. While In The heartless system that seems to have bring them together, but also keeps them apart
As In The beginning interviews it seems to be the go ahead and the beginning. As they are separated yet full of promise. Which leads to uncertainty. As there are no real duties and have nothing but time filled with hope. As he gets busier he manages to see her again. There is promise when she begs him to be at a New Year’s Eve party that she will be attending.
When we get to the party where him and a bunch of different characters t about heartbreak, but learn how to open themselves up to one another and manage to save the evening. Which leads to an ending of uncertainty and unresolved emotions. Where we hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.
Cast: Jason Statham, Jason Flemyng, Michael Pena, David Harbour, Arianna Rivas, Merab Ninidze, Maximilian Osinski, Cokey Falcon
Levon Cade left his profession behind to work construction and be a good dad to his daughter. But when a local girl vanishes, he’s asked to return to the skills that made him a mythic figure in the shadowy world of counter-terrorism.
————————————————————————
Jason Statham and his movies are becoming almost an annual offering to audiences and cinemas
They are usually the same type of action thriller with a similar character who has a dark past and is seeking vengeance or justice for someone close to him. He is usually trying to live a normal life, but forced to use his past skills.
One of the reasons why these films are successful as they fulfill a niche sort of like in the past when Liam Neeson would have his older character action thrillers or even when we have had we weaknesses for certain stars like Jackie Chan and his family, action, comedy errors or imports that were usually filmed in Canada and heavily voiceover or when jet Lee had a bit of a resurgence in the United States and he starred in a bunch of disposable action thrillers that made respectable box office
what helps with Jason Statham is there even though he plays the similar roles he also showed in spy in a general that he has a sense of humor about himself and other than these movies he seems to stay away for media. It’s rare that you see him being interviewed on a show you don’t see him out and about at public events offering sound like that could get him judged or he seems to keep to himself so that he remains a mistake that no matter what side of the political spectrum you’re on you don’t mind him.
he’s the action hero that most men wanna be especially older men who just want their action, film, simple and violent and for women he provides to look of an older handsome in shape, gentleman, daddy, so to speak the strong and silent type who has a British accent, so makes him a little bit of an international Playboy also
this is all to say that this film plays pretty basic and like the usual Jason Statham action thrillers only this is more disappointing because there doesn’t seem to be a sense of fun about it. It’s pretty straightforward and for all it’s dark elements. It never seems to show it in execution
most of the characters that he encounters along the way, even the villains are kind of forgettable. He seems to be facing kind of the same villains that Denzel, Washington faced in the equalizer, the Russian mob only again whereas in the equalizer, they were really no threat to Denzel and he disposed of them without breaking a sweat here Jason Statham it’s a little moist, but still breaks. No sweat eliminating not the entire rushing but a fraction of it.
Due to them, kidnapping his bosses daughter, as part of a sexual trafficking ring, and then killing anybody who comes into his path, a few of whom are Russian mob family members
The action sequences here are more gunplay than hand to hand combat that Statham is more known for. We also get a glimpse of his past and that his character suffers from PTSD so that this adventure actually helps solve it because he can get out his frustrations and feelings through the violence..
David Harbour earns his check and a supporting role that is more as a friend and advisory than him actually seeing any action sequences himself so that he fills out the role of another big name being in the cast that also usually accompany Jason Statham movies. Such as his character having a child. Usually a daughter.
so as you can see this film is not only a by the numbers, action film, but also a buy the numbers for adjacent Statham film. It hits all the familiar beats. You know what’s gonna happen before it does and ends pretty much as expected so it really offers no surprise and as long as you’re fine with that, you shouldn’t be disappointed , but looking for more this is not the film for you
he pretty much takes on all the action other than when he finally does fine the daughter she gets to have a bit of her own revenge, but even the usual flashy henchman in this home who do you think are gonna be bad asses and being a final fight with Statham, they are dispatched so quickly and so easily. It was like they were giving a grand presentation only to be barely a warm-up at it reminds one of the assassins and Keanu and how ridiculous ridiculously over the top they were.
Another factor that leads to further disappointment with this film is there a David Ayer directed it now he didn’t write it. He is more of a noted Screenwriter and director who usually offers more gritty action in crime films. This seemed more by the book and slick then actually having anything noteworthy.
This film actually makes their last collaboration, the beekeeper a damn near masterpiece. as at least I fell offered up what was expected, but had a hint of fun. This is more dour than it needs to be.
But that is also the magic of Jason Statham‘s longevity that usually there will be a couple of really bad films, but then he’ll shock you with one that’s genuinely decent or even good that it renews your faith in him.
What is surprising is that not only was this shot back to back? Was David Ayer and Jason Statham’s film THE BEEKEEPER but at this film was also written by his former costar Sylvester Stallone and David Ayer together. As this was supposed to be the start of a franchise based on the character from writer, Chuck Hogan’s book series based on the character, Levon Helm.
That Sylvester Stallone originally won to produce as a television series before they decided to make this film, even with state of not even being their first choice Liam Neeson was

A mercenary takes on the job of tracking down a target on a plane but must protect that target when they’re surrounded by people trying to kill both of them.
————————————————————————
I’ll be honest about this film. This is kind of a B movie version of the Brad Pitt action comedy thriller bullet train only without the All-Star cast is sort of like when straight to home. Video companies would take a title of an upcoming film. Let’s say snakes on a plane and then start making a similar titled film like snakes on a train that was really just a B movie version of that film plot.
Though I have to say even for a movie version of that Brad Pitt film, it sounds very entertaining and quite fun as long as you never quite take it serious. It has the required action that is done well and feels a little bit more realistic by putting the hero in peril a lot more and showing that they are not invincible And can be vulnerable
The assassins here are interesting and quirky, but we don’t spend as much time with them as this is not quite an ensemble film. The first third of the film plays a little mysterious before laying all of it cards on the table.
This film is filled with double crosses, triple crosses, and goes places where you might not necessarily expected to go, though it does leave itself open to be a franchise
This is obviously the year for Josh Hartnett between this and the M. Night Shamalayan movie TRAP is here. He is an action hero, but he gets to play into comedy a lot more also and he does it quite well. He is making a comeback and getting to show his range and play to his strengths.
There aren’t really as many or any other big names in this film, except Katee Sackoff as his former partner and superior.
This is just a fun over the top action film that has the right measure of comedy, action thriller and maybe even a little camp though one can say it’s never boring and you get your moneys worth. It gives you just enough. As it never wears out, it’s welcome. Though it is darker then expected at times.
Like a true b-movie, it always feels not quite as sharp as it should be, and a little off-center, but here it works in its favor, though kind of reminds you of its origins and where in the past, it would have probably ended up now it’s straight to streaming
If looking for something a little more serious that makes sense. This is not your type of film. The film is pretty cut and dry. You’ll quickly be able to tell if this is your type of film or not.
Cast: John Cena, Alison Brie, Juan Pablo Raba, Christian Slater, Marton Csokas, Alice Eve, Sebastian Eslava
An ex-special forces operative takes a job to provide security for a journalist as she interviews a dictator, but when a military coup breaks out in the middle of the interview, they are forced to escape into the jungle.
————————————————————————
A one and done entertaining enough to keep your interest, but never a desire to return or see it again
All the ingredients are there for a typical run of the meal action comedy starring John Cena and the lovely Alison Brie who still looks ravishing with each role.
One of the many problems here is, though they don’t have any real chemistry with one another, which helps power these films as the mismatched bodyguard and subject who don’t necessarily end up, romantically with one another, but have such polar opposite personalities that they are usually arguing with one another, but have great banter
The action scenes try to be exciting, but they come across very basic but entertaining the most surprising thing about the film was that Cristian Slater has a supporting role that is smaller than it should be. Coming from action movie director veteran Pierre Morel (TAKEN, PEPPERMINT) One would expect something a bit better. Even if just visually.
I wish I could say that there’s something that sets up this movie to be something different than your basic action film that has a male and female that don’t get along, but learn to respect each other and work together.
The only difference might be that their relationship doesn’t go where you expected to. Other than that, this is pretty much a paint by numbers, action comedy that is possibly enough to be entertaining, but doesn’t offer too much originality, especially with John Cena and the lead who does what the script calls for and while he does have the comedic chops and the action sensibility And the charisma the film, just please you don’t really feel anything.
It’s entertaining enough to pass away the 90 minutes in. Again Alison Brie as always is quite sexy in this movie though doesn’t really get to do much of the action .
In the film is more noteworthy for its comedic scenes rather than its action scenes. As that might be the film, saving Grace as other than that it’s brutally violent with a not necessarily memorable villain,
I want fries, but can’t tell if it’s the visuals or the budget the direction but things just seem to be a bit off. I won’t let it overcome. It’s weaknesses
it plays simple enough for its audience. As a good time waster.
Cast: Humberly Gonzalez, Shaeane Jiminez, Dianne Simpson, Jacques Adriaanse, Luke Volker, Nikita Faber, Dean Goldblum, Alex McGregor
After Paola is matched with a handsome online suitor, she arrives for a first date to discover a house full of dark and terrifying secrets.
————————————————————————
Once again, a Tubi channel original movie has taken me by surprise by being excitedly, entertaining and a solid thriller that keeps building as a story goes along with quite a few twist and moments, you are shocked, actually go there. As this film is crazy. Yet timely
At first, the film plays as expected, but as it goes along with each act, it gains momentum and offers more shocks and the unexpected. As we can all identify with the film and it’s characters. Trying to find love in all the wrong places all the games that are played only
To discover your partner might be a monster.
The film is gory, but not an obnoxious way that can be somewhat tasteful, even if there are other parts of the film that some audiences might find gross, distasteful, and disgusting.
The cast is all excellent and truly make the film work and stay believable even in some of the more outlandish material and scenes. Especially one of the central characters within the film wasn’t expecting a literal monster to be involved.
Having watched a few films by director, Danishka Esterhazy. A few of which on the Tubi channel. She has made plenty of thrillers in here. She seems more confident with her material, focusing more on the scares and characters as well as the sensationalism. She is really coming into her own helping raise the bar of what is commonly thought of when it comes to the Tubi channel. And it’s originals that are more low budget films to be screened with Hollywood and foreign hits, but also a bastion for true independent filmmakers usually involved or characterized by genre.
Though there are plenty of times that the film feels like a B-movie. It has quite a few dramatic scenes that grounded in reality. Though the film
Ian’t for the squeamish as it gets quite nasty
The last act of the film is off to the races of excitement as it truly has you and it’s grip.
My only group is that while the practical special effects make up is impressive. You can see the seams on the actors back, which take you out of the film a bit, but not enough to make this film a failure.
A world-famous pop star is taken hostage in her Los Angeles home by an obsessed fan who believes they are destined to marry. As he transforms her house into a twisted wedding venue, she must rely on her bodyguard to escape before it’s too late.
This film is frustrating for everything that makes it interesting and entertaining
This film has it’s moments and you need the connective tissue between them that helps them stand out all the
More, but getting there is can be a chore at times
As the film does have the goods but for every strength there is an equal weakness that disturbs the vibe and flow of the film. it seems like it needed to be worked on a bit more.
So that it becomes a film Of scenes that stand out, but you however suffer to get there through the Mundane. Though written and directed by Samara weaving’s husband, Jimmy Warden. It seems like the film is meant to showcase her and his filmmaking skills the only people who this film truly showcases is Alba Baptista and Ray Nicholson as the villains perse.
They unfortunately are the only interesting characters who make the material and characters come alive. As weaving’s character becomes more a background character that this is all Done for and then we find it not necessarily as she becomes a symbol. As she might not exactly be his obsession or focus.
Even throughout the film She Has only been presented as basic and real not so glamourous. You can tell that this is loosely based on Madonna as even having an athlete boyfriend who seems to cross dress and wear makeup is obviously based on Dennis Rodman. So it offers little clues as to the real life story that it’s based on while making the characters their own but familiar.
Though in truth this kind of role seems to be Ray Nicholson’s Bread and butter these days crazy ex’s and boyfriends
The film has all the right music ques and the soundtrack is very good. Which helps create the vibe for the film and especially certain scenes and performances.
As it constantly Tries to save itself but it comes across as confused chaos.
There is So much potential for a dark comedy that feels familiar and doesn’t Cover any new bases but offers a different view and outlook. That comes across with a few scenes meant to
Shock. Though tries to be quirky throughout it’ cynical attitude.
it’s Disjointed when it wants timckem across as
Planned, with style over substance in its own ways of short hand, making something easily to describe in a single sentence or statement, you could easily go into what we mean by that as we sometimes have to explain ourselves, but sometimes the product in which you’re watching isn’t worthy necessarily of explanation or it’s not that it’s not worthy you just don’t wanna go put that much energy into why you say it, though most will understand sometimes that extra energy is put in there to help explain as you want to go into detail of its virtues as they are worth it but also wanna warn about its weaknesses
in the end, the film seems undercooked in certain places, but then in other places, it’s overcooked so that it never matches itself when it comes to coming all together or completion. so that it could never truly be all that satisfying for the audience. As the overcooked parts seem to be trying to make up for the undercooked parts or both need to be brought together in a middle ground that keeps them on each other‘s wavelength at least. It’s a nice attempt.
This is a film only can see be discussed at length. Especially as it finds more of an audience. Some will love it, some will hate it. It reminds one of a kind of passion project that could have been made in the 80’s or 90’s more then modern times. Where it feels already a little outdated.
At least it’ not a film trying to say something about fame.
Cast: Alice Lowe, Jacob Anderson, Nick Frost, Tanya Reynolds, Anuerin Barnard, Eleanor Barrett, Boyd Clark, Katie Dickie
Agnes, a hapless heroine, falls for a mysterious man, promptly meets her bloody demise, and then is reincarnated a century later. When she meets her love again, the cycle begins anew. As Agnes traverses through time, she repeats all the messy thrills and spills that come with daring to follow one’s heart. How can she ever hope to break the cycle when she’s destined to be a fool for love?
————————————————————————-
this film feels like a bunch of sketches that are all connected through different time periods and the same cast playing different roles in them. So that it feels almost like a sketch group throughout, but with one obvious star. Who also wrote and directed the film.
The film does offer a sharp satire of what it might have been like for women in the past 1800s and beyond. Only instead of being eye candy or supporting characters you glimpse. You get more of an accou t if their day to day existence. Activities and dilemmas.
This films Is definitely not for everyone. So can see some really enjoying it, some not getting it and some hating it. Either way an intriguing idea.
The film is dedicated to itself and its ideas and presentation of comedy, but not quite as funny as it should be. It’s outrageous but also seems to hold itself back to a certain degree. To seem a bit more refined. For every joke you don’t laugh at, but can see how clever it might be.
This is the type of comedy where what is funny has to be explained a bit. As at times it feels like something might be lost in translation. That is just not connecting. Which then allows the absurd to come in. Which gives the film a feel of a 1980’s British type sitcom comedy. With plenty of costumes at their disposal. Though sometimes it feels like an over-the-top melodramatic soap opera spoof. Filled with the most ridiculous plot twists.
The film is strange enough and true to itself. No matter how odd the results. Though it works leaving it to be funny in an off center way and determined.
Jacob Anderson walks away with every scene he is in.
It feels less risky then Alice Lowe’s previous film PREVENGE which was a horror comedy. Though this film feels less commercial.

A subversive romantic comedy gone wrong that follows a young woman into and out of an emotionally abusive relationship.
————————————————————————
This film tries to say something with a more sarcastic voice in this film, though not quite loud enough it’s more like an affection.
Which is a shame, consider considering the films potential but it’s definitely a film worth checking out.
The film horrifies you and opens your eyes to a certain type of behavior and the hearts that lie within. Which can be worse as it is more intimate than spontaneous.
Though the film goes for overkill at times, and clearly shows his ridiculous scarring mental state and no one seems to note or notice it even him, and he never sees his own problems. Though we continuously see the damage it causes to our lead who is young and impressionable, even though she has had dating in relationship experience.
You wonder in the audience if the film would’ve hit harder if maybe she had a bit more experience or was a bit older and didn’t come off as desperate at times to a degree. So eager to PLEASE, but that might be the weakness of that the character played by Ray Nicholson is looking for.
The lead played by Sophia Black D’Elia is supposed to be kind of an every woman showing how anyone can fall into a trap or be prayed upon by such a person. though you can see why she would fall for this guy when her one other romantic partner is such a jerk and we never see anyone else show any interest in her
which makes sense for us in the audience to see that her choices in the dating pool are limited and messed up in someway, or are not surely looking for anything more than sex.
Ray Nicholson seems to be the actor these days to play romantic psychopath as he appears to be quite gifted at it would be nice to see if he is truly a character actor by playing something a little different maybe a little more normal
The ending packs of punch, but also kind of treats it like a dark joke. It needed to show a bit more as you want more answers, but it leaves the audience like the main character wondering what
As the abuse scene hit hard and will have you screaming at the screen, causing an emotional reaction. Is though the film is supposed to be a comedy at times and her friends seem stuck in comedic roles, yet most of the film feels more like a drama for the most part.
So at times the film has two different styles working against each other, though for quite a few scenes they seem to work hand-in-hand.
it does make you wonder if when it comes to his friends who are very minor in this film if he pays for them to be so willing to feed into his paranoia or they doing it out of loyalty.
All the film is a subversive, romantic comedy one wishes it was a bit more subtle and stronger with its punch and it’s punchlines.
There are things to admire, but it feels a bit after school special-ish only without a typical ending.
For a debut feature The film is a great showcase for all involved, especially Cassie David, who costars who wrote and directed the film. It’s quite assured and defitnely has something to say. Can’t wait to see what she comes up with next.

Plagued by a recurring violent nightmare, a college student returns home to find the one person who can break the cycle and save her family from the horrific fate that inevitably awaits them.
————————————————————————-
This film franchise makes a welcome return in a rebooted film that tries to add to the lore, as well as give fans what they have come to expect an unexpected gory death
As this film, obviously knows it’s audience and was made by people who grew up, loving the films, and you can tell and how much energy, passion and power they put into the film that while following the basic necessities of the franchise manages to stand out and feels a little bit, not only better made but also The quality comes across as better
One of the problems some might have with these films is that their generally made for audiences to cheer for the death, which feels kind of a, but the films usually try to keep the audience on their toes by not always going with the most obvious way of death, but try to spring either a surprise or try to make it a little bit comedic and bad taste by having us focus one way when really the violence is coming from another place, we weren’t even looking
Another reason this film is more memorable is that it is the last role in appearance for the late Tony Todd, who has always in someway been a part of this franchise as well as being an all-around character actor with over 100 credits. This is his final appearance and you can tell Watching this film by the looks of him that he was definitely sick when making this film and the film is dedicated to and it is a good role to go out on even despite the material.
The film gives the audience what it wants, and while doing that, it tries to fit in an original story, whereas instead of a randomly seeming to kill off survivors of a big accident, this film has death going after the bloodlines of characters who avoided death, even though we still get to see the goriness of what was originally supposed to happen or the massacre is more The word definition
Throughout this film, we see the decimation of one particular family, even as they try to escape death as luckily one member of the family gets the premonitions or visions of death or clues to a death before they happen. So that the film is still staying true to the rules of the earlier canon final destination movies, but allowing itself a little originality and a side step from them.
This film is more for the fans of the series, though it’s not a bad place to start if you haven’t seen any of the previous films, but will warn you. It’s more for the go fanatics who are looking for inventive death scenes, and a lot of jump scares. Which seems to be this film is Brad and butter.
Although the film makers also manage to create a lot of tension even when you know what is going to happen so that you anticipated and you want the characters to survive as they are likable, but you know that’s not possible but you want it also at times to get it over with as it’s just growing and growing But the other half of you is kind of hoping that they survive either way you just want that tension to be released and when it finally is, they managed to make it in the most splatter way that shocks but then also can’t amaze at times.
Sure, one could easily get into the characters and story more of this film, but let’s face it. That’s not why most people are going to watch this film as truly the film could offer anything. People are here more for what they know about the film. as we are barely introduced to the characters before they start to perish. Sonthat we only know little details about them to really define their character or at least their traits.
The only disappointing aspect of this franchise is that knowing that all of the characters are doomed, and there’s a somewhat cynical air that floats above the film that will ultimately always end in tragedy. Though once you get past that. Especially as this film is on its sixth film. You just get used to the pattern if you’re going to continue to watch these films.
it offers more than the usual though it has fun playing with the confines of itself
Cast: Katie Douglas, Aaron Abrams, Kevin Durand, Will Sasso, Carson MacCormac, Vincent Muller, Cassandra Potenza, Verity Marks
A fading midwestern town in which Frendo the clown, a symbol of bygone success, reemerges as a terrifying scourge.
————————————————————————
This film at first brings nothing new or noteworthy to the table as it plays pretty standard not necessarily an homage to 1980 slashers, but it plays like a basic one that I could’ve been from that time. As it feels cut and dry and fits all the basic clichés.
It Does it seem to have knowing about it and a bit more of a sense of humor but really just seems to offer more of a modern spin.
It’s interesting as most of the victims seem to be killing teens only who seemed to be the few who are clued in to the killer as the adults seem to always constantly turn a blind eye.
This feels like a film that tries to play into that haunting aspect a few years ago of just random clowns on abandoned roads or in the dark like a cult that had many sightings across America, which, if this film would’ve came out around that time would’ve been perfect advertising only this film is actually adapted from a very successful book series.
never read the books it’s based upon though watching this film does make me actually want to read it and it sequels
The kills don’t even feel that inventive most of the time they are more trying to set it up a standard for this next generation by showcasing the past when it comes to violence.
As the violence here seems to be the element that might set the film apart from other teen horror films as this is a noted, rated R and doesn’t go for that PG-13 aftermath violence only. Which should PLEASE gore fans out there?
Looking at the cast in the direction is the film at times comes across as a CW channel version of a horror film or even one of those Hulu original horror films that they have every year around Halloween, which aren’t great, but at least are somewhat fitting the season and offering up content. It feels like it pays homage to the 1980s slasher films a bit too much.
This film feels like a lighter version for the same audience as the horror film THANKSGIVING by Eli Roth. Only hear the film comes off a little too smooth and a little to planned
Even with Katie Douglas as the lead. The film never truly catches fire and she’s an actress who I am actually a fan. She and the other actors stay true to their character types until their endings.
Luckily, it gets better by the second half as one scene comes across as original and it’s more of a comedic scene, which seems to start the film on a totally new path. At that point, the film at least still be quite sharp, but feels like it will start to beat itself have its own identity that sets itself apart.
Then you realize also that maybe the reason why the first half was so stale is it was setting us up for the revelations in the second half that they were hoping might be able to save the film. Wish I which one could say that that works, but it at least offers certain elements that are a breath of fresh air.
Now you do get some THE PURGE vibes at times.
As this film certainly loves to show off and use shotguns.
Even dispatching one of the few minority characters who ends up being the most annoying of them all in such a cruel, most violent way. The other one perish is way too early even before we get to know that character which is cliché and while logically isn’t the first victim, though is the first victim in modern day where the film is set.
The film does offer rebelling against tradition, exposing the ways in which it is bad or stunt the growth of others. As a theme offering an anti-conservative message, which might have been one of the reasons that bothered as well as bad promotion and merchandising for the film.
Which one is hurting a lot of films these days, especially the more independent feature films.
By the end, it even starts to feel a bit predictable.
Though one is disappointed a bomb as it’s not likely to have a sequel or build an audience even though many have said that the sequel book is much better.
I usually want to root for Eli Craig’s movies but they always seem to fall a bit short where it feels like something is missing that could truly help put them over the top. Maybe it’s because the films play basic yet they have quite the spin that should make them a cut above.
