The Talented Mr. Ripley
The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999)
7/10
Decent thriller-esque, worth a watch
1 August 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Reminded me of Hitchcock and Frenzy.

Good actors. Interesting. Different. Surprising. Dark.

Long-ish. Stylish.

Don't need to watch again but I imaging it could be interesting with foresight.

Not the worst thing but probably not worth watching
25 January 2022
Not a short film. Wouldn't bother. But if you want something very simple then this would fit.

Basically a slightly more silly / comedic Indiana Jones.

Silly and funny. A rom com but not a traditional rom com. Would recommend.

Interesting and different but not brilliant
26 June 2021
Warning: Spoilers
A skit on zombie films but more like a 1950s understated absurd skit.

Not a bad film but I would only recommend to a certain type of viewer.

Part parody, Part over the top, zombie heist
21 May 2021
Just a little bit too rubbish to be for me to enjoy.

Gave up about half way through.

A bit too simplistic in its writing for me.

Good mix of nice visuals, good story, humour (especially slapstick)

Would recommend as a family film.

A cowboy saga
19 March 2021
Bit of an epic wild west gunslinger prospector saga. Well made and well acted. A bit different from the usual. I didn't enjoy all that much though. Would recommend if someone into that type of film.

Not terrible but not great
30 August 2020
Warning: Spoilers
A bit too long. A bit too gruesome (and unnecessarily so - felt a bit like being gruesome for the sake of it). Plot didn't seem especially original - recognised a lot from other movies. Well acted and well filmed though.

Very good - should watch
16 August 2020
Very well made and acted. Can be tense/ stressful to watch, but appropriately so. Important story and topic. Also very topical. Interesting, funny and engrossing.

Nice ideas, doesn't quite come together as a package in a film format, not quite worth watching

Worth watching, very honest intense footage showing a soldier's view

Worth watching, very honest intense footage showing a soldier's view

Shown with a non-judgemental eye on the realities.
