It has an excess of exposition which breaks the first rule of movie making - show me don't tell me. They could have condensed the entire movie into a 45 minute episode of a streaming series without losing anything of narrative importance. Borrowed too heavily from other stories to have a good plot. Use of various camera lenses for scenes was... Over the top, and out place. Honestly, made me bored. A lot of elements trigger your curiosity at the beginning but end up not delivering at all. Very painful since your curiosity keeps you watching until the end of this borefest. Also Very generic feeling sci-fi flick that didn't do anything new and didn't do anything existing in an interesting way.

Flat and unclever. The characters' actions, reactions, and choices are so cartoonist illogical and counterproductive that they're unbelievable. The plot is rushed and no time is allowed for the viewer to connect. The cinematography is great though. The acting is great as well. It's simply a weak and obvious story that was poorly executed. For me it más kinda like... I'm bored, I like sci-fi, I like sci-fi in space, I like battles, I like battleships and robots, this looks interesting. The movie didn't feel bad it just feel too cliche at times. Do I hate it, not at all. Do I love it, not at all either. But if you ask me if I rather rewatch the movie again. Really felt rushed.

"Richly drawn character portrait", "beautiful to look at", even plenty of people saying the main character hardly has any dialogue when he has plenty. It's a pretty drab-looking film (I understand it has a grey and blue thing going on) with a now-standard "hitman gets double-crossed" plot where the main character is just your standard stoic dead-eye who isn't even a very good hitman. If you're into French films or just checking out "classic" cinema, you might like it. Otherwise, it doesn't hold up. There are snippets where the movie begins to explore its potential, but a staggeringly dull main character and pace cloud the vision.

Was really hoping to enjoy this one, but unfortunately it did not click. I love classic films and age, for the most part, is not an issue, but this one felt dated. Alain Delon doesn't execute the "coolness" that Melville is trying to go for. The cinematography and tone of the movie is bland. I feel like there were good ideas here, but it didn't mesh into something that could've been great. Sadly, It was quite boring. There are other films that have done this story better, but I do respect this film for its influence. No idea what the fuss is about with this film, nor what all these reviews are going on about.

This is an exploration film and you should walk into it knowing this, gore, stupid lines and a lot of violence its what you will get. A vigilante story, a theme that has been explored in better movies such as Death Wish and Taxi Driver but now with a Hobo in the lead. The film is pretty uneven, obviously it's the type of movie you will enjoy more with a couple of friends and a lot of booze, but the movie takes it's time, almost 30 minutes for things to start going crazy. There is an attempt at character and world building but with such bad performances and idiotic dialogue you just won't care. After those 30 minutes you will find what you were here for initially, violence, gore and one or two funny one liners. The visual style its full of neon colors and saturated hue, which has been done so much lately that it just feels generic. The movie at time tries way to hard to be funny.

Directed by Neill Blomkamp and based on Jann Mardenborough's story, Gran Turismo is a action and motorsport movie. The films stars are Archie Madekwe, David Harbour, Djimon Hounsou and Darren Barnet. The main character, Jann Mardenborough played by Archie Madekwe is young gamer who will try to become a racing driver but . The films tells a story of a young man and his dream is to be racing driver but this is not possible financially. He likes to play Gran Turismo, he is very good and one day a tournament is organized. The 10 best player can become a professional pilot. He will be selected and he is going to give it his all to get into a stable. The plot is a little predictable but despite that it's gripping and it's easy to get into the story. The film is based on a true story and is very impressive. The special effects are outstanding, and the accidents and car races are very realistic. The photography is impressive, the quality is breathtaking and the shots are incredible and very beautiful. The acting is powerful and very touching in some scenes, and the actors manage to give to spectators emotions. The film is written simply but effectively, and we experience many emotions like joy and sadness, and the character's car races make us feel the pressure. To finish, the film is great for relaxing and watching with friends, you dive in very quickly and the pace is fast and you don't get bored.

The Horizon series is so boring and stale like omg. The graphics are NOT outstanding. The same Ubisoft-style gameplay over and over again.

Why would anyone buy this when Monster Hunter exists?!

Save your money and get Tears of the Kingdom instead.

Was considering purchasing. But hearing the rag doll combat complaint cinches it as a no. Combat in the series is so repetitive. All machines no matter how big speed rush you. Physics? Nah. Lets pile some Hollyweird garbage in. Those weirdest thing playing this game. Just focus on the game please. Some of the worst, most heavy handed writing of the series. Weak characters, even weaker story, and PROFOUNDLY HEINOUS LEVEL DESIGN AND LEVEL DIRECTION.

They don't tell anything about it, like they actually don't know anything at all. Should be called "50 shades of Ferrari". Lmao. First 10 minutes you know it's just going to be an awkward attempt to meet non car fans and car fans in the middle, and appease neither. It's not Ford vs Ferrari good, but then it's a different story; an interesting biopic for that time period in Enzo's life. However, I found Adam Driver's pretty poorly executed Italian accent distracting at times. Conversely, the stoicism and portrayal of Enzo's well documented absence of concern for his drivers vs his preoccupation for his cars and racing, excellent. Shailene Woodley's accent or should I say, lack of an accent, made it very hard to take her portrayal seriously. The interaction between Driver and Woodley's characters was also less than moving or memorable. Penelope Cruz's performance, however, throughout the film, was the most stellar aspect of the story, from her spot on accent to the emotion displayed - you could feel her angst, sadness and pain.

I would hardly call this a thriller. There was lots of pointless running around and yelling. All the characters were behaving contrary to their best interests. MILD SPOILERS -- the kidnapping made no sense to begin with. Not only has this movie NOT held up well over time, it's that predictable Polanski / Coppola trap where they get so wrapped up in this pseudo-profundity of 'storytelling' that the story is barely an afterthought. They trip over their own feet - oops, their owns egos & the rest of us, for some reason, are never willing to say, "the emperor has no clothes." A young shirtless or naked Harrison Ford _almost_ makes up for it. Frasier references: 1. Star Trek references: zero.

Me thinks it's the production company working the ratings. Don't watch - there's a better way to spend a couple of hours. Nothing else is going for this completely predictable and soulless slow burner. Quite surprised it got very decent reviews from many! However, this movie was a big disappointment for us. His acting was excellent, but the plot was extremely weak. It was very slow moving initially. Eventually, it got into a lot of shoot up scenes, but due to the weak plot, and some unrealistic incidences, I would rate this movie, one out of five stars. HUGE plot holes. Like when she finds the disc, she FOR NO REASON hands it to Charlie before leaving the exit. It makes no sense. She would have just exited. Then while holding the package (with the disc), Charlie FOR NO REASON walks across the room in front of everyone to give the bad guy a chance to sneak up on him from behind. It's all so heavily contrived and poorly written.

An otherwise entertaining movie gets derailed by an absurd and unrealistic ending. The leads have absolutely no romantic chemistry throughout the whole movie, yet we are (spoiler alert) supposed to believe that the young, smoking hot Marcie Kramer has all off a sudden decided to ditch her dream of getting a teaching position at LSU to run off to Italy with Charlie Swift to pull an "HGTV" style renovation of a villa in Tuscany. He not only looks to be twice her age and more of a father figure, but it's all so ridiculous and predictable. Could have been a solid popcorn flick but ends up being straight-up pablum.

Might be the worst movie I have ever seen. I felt like I was watching the college thesis from a C- film student. The lighting was horrible. The story was boring. The characters have no depth. The filmmaker gives us no reason to care. The positive reviews from the critics are mind-blowing. How could anyone actually enjoy this? There is nothing about it that is interesting at all. It is extremely boring. Everything in this movie is boring. The plot, the acting, the settings. Absolute waste of time. I was very disappointed to see the high reviews- the only reason I went to see the movie. I found myself personally struggling to engage with the movie. It wasn't a matter of any inherent flaws in the film; rather, it just wasn't a story that resonated with me or captured my interest. I spent most of the duration on my phone.

He's been in prison and now has a son Noah (Asgar Hansen) whom he doesn't really know, nor Noah him. Police agent Helle (Birgitte Hjort Sørensen) needs him to finally nail the kingpin of the Copenhagen underworld who has eluded her time and again - Muhdir (Soheil Bavi), a powerful drug lord. In exchange, she promises him a release from prison so he can have a life with his estranged 7-year-old son. Only the two of them know about the deal and as far as the police are concerned, he's a thug in a gang. He's been supplied with trackers and recorders to get Helle more evidence that'll bring a definite conviction.

This second one doesn't seem sufficiently thought out or worked out. On the other hand, there are some scenes with blood and violence that seem authentic enough to be well made, and several of the visual aspects are far above the average in Danish films. It's always something.

So is the film at least a psychological thriller that explores this - on paper - intriguing split in the main character, Zaid? No. The film is a long series of scenes that don't really connect. Then there are a few scenes where the villain seems very composed and never becomes scary, people swear a lot and talk at each other's mouths, and then Zaid hangs out with his son a bit and is awkward. It's at least 20 minutes too long, and all scenes run longer than they can handle. And then the ending is incredibly unresolved. I would LOVE if this was something as rare as a Danish action film, and even a credible one, because I almost liked the etter.

In the end misses the mark in some aspects making it hardly to blindly suggest watching it. It has a great atmospheres. The dark, raw setting fits the theme of revenge well and the acting is good too. It's clear what motivates Zaid, but his transformation into a Punisher-like character, dressed in black and riding his motorcycle trying to find his brother's killer, isn't completely convincing. There's also a kickboxing montage which feels out of place. There are also moments during which the people he is chasing fight back, which also don't feel completely logical. So it's a film with some script issues, but if you can ignore that, this is an atmospheric title which its relatively simple revenge plot offers enough tension and action to see it at least once.

It's a classic "ordinary guy seeking vigilante justice" story, but I think it spends too much time on the "he's just an ordinary guy" setup rather than the "but he can turn into something different when pushed" payoff.

I think I went in with a bit higher expectations than I should have. There are a few really good scenes here and there, but it's unfortunately the minority of the movie. Despite following a tried-and-true formula about an upstanding member of society driven to violence after the death of a loved one, Darkland nevertheless feels fresh enough to be worth a look. The shimmering, neon-lit city makes for a gorgeous backdrop, and the cast deftly shoulders the emotional weight of the narrative without skimping on the action that audiences will be looking for.

How so many people with so many dramatic and criminal twists to their lives come together in a barren desert is hilarious. How this got a 5.9 rating is beyond me. Anyway, the first 70 minutes are exactly my kind of bitter, cynical thriller with a rising count of secrets and dead bodies. Six people (and a baby) stranded in the middle of the desert, all keeping a sinister truth from the others (even the baby is hiding something, most likely). The third act gets lost in a maze of twist and reversals and loses track of what makes the movie awful , There's like two different ideas here- the first half of a murder for hire cheating spouse gone wrong and being deserted in the desert is decent. When the survivors make it out, that's where gets wonky. Too many "twists" and coincidences with generic action and tough guy egos. Totally different movies but it had too many twist.

The cinematography, sound design and moment-to-moment acting is fine, but this film lacks the conviction of Kiyoshi Kurosawa's more lauded works. The characters are odd and almost never react appropriately to what is going on. Several plot points seem promising but lead down frustratingly short paths. I had hoped the overall weirdness was all in service of an interesting big reveal, but the explanation we get is so broadly ineffectual it exposes the rest of the story as a puzzling, rushed mess. . It was entirely driven by stupid people doing stupid things in service of all the plot contrivances. For instance, the main character...who we are told is this renown detective and an expert in criminal psychology, having already remarked to his wife how odd and creepy the neighbor is, is met by the neighbor's daughter and flat-out told a key detail about what is going on and his response is..."That was weird." And he does nothing else about it! Any sane person would have called the police and the movie would have been over! I wish I liked this more, but I gave it a 3/10.

This is a prevalent pattern that I am seeing in films that struggle to entertain - lack of characterization that, perhaps is indicative of a rushed script. If the characters are not complex or engaging, the story does indeed become tiresome. As they always say 'ain't on the page, ain't on the stage'. This one didn't catch me. Why was everyone after Pav? She didn't see the robot kill her brother, only saw his body and the robot standing nearby, easy for the corrupt cops to claim she's lying or misremembering. Instead of just dismissing her testimony - which must have been something they were expecting to have to do at some point given the robots were running around with lethal doses of PSYK in syringes - they ended up gunning down all these extra people and places and causing no end to the amount of extra paperwork needed.

Not to mention the 14 year old girl just lost her brother, and didn't seem all that upset about it. Maybe I don't understand grief, The special effects and acting were all decent, but the script just fell flat for me.

This movie is incredibly mind-numbing. Aquaman himself is the single most annoying thing in it. They took a stoic superhero and turned him into a bro who spews sophomoric-humor every two minutes. It's incredibly irritating. Then there's the matter of Aquaman's antagonist. In one scene, they are a group of scientists diving into the deep waters of Antarctica and discovering an artifact, and in the very next scene, they are gliding through the waters in a super-advanced technology submarine-like vessel, raiding Atlantean vaults for orichalcum deposits. It's incredibly moronic. This is one movie that I watched out of morbid curiosity to see how it would end, all the while wishing it would rush to the conclusion."

Noticed a small detail on the movie poster; it shows Pim (actually Ploy) on the right and Ploy (actually Pim) on the left however the letter E that symbolizes the twins is actually facing the opposite way showing the plot twist of the movie that Ploy was alive the whole time and Pim was already dead. The one who is alive in this twin is the real evil, she killed her own twin by suffocating it coz of jealousy and killed her own mother. Gotta say, I really love the Ghost seems like your typical evil/malevolent thing hurting others, but turns out they're going after their murder(s) as the story explains things. Its slow packed really.

Pike is great, but the movie never coalesces around a coherent idea of who Colvin really was outside of vague ponderings about her wanting to do good and something about trauma. One feels that the real Colvin deserved something better. I nearly fell asleep watching this snoozer of a biopic. Director Matthew Heineman's war drama biopic of Marie Colvin entitled A Private War is a terrible film. Rosamund Pike cannot save this movie to be honest. Heineman does not know what he wants to say as a message. I think he wants to honor Colvin's bravery as a war correspondent, but A Private War does the opposite as it demonstrates how she was a reckless fool, The film skips around various combat zones and says nothing with so much footage. It's also a horrible portrayal of her character as she just smokes to the point of ruin, drinks to the point of alcoholism, and selfishly risks the lives of those around her just to get her story. A Private War really feels like Marie Colvin was a shameless glory hog bound for oblivion. Rosamund Pike delivers a solid, transformative performance, but the script gives her little to work with, honestly. She feels deluded to the point of being a raving lunatic striving for death in the field. A Private War fails to get you to care about this idiotic reporter, nor is it a flattering depiction. When Colvin was not needlessly injecting herself into war zones out of some self-righteous sense of somehow changing the world and defining history. There's so much coverage of war scenes that it forgets the movie still needs its heroine. It's all unpleasant, uninformative, and boring. You get no context for the wars she is covering and learn nothing. A Private War is always jarring. It's slowly paced. For only a 106 minutes movie, it feels like 3 hours. Robert Richardson's cinematography ranges from gorgeous with touching shots to bland and forgettable. Composer H. Scott Salinas' generic score is rather uninspired. With a more fierce score, A Private War might have engaged me a bit more. In short, A Private War is hardly worth watching.

I was struggling a bit because of the slow. The first hour, more focused on exploring the world and its dynamics, worked and hooked me. But from the moment the idea of family took over, the movie lost steam because it distracted from the social study, the exploration it promised. From the climax to the end, it's pretty weak. An interesting one. A very unsympathetic lead, although Mikkelson is never less than watchable, surrounded by pantomime villains. Some good ideas, a couple of good performances and a genuinely moving final 15 minutes. The villain is a bit over the top, but this is still a good "man overcomes the odds" film. Mads Mikkelsen continues his streak.

What 20 Soldiers couldn't do, a girl without knowledge of how to hold a sword did . Poor dialogue, uninteresting characters, and a flat setting. I recommend saving your time and skipping this one. The movie has the worst guion of a fan stash movie. A dragon who get fire with his own fire? Oh came on. There's some good and some bad about this movie. VFX and all the locations are amazing, but the dialogue really doesn't hit the mark. Most of the movie is just Millie struggling to survive cave living and screaming a lot. The few lines she does have fall flat. There's some weird pacing issues, but the overall story is fun and interesting. If there was better pacing and it didn't need a mini montage near the end to make up for that, it would be much better.

Movie is a bit confusing and there's some meandering + some loose ends that don't quite get wrapped up. (Jung Jin-young, Ode to the Goose) uncovers a link between the cult and the body of a young girl found dead nearby, leading both him and Park to suspect its shadowy leader. Meanwhile, Geun-hwa (Lee Jae-in, Adulthood), a teenage girl living in the village with her grandparents, struggles with a dark secret from her childhood, which seems to have something to do with the case and with an odd young man lurking around (Park Jung-min, Psychokinesis). Svaha: The Sixth Finger is very much a slow-burn mystery horror, Jang Jae-hyun taking his time in gradually revealing its secrets and the darkness at its core, with ambiguity being the order of the day. The film is densely plotted, switching between Park, Hwang and Geun-hwa, and though Jang doesn't exactly rush to develop the connection between their stories, the film is quietly gripping and unnerving, with plenty of last act surprises to reward patient viewers. There's a sombre tone from start to finish, with the cast all turning in understated and reflective performances, Jang making his characters all seem like they're all struggling with their own internal turmoil, be it spiritual or otherwise.
