The Railway Children Return (2022)
Enjoyable family film
I'm surprised at some of the low scoring reviews, and can only assume some people object to certain aspects of the story line.
The film exposes the racism, even bigotry, that was prevalent at the time in the US, and also in the US Army, as well as the illegal conscription of minors. The story is based around this, and while it exploits similarities to the original, overall this was a heartwarming, if a little far fetched at times (But then so was the original!) story exposing the tragic realities of the time.
Not the most gripping film, especially having lost some of the originality to the first, it is however a little more realistic and well worth a watch.
Probably pitched at younger viewers, but as a family film, it works.
Point of No Return (2018)
Amateurish, wooden acting
Very disappointing film. Could have been so much better with believable acting,. The stunts were so amateurish they would have been better left out. It really looked like a school GCSE project, not a professionally made film.
9/11 (2017)
Dissapointing
If you are expecting a film depicting the events of 9/11 then you will be very disappointed.
This film should be called 'Stuck in a Lift', because other than the fact it is set on 9/11 and the building subsequently collapses, it could be any high rise any city any time.
The characters are typical American stereotypes, so obviously chosen to try and make a film with about the dozen people in it interesting. A millionaire, a spoilt selfish brat of a wife, a very attractive feminist woman who just happens to be having an affair with an older man, a delivery guy and a maintenance man. hmm....
As for the plot. So ridiculous it's funny. The lift stops. Fair enough. But still has power and all the communications work? Then the cables snap and it falls I think 37 floors. But it stops at lobby level. Then more cables snap and it drops further. A door held closed by a solenoid, and a bolt closed escape hatch. Insulting the intelligence!
The acting is wooden and the script about as boring as it can get.
The title is nothing more than an insensitive link to tragic events to try and make a boring TV film plot appear more interesting, using the events of 9/11 to add some excitement.
It's all so so wrong...........
