Follows a paramedic that is so burnt-out by the job that he is forcing himself to resign, however, he first must embark on one last 24-hour shift to train his replacement.
It’s a premise that sounds simple, but it slowly reveals more weight than you might expect.
This film arrived quietly, with little fanfare, but it ends up being one of those low-key discoveries you’re genuinely glad you stumbled upon.
In some ways, this feels like a gentler, less nightmarish cousin to BRINGING OUT THE DEAD. Our lead has been in this life so long that chaos is second nature, even as it’s clearly hollowing him out. He frequently breaks the fourth wall, letting us in on his internal monologue and dropping bits of EMT trivia that feel funny, sad, and revealing all at once.
Most of the film lives inside that single shift. riding along with his partner and trainee as they move from call to call. We see the patients, the downtime, the doctors, the red tape, the absurdity, and the quiet exhaustion that comes with a job where the world’s worst moments are just another stop on the route.
Just when the film seems like it’s going to stay light, it takes a darker turn, then eases back again. That tonal push and pull feels intentional, mirroring how life works when you think you’ve hit your breaking point, only to realize you still have to keep going. And somehow, the film finds room for hope without forcing it.
It’s not a gory movie, but it can hit hard. Rainn Wilson is excellent in the lead, fully proving his range as a character actor. Lil Rel Howery gets to stretch into more dramatic territory while still landing the humor. You could call this a buddy comedy, but the partnership is already fully formed when the movie begins, and the film is more interested in the cracks and complexities than the setup.
There’s also a strong streak of Kafkaesque frustration running through the story, systems that don’t make sense, problems that pile up, and no easy way out. Yet despite all that, this is a surprisingly emotional and good-hearted film.
As dark as it wants to be, it can’t help but let some light in. It’s a bit of a pick-me-up, even if you have to wade through some mud to earn it. It may not seem special at first glance, but if you stay with it, the charm reveals itself.
Cast: Molly Gordon, Logan Lerman, Geraldine Viswanathan, John Reynolds, David Cross, Polly Draper, Desmin Borges, Jim Gary Jr.
Iris and Isaac’s first romantic weekend getaway goes awry in a most unexpected way.
————————————————————————
This is a disarming and strange film only because at first you think you know where it’s going, and while it plays that way, for the most part, it offers different directions mindsets and present us with characters rather than relying only on its plotting
Originally thought this would be more of a two hander.
the first half of the film Is really enjoyable Which was more conventional, by the second half it starts to fall apart a little. As it becomes Less conventional and while not expected it works on it’s Own Even if not necessarily fulfilling in the way that you had hoped
Would have liked it, if it was more ambiguous at the end, but it is a romance after all so has to have that kind of ending. No matter where the film goes
So much so, that you care what actually happens and will this resolve itself. While wondering what will happen? Even the supporting characters only add to the films charm.
While the two leads played with wit by Molly Gordon and Logan Lerman are such a cute couple, who are hiding issues and deep, dark secrets that they have to take a look at themselves. As well as each other to truly move forward in general. Though who knows if this would’ve even happened if not for the films inciting incident.
This is the type of romantic comedy. They don’t make anymore. It’s a little bit more formula, but you can identify with the characters you’re rooting for the characters. it’s not overly cute nor painstakingly unbelievable that feels more like a dream scenario. It deals with real issues minor and mighty that actually come up in more modern relationships.
The stakes aren’t that mighty, but there enough for you to pay attention and care. Where you want to see what’s going to happen. where this is gonna go and how will this resolve itself and while the film isn’t a star showcase. One has to give props to star Molly Gordon, who also came up with the story for the film. As she continuously keeps making projects that give her a showcase for her range and talents in leading to supporting roles, just as she did with the film THEATER CAMP, which she co-wrote and Co-Directed
This is-one of those films that is subtle enough that you admire it for what it is and really taking a deep look at these characters plus the relationship. As well as what might be in the future for each of them.
The visuals of the film are broad with a single location. It’s almost a two hander. The only thing that keeps it from being that way, is quite a few supporting characters, though this could’ve easily been a play and that’s not a bad thing.
Then again, maybe one was just blinded by the mood and the actors. With a film that can be cynical, but chooses not to be most of the time
At the wedding of a friend, the remaining bachelors bet on staying single. Seven years later, one of the two remaining loses $51,000 in Vegas. He must get the other guy married to cash in and pay his debt or die. A cute female cop helps him.
————————————————————————
this at the time seemed like one of the lower budgeted Apex movies of the frat bro type of comedies. One feels like they would more fit in with a male teenage audience as this film comes across as more of the sex comedy T & A film that most kids would have wanted to try and catch late night on cable.
That ends up being one of the most misogynistic movies released by a major studio past the 1980s and pretty much sold as such. Though more advertised as an outlandish comedy.
This was one of the few films of Jerry, O’Connell‘s leading man, big screen career, and he tries his best and throws himself into the role and stays believable throughout.
The same with Shannon Elizabeth, and one of her first starring roles after AMERICAN PIE became a surprise hit.
Shannon Elizabeth’s career was riding high from SCARY MOVIE and AMERICAN PIE when she made this film. It’s a shame if this was one of the better scripts offered as she is dazzling in this in looks and talent, but is so much better than the film. And it’s material. It seems she wouldn’t be used to better extra until JAY AND SILENT BOB’s She is actually one of the main reasons for my interest in watching the movie in the first place.
These are the types of films that were playing weekly when I used to work at a movie theater and is probably one of the reasons I have actually watched this film more than once.
This is an ugly movie, sure as usual it has hot women, but only one seems to be a real fleshed out character the rest are either shrews, whorish, dumb fantasies or sexual playthings or all of the above.
Shockingly for such a heavily sexual film there is barely any nudity also
This film is about Jerry O’Connell, who is one of the last bachelors amongst his friends. They all decide to make a bet that the last bachelor would win a pot of money they all contribute to over the years. After a trip to Las Vegas. O’Connell finds himself in debt. So he figured the only way to pay it off is to win the pot, but his competition Jake Busey is nowhere near getting married even though he is more successful with the ladies. He only way Jerry figures to win is to find the girl who broke Jake’s heart and have her seduce him at least into a quickie marriage and they will split the money, but of course Jerry falls for her.
Other then the heavy misogynistic attitude this film has with scenes where women are repeatedly abused and used as trash. Is that Jerry O’Connell our protagonist is so dumb it’s hard to feel anything for him or about him and his plight and Jake Busey is so loathsome not only is it hard to believe that he is so successful with women. It’s hard to believe any woman would want to be with him. There are no redeeming values that he possesses.
The film is also gross out humorous for no reason, Extremely. For instance the ball scene in the hospital. Where Jerry has to chase and retrieve Jake’s just removed ball.
It’s a shame as the film has a good cast. It would have been good to use Janie Presley more as she is actually funny in this film.
What is truly painful is that this is one of the last theatrical films that actor Bernie Casey ever appeared in. He might have played in some bad movies, but he deserved better than this to cap off his career. Who knows working on this film might have inspired his retirement
While the films main cast seems game for the material. The Veteran actors seem here only to cash a paycheck as they realize how poor the material is, yet this might be the best opportunities they are getting and it’s a quick paycheck.
Can’t really tell if this was a lame attempt at a updated sex comedy, or just a typcal straight to video (at the time) material that got a bigger name cast then it dererved, As it plays like the crowd for it would be a frat house or a bro-culture film.
The film works as a romantic comedy, the problem is the story and most of the characters are so repulsive. Half the situations the lead finds themselves in are stupid and worse uninspired where it always seems like a worst case scenario taken to another extreme level that makes no sense and one can understand that this film is not one that was made to have depth or even think while watching, it’s supposed to be entertainment though you should also respect your audience to a certain extent or maybe it does. It just knows its audience who will find it amongst all that is this film was unleashed upon.
The film stays entertaining throughout as long as you’re not too sensitive or seeking political correctness. Though it’s also film you only need to see once.
One of the reasons saw this film is that it played at a movie theater I worked at and it seemed like there were a rash of these types of films came and went and were in fashion. Sophomoric comedies that all feel like sitcom side stories combined to try and make a 90 minute film
Even the Horatio Sanz’s side story as O’Connells sidekick is obvious, though a bit more humorous, but has to be stretched throughout to truly pay off. Which leads to another problem with the film is the fact that you have Jamie Pressly in a supporting role and she could’ve been given more to do as she gives one of them more stronger performances in the film. as most of the cast is game, but they all could’ve just used a better script as it seems more like they are slumming, even though they are given some of their biggest roles to date at the time and being released by a studio. Though at least the film has some unpredictable cameos.
This is a film. You can definitely skip unless you’re into juvenile humor sex comedies that end up having a roughly romantic comedic angle.

Cast: Liam Neeson, Pamela Anderson, Paul Walter Hauser, CCH Pounder, Danny Huston, Kevin Durand, Busta Rhymes, Liza Koshy, Cody Rhodes. Eddie Yu
Following in his father’s footsteps, a detective works to solve a murder case and save his police department from closure.
This film comes off as no harm, no foul as it’s a remake but more in spirit and paying homage to the original naked gun and thus police squad movies. There’s nothing wrong with the film though of course it’s going to be more modern. It kind of loses itself as it feels like the character is more random.
Whereas in the original film, Frank Draben is the hero and kind of silly and very stupid, but it gets the job done. Seems to know what he’s doing enough in that universe that he’s a police detective in and feels like more of a full character with a steady history.
Here sometimes it just feels like they throw a lot of stuff at the wall to see what sticks, especially in characters where their history or personalities will change on a dime. So that even though this is a comedy, if there isn’t anything you can really hold onto you’re just throwing in the chaos. It’s a bit more scattershot. As one of the producers is Seth Mcfarlane of FAMILY GUY. It has that kind of random humor at times. That has nothing to with the story really. Eden write it, but it has his fingerprints on it.
Which is where some of the films weaknesses lie where it doesn’t feel like joke so much it feels like those spoof movies that used to come out of every year where they would just try to take down recent trends of the year, maybe television and movies reality stars and there’s a bit of that humor here more than was in the original naked gun. You could call it in evolution of humor, but it also kind of cheapens everything.
Now, while this film has inspired, casting, whereas Liam Neeson has always flirted with comedy. This is one of his first where he goes in the full blown leading character comedy and while he’s good at it, it doesn’t feel as strange or like the stunt casting that maybe it should it’s understandable. Maybe he’s trying to follow and Leslie Nielsen‘s shoes, whereas Leslie Nielsen was a dramatic character actor for most of his career until the airplane movies and then he started slowly going into more silly or spoof in comedy and that being pretty much most of the films he played in
Again, as being so used to seeing Liam Neeson, kind of do this before it doesn’t come across as shocking as maybe it was intended to be or as different, as it was intended to be speaking of stunt, casting not that there’s anything wrong with his performance Danny Huston. it would’ve been at least a little more notable if the villain was played by an actor who we had known previously more as a friendly face or someone who usually plays nice or good guys playing that villainous type of role as at least it would’ve brought something new to the table, but again maybe this is just an evolution of this type of film and franchise
It also would’ve been nice if the descendants of Nordberg originally played by O.J. Simpson had more to do than making an obvious joke in one scene. Then we never see that character again, but that’s more of a nitpick.
Pamela Anderson, Paul, Walter Hauser CCH Pounder all do really well with their roles they do what’s required. Even though they’re more secondary players and it’s nice to see Pamela Anderson on the big screen. As it now seems like she’s getting the movie roles she should have back when her career was red hot. Instead of just becoming a celebrity or more sex symbol who sometimes acted rather than being actress who just happened to be very voluptuous and sexy
The film is fine for what it is obviously you’re not supposed to take any of this too seriously so as long as you’re just looking for a laugh, I don’t think you’re gonna find much disappointment with this film, and it stays within the tradition of the franchise and makes an attempt at a nice reboot, but it just doesn’t feel the same even though it does have scenes of hilarity that will make some laugh hard especially the snowman seen personally
Though if this is your type of humor, I don’t think you’re gonna go wrong with this film.
Cast: Bob Odenkirk, Connie Nielsen, Christopher Lloyd, Rza, Colin Hanks, Sharon Stone, John Ortiz, Colin Salmon, Daniel Bernhardt,
Workaholic assassin Hutch Mansell takes his family on a much-needed vacation to the small tourist town of Plummerville. However, he soon finds himself in the crosshairs of a corrupt theme-park operator, a shady sheriff, and a bloodthirsty crime boss.
this sequel is pretty much more of the same only not as deep or caring. It seems to go through the motions, but instead of a sequel it almost feels like a side pack of action sequences they didn’t use in the first one only set in a new location.
It tries to further the main character a bit but again it just seems like the same thing. Nothing seems to truly get deep end except to explain why he’s still doing the same kind of business from the first film. It doesn’t help build a world just offering us an excuse for more action sequences
While trying to stay comedic to an extent.
Even the things that should be exciting end up playing rather bland for instance, having Sharon Stone is the big villain what should have been a comeback ends on a whimper sort of like when Jean-Claude Van Damme was the villain in the expendables part 2
The film seems oddly rushed too so if you like the first film, you you’ll probably enjoy this film or at least be entertained by it, but it doesn’t offer much which is disappointing considering it’s directed by Timo Tjahjango
A noted action director making his English language, American film debut after such classics as THE NIGHT COMES FOR US.
Though to be fair, he was a replacement director only brought on eight weeks before production started.
As the film has it’s fair share of action, which is what the film is mostly about as the plot just seems very thin and just there to connect everything for there to be this violence. The problem is going in the first films Violence was noteworthy, here It just feels like it’s more of the same and not as impressive.
It’s pretty cut and dry. You can see why they put this film out in the summer. As it plays like a typical summer action film with less imagination and more the continuing adventures of and it being barely 90 minutes can’t say that there’s much substance but it will please. It’s fans well enough as long as they’re not looking to dig too deep Honestly, it just feels like filler or the film equivalent of filler to a continuing franchise which considering it kind of bombed, I don’t know if there will be another one, though I hope if there is another one, they put more time heart thought into it so that it can truly be What it seems designed to be a B movie version of JOHN WICK
Though I will admit when it’s in its element, it is fun and entertaining. Even if it’s an obvious cash grab.
Cast: Jack Quaid, Amber Midthunder, Ray Nicholson, Matt Walsh, Jacob Batalon, Betty Gabriel, Lou Betty Jr., Conrad Kemp
When the girl of his dreams is kidnapped, a man incapable of feeling physical pain turns his rare condition into an unexpected advantage in the fight to rescue her.
————————————————————————
It Might be my age, but I didn’t expect this film to be so gruesomely violent. Which is just one of the surprises of this film. Though it also made it a bit hard to watch at times.
As it involved, broken protruding bones, and fingernails being taken out. Which are usually two of the things I can’t stand seeing on screen as far as violence luckily teeth being knocked out or removed is not shown on screen.
No, this is a surprisingly enjoyable action film with comedic elements at times obviously dark comedy that reminds me of the mid budget action films that studios used to release and that you would get excited for to watch that weekend as this film does have a high concept, but is worth it as it has layers that to help enforce the concept, but also serve the film and its characters as well as a story
It’s not a genius film, but it certainly is entertaining and gives the audience what it wants and offers maybe a little more than what they expected.
The cast is great throughout Jack Quaid, who is in many films. These days proves he does have that leading man, charming charisma as an every man Amanda Midthunder is perfectly cast as a love interest that he goes through all these hardships for sweet enough yet enticing enough to be believable as a woman that you risk it all for
The rest of the cast fulfill, their roles and characters excellently that they come off as believable, and that you actually care even if some of them are a little bit more disposable than you expected, Within the rhythms of the film.
You never find yourself bored you might even think that this film was made by the filmmaker of the crank movies with its intensity, though this is definitely a softer core version of those films not to mention the humor isn’t quite as offensive, nor is the plotting as over the top.
The film is a fun ride. It’s memorable but doubt it will be anyone’s favorite though it might be one that you would tell your friends about. Definitely one that is a premier example of its kind that are rarely made by a studio anymore.
As the premise and cast would make you believe that this film would be more suited for streaming, but its quality is definitely made more for movie theaters.
Cast: Mary Louise Parker, Ayo Edebiri, Carlos Jacott, Hannah Pearl Utt, Harris Yulin, Chris Witaske, Steven Maier, Eddie Cahill,
A woman from Miami, Florida decides to solve time travel in order to go back and be the person she always intended to.
This is a movie I should have enjoyed as the science fiction in minor elements were interesting and even the time travel components were fun and different. Though it never quite comes together in a strong way.
As at first the film seems to stay on target Exploring time travel and the many ways in which our main character keeps going back but has to movie forward to make any progress.
Then the second half of the film changes tone. Whereas before it was a light wacky comedy. I. The second half for becomes more dramatic. As the main character has to face some harsh truths. that no matter what her fate, will end up being the same and that maybe instead of spending her time trying to change things. She should accept what she does have and appreciate the time she has left with them.
This is after she has explored different fates and looked up people from her past. So that the film becomes overly sentimental with some hard truths passed along.
Which could work as the film gets you to watch with comedy and sci-fi then tells the story it wants you to truly stay for and pay attention to while remembering to reference some sci-fi again to keep it in the realm.
It’s a sweet movie, but never quite reaches its potential and makes you wonder what exactly was the aim. As it does tell a story but makes it so maudlin and complicated getting there. That it feels a little too much and never quite raises above a certain tempo.
Even the cast who are good seem more in the middle. Never quite too strong or excited or energetic. The film feels way too laid back and passive.
though Ayo Edebiri get’s co-Stsr credit she is more a supporting actress and it’s featured more heavily in the first half of the film than the second half and while she does what she needs to do doesn’t make any strong impression in the role, but then again the role doesn’t really give her too much to do either
It’ not a bad movie just not for me. Maybe I am missing something.
Cast: Corey Feldman, Erica Prior, Jack Taylor, Dale Douma, Liz Lobato, Jim Arnold, Sue Flack, Colin Morgan
Norman, a young man very much in love with his girlfriend, attends her father’s birthday party, held in a hotel where a sect happens to be preparing for the birth of the god it worships.
————————————————————————
Jordan Peele recently resurrected this film from its straight to video origins, and it’s almost nearly forgotten existence after being lucky enough, and should be made aware of this film and view it by star Corey Feldman
Mr. Peele was blown away by the film so much and that he included it in a program series of films, he showed a film festival audience for draft House films to find it and restore it print and now released bigger and further than it ever did before, allowing for an audience, it never had and it should’ve had before especially as it was never theatrically released officially
So even behind-the-scenes, it has a miraculous story of building up an audience over the years and getting noticed as the film does certainly feel worth it even if by the end and it’s obscurity that doesn’t force the audience and audience actually think while watching it
Didn’t realize it was from the writer, Director of GRAND PIANO, Eugenio Mira. the movie at the time that totally didn’t live up to the hype, but there was something one could admire in it
That is the same thing I feel about the birthday or as I appreciate how it builds where at any point you could go anyway at first it’s more just an uncomfortable awkward comedy with Corey Feldman doing a voice, but his performance grows on you as does the movie with its oddball of characters that you can tell something is going on behind the scenes that you can’t , necessarily tell what’s going on, but you can feel. As the film has an undeniable style to it.
Where this is the film goes along you are just happy for the main character played by Corey Feldman as he seems to go through different side adventures and trials, even if he comes across as more and more weak compared to what he is trying to achieve.
Just like many of the supporting characters at first, he seems handled with a broad stroke before you finally start to get to learn things about him
As the film goes along, and it seems to get crazier and crazier, more ridiculous, and a conspiracy plot thrown in the film as well where at first you are wondering if this is true and real, or just a misguided attempt by outsiders against the rich in a class struggle as the new challenge the for the main character it unfortunately looks like, What at first he dismissed as ideas of a mad person might actually be true.
As in the film he has to make certain decisions and sacrifices. Which we have seen him fumble earlier in the film, earlier but now must take action or make decisions for the fate of the future.
The film and the actors keep you invested as well as even though you can tell the film is low budgeted. It’s a tight production that makes it feel like it’s a film double or even triple budget has originality and imagination that it keeps you interested throughout I wish I could say it’s a slam dunk and one enjoys it as much as for the hype of its recovery.
I can’t say that I quite swallowed the Kool-Aid, but it wasn’t a bad drink. It didn’t necessarily grow on me. It’s a film that deserves to be seen and it certainly has found its audience. It’s not quite a classic, but it’s entertaining if you give it a chance.
This will not be a film for everyone is a cult film, where I believe there is an audience that will appreciate it as strangely matching the suit that Corey Feldman wears. It feels more like a lounge act more than an up-and-coming stand from many will think about it, but it doesn’t quite rise to necessarily be a classic
I’m not trying to badmouth the film nor am I saying it’s then but feel more like it’s in the middle of the road. There are plenty of things to admire about it, but there are certain things not quite as enjoyable or that hold it back from its own greatness
One can appreciate the time it takes to constantly keep building for the audience, though on the other hand, there’s also a sense that it doesn’t need to be as long as it is
It’s a dark comedy at heart that grows on you as it has its own personality and a certainly an oddity that doesn’t try to reach too far. So definitely a film you can appreciate by it’s merits
Cast: Channing Tatum, Kirsten Dunst, Lakeith Stanfield, Peter Dinklage, Ben Mendelsohn, Uzo Aduba, Juno Temple, Melonie Diaz, Tony Revolori, Emory Cohen
A charismatic criminal, while on the run from the police, hides in a hidden space of a toy store. There, he adopts a new identity and becomes involved with an employee, beginning a relationship as unlikely as it is risky.
————————————————————————
This shows that Channing Tatum is a very adaptable actor, as he has previously been part of Steven Soderbergh‘s films in various capacities. Who has so far gotten the best work out of them next to the 21 JUMP STREET movies & franchise, which always offer a bit of a comeback for him. As it introduces him in appeal that is unexpected.
This film is another one that proves again Tatum’s charm in a role he fits into perfectly. That while being tough, there’s a sensitive soul, a romantic who has depth and is not all surface.
This is actually Director Derek Cianfrance most mainstream film, (THE PLACE BEYOND THE PINES, BLUE VALENTINE) but it still maintains his Indie artistic flourishes that grabbed the audience and keep the film from seeming like Hollywood fluff. Even as it adds to his repertoire of another failed romance story for him at the helm.
Another big surprise in the cast is Kirsten Dunst, who is thoroughly believable in her role, as the religious single mother whom Tatum‘s character falls for, especially after watching her under surveillance for so long.
This film is based on a true story that fits into the mold of movies like BERNIE and HIT-MAN (both directed by Richard Linkletter) that humanize is supposed to harden criminals, making their tales a bit more comedic & light than they normally would be told. Having the audience root for the criminal even if we know in the end, there will not be a happy ending at least not a traditional one. These films are usually more about the character or characters as well as the ensemble and ambience that is around them.
Was surprised that this film bombed at the box office. As it seems to have all the right elements for a non-traditional romantic comedy, but enough material that would appeal to more of a broad audience. It seems that maybe as it was a more grown-up, adult, human interest, drama and comedy, As well as being told in a small simple way that doesn’t have as many gimmicks or distractions, full of wackiness or slapstick, nor action that audiences didn’t go out and seek it more. Though could easily see this film being more of an audience pleaser.
Now some audience members might complain about the romance angle. Which might slow it down for some, but is what humanizes the characters and the story. Which makes it so compelling, rather than something thinner that you watch for action or antics. it doesn’t have to rely on filler it fills out the film.
I won’t lie and say this is the most exciting film, but it’s a nice down home story that entertains and grabs you as it goes along
Cast: Samara Weaving, Karl Glusman, Andy Garcia, Steve Zahn, Marshawn Lynch, Jermaine Fowler, Mike O’Malley, Randall Park, Chris Bauer
A reformed teenage getaway driver is dragged back into her unsavory past when a former employer offers her a chance to save the life of her chronically unreliable ex-boyfriend.
————————————————————————
This film comes so close, but no cigar as it does play out like an Elmore Leonard story or novel. As it has the gritty details, the quirky characters and the down on their luck protagonist.
It also has a story that is set in the underworld of crime and a high story that doesn’t overreach and make it seem like this is the score of the century or will set everyone up for life but more just a simple heist that will help all involved get out of previous trouble and be financially lucrative .
Even though it is mainly a crime story, it does take its time to be a character piece for the main character played by Samara weaving and explain her character’s choices, upbringing, and mentality, which helps, especially when she is essentially in love with a screwup
The film has a great cast, but that is the problem while the quirky supporting character shine. We don’t really ever get enough time with them to learn maybe how they tick or just to enjoy them in general. It’s longer than blink and you miss them, but still not quite enough
Even Marshawn Lynch, who is usually comedic gold in movies here has the chance to create such an iconic character, and while he does, what is necessary, his impact isn’t felt the way that it should nor strong as it should. It feels here more like he scripted rather than where his strength is an improv.
Samara weaving as the lead is more of the straight woman, whereas she surrounded by all these crazy quirky characters so she lies at the heart of the film, and obviously the protagonist were rooting for .
The film stays surprising throughout as well as engaging with a surprisingly strong and down, tried ending of sorts, though it feels like there’s something missing to push it quite over the top to passable.
As it is a film, that is entertaining enough, but not quite not worthy to play with the others in its genre. It comes across his lightweight, even though it does have some heavy material. Maybe it’s just because of the story that it tells you want it to be stronger.
Even with it quirky characters it’s surprisingly violent and hard hitting, but it still doesn’t quite make it to Mark
As the film does have the juice and the ingredients and even the recipe, but the taste isn’t quite uproot or tastes fine but not quite special as you had hoped. No matter how it tries.
Cut To The Chase
