Heart of Stone (2023)
Fun and entertaining - the bad reviews are bonkers
This was a fun, high-energy, kinetic and well-executed movie.
No, the plot isn't water-tight, and no, the story isn't intricate, but it is entertaining.
Just like a James Bond movie it contains super-unbelievable technology, and quite a few "really?" moments. But it also has quite a few unexpected plot-twists, white-knuckle moments and some genuinely funny lines ("I believe she's ready for the field"). It also has quite a bit of heart and gets you involved in the characters (I really didn't want us to miss at least two of them).
The 1-3 star reviews just seem bonkers.
Go watch it with popcorn and enjoy!
Gemini Man (2019)
Much better than people say
With those ratings, I expected little, but this was actually *really* good. Smart, witty and with amazing action sequences.
Of course there are silly decisions here and there, but mostly the film plays with well-reasoned motivations and highly capable people, and a heartfelt core.
Young Smith's face isn't always believable, but the action is palpable.
Probably a 7.5, but with all the negative comments, I give it 8
Tordenskjold & Kold (2016)
Fun romp with serious underside
Enjoyed the movie quite a bit - don't understand the low ranking here. Fun romp, enjoying the juxtaposition of 1720 and present day, turns slighly more serious towards end. Definitely worth your time
