Warfare

A surveillance mission goes wrong for a platoon of American Navy SEALs in insurgent territory in Iraq.

It would be easy to say that this movie is pointless since there is no build up or story progression or whatever a normal movie layout would have.   This is really just a war movie about Iraq based on the soldier's memories on that one day when doing surveillance and getting attacked.   It was incredibly gritty and legit felt like it took you there.  And for that - I respected it a lot.   The cast was great and it would be very hard to watch this and not have a very high level of respect for what these soldiers do.

I would definitely recommend people checking this out.   It is a very good watch that like I said truly takes you there into the craziness and intensity of that day.

The Accountant 2

Forensic accountant Christian Wolff teams up with his estranged but highly lethal brother to track down mysterious assassins.

Who in the blue hell was asking for this sequel?  I quite honestly remember nothing from the first movie.  Like at all.  This movie was pretty much the same I believe.  Like okay action while watching but it is all forgotten 5 minutes after you are done.   Like it's really just kind of there.   Very confused about where the demand for this came from.

I wouldn't really recommend anyone bothering with this.   Unless you were one of the people that was hoping for this sequel to a very forgettable action movie.

Sinners

Trying to leave their troubled lives behind, twin brothers return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back.

This is a weird movie to review because I can't help but think that if it wasn't for Michael B Jordan and Ryan Coogler this would have been another waste of a vampire movie.   But for whatever reason I really enjoyed this movie which is even weirder because I usually find vampire movies to be pretty silly.   On top  of that this movie was way too long and usually that is also a death sentence for me but I actually enjoyed all the character development that they did to make you care about the deaths as they came.

I would definitely recommend people checking this out.   It was a very enjoyable horror movie and really felt like it took you to where they were.

Drop

Violet is a widowed mother who goes to an upscale restaurant to meet Henry, her charming and handsome date. However, her pleasant evening soon turns into a living nightmare when she receives phone messages from a mysterious, hooded figure who threatens to kill her young son and sister unless she kills Henry.

This was about as unsuspenseful as a suspense movie could get.   Between there being ZERO reason to care about the characters at all and the fact that the ENTIRE movie was in the trailer there was no reason to watch this movie.   Like none.  I actually got distracted from watching it for 10-15 minutes and when I got back to it it was legit like I had missed absolutely nothing.  

This movie was a big ass turd and a total waste of 90 minutes.   I wouldn't recommend anyone bothering with this.  

The Amateur

Charlie Heller is a brilliant CIA decoder whose world comes crashing down when his wife dies in a London terrorist attack. When his supervisors refuse to take action, his intelligence becomes the ultimate weapon as he embarks on a dangerous trek across the globe to track down those responsible.

This movie was very formula in every way.  Quite honestly you saw the movie by watching the trailer.  Like there is very little that they held back on giving away.  And the movie was definitely 20 minutes too long.  All that being said - it definitely was still a better than average and enjoyable watch of a revenge type of movie.

I would recommend people checking this out but just a heads up that there are definitely pacing issues that make the movie drag at times when it shouldn't.

The Woman In The Yard

Ramona becomes crippled by grief after her husband dies in a car accident, leaving her to care for her two children alone in her rural farmhouse. Her sadness soon turns to fear when a spectral woman in black appears on her front lawn, warning her "today's the day." As the mysterious figure creeps closer and closer to the house, Ramona realizes she must protect her children from the evil woman who simply won't leave them alone.

This movie was really nothing more than a psychological premise.  Thankfully it was super short because even though the premise was decent (and very true) it was beyond flawed in its presentation.   I don't want to say too much because it spoils it for anyone that might see it.   But it really didn't work because of the kids seeing the woman and this movie could not have been less scary if it tried.

I wouldn't recommend anyone bothering with this.   It is nothing more than a premise and the execution is awful.

A Minecraft Movie

A mysterious portal pulls four misfits into the Overworld, a bizarre, cubic wonderland that thrives on imagination. To get back home, they'll have to master the terrain while embarking on a magical quest with an unexpected crafter named Steve.

This movie was absolutely brutal.  I have always been a kid at heart and have always stayed on top of any kid related crazes.  Minecraft was probably the first one that I was like I am too old for this shit.  It felt like it was generated specifically for young kids with raging A.D.D. and I found it incredibly annoying.  This movie was beyond true to that feeling.   It was just ALOT and incredibly annoying outside of that very specific audience.

I would note recommend anyone bothering with this although parents with younger kids will likely be forced to go watch it.   Poor them.

Death Of A Unicorn

When a man and his daughter accidentally hit and kill a unicorn with their car, his boss tries to exploit the creature's miraculous curative properties -- with horrific results.

Wow.  Talk about a spiraling out of control movie.   This was weird as hell.  I am baffled as to how this cast was in what really amounted to a complete and total gore fest.   It was honestly like Cocaine Unicorn.   Very strange watch.

I really don't know that I would outright recommend people seeing this.   Like if you like gory movies sure but it was marketed as more of a mainstream movie and it very much is not.   

A Working Man

Levon Cade left behind a decorated military career in the black ops to live a simple life of working construction. However, when human traffickers kidnap his boss's daughter, his search to bring her home uncovers a world of corruption far greater than he ever could have imagined.

Literally just Jason Stratham 17.   Like the same movie it has been every time.  Only new thing was a scene where he fought someone using construction site materials.  That is pretty much it.

If you like Jason Stratham movies then this is enjoyable.  If you don't then stay far, far away.

Black Bag

When his beloved wife, Kathryn, is suspected of betraying the nation, intelligence agent George Woodhouse faces the ultimate test -- loyalty to his marriage or his country.

For a movie that was dependent on espionage and suspense, this movie pretty much had neither.  The acting was great across the board but there was like ZERO hook whatsoever.  This basically just made the movie a 90 minute snooze fest because you just don't really care.

I wouldn't really recommend anyone bothering with this.  Its a just kind of there movie that is not remotely interesting enough.
