I Care a Lot (2020)
2/10
Trailer tells you everything
19 February 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I saw the trailer and learned everything I needed to know about this movie. Lady con artist tricks elderly into signing away their independence and picks the wrong old lady that is in some way connect to some Russian mob character. Was obvious there was gonna be some stupid scenarios in which the Russians try to intimidate this woman and in the end you don't like anybody. Movie setup makes you want to root for the Russians but they make the henchman/lawyer incompetent in a very movie like fashion where it makes no sense. They get to a point where you think the woman is gonna "win" in the end but then she gets shot by an emotional guy she screwed out of seeing his grandmother before her death. I guess the movie did a good job of making you dislike this chick since I was basically scrolling through to see the part where she gets her comeuppance and you find yourself rooting for her death. So I guess the movie did an ok job at making you dislike people. Also the main character is a Lesbian, while I didn't think it felt shoe-horned in like in a lot of movies/shows nowadays Netflix labeled this as an "LGBTQ" movie so it loses marks from me for trying to appear woke.

Know what you are watching.

This is a Michael Jai White film, do not expect and exceptional storyline or high quality....well anything. Watch this for its ridiculous nature, and Michael Jai White being over the top and some tongue in cheek action and dialogue that is laughably bad, to the point you can't tell if it's on purpose. Watching drunk is best.

Cut Bank (2014)
4/10
Believability kills this.

Warning: Spoilers
Decent film and acting and plot and everything but it just kills me that the main "bad guy" is a mediocre sized man that shows no particularly high levels of intelligence can out smart and out muscle people more clever than him and sometimes twice his size. He frequently overpowers/chokes people clearly much bigger and stronger than him with some type of ridiculous plot armor that it kills any thing this film had going for it, not to mention his very thinly laid out backstory that simply reveals he is kinda weird.

Decent revenge movie
1 December 2019
Warning: Spoilers
I think this movie tries to be a bit more than your typical revenge flick but it kinda comes up short. They really needed to make at least a little bit of an effort to make the revenge scenes more realistic. One of the biggest issues is the sheer size of the main character. If you are going to cast someone this small you need to do a better job of creating realistic scenarios where she kills these clearly stronger guys. Also her ability to avoid suspicion is ungodly.

Detective: You were the only person at the dead guy's house the same night he died?

Girl: Yes.

Detective: Why'd you come over?

Girl: To talk. He wanted to have sex, I didn't feel like it soz I left after a few min. he must've died after I left, that's so weird.

Detective: Alright seems good to me I don't need any more follow on questions, I think I'll go grow a beard now.

Expo (2019)
4/10
Very good at being bad
11 November 2019
Warning: Spoilers
This might not be the worst movie to watch while super drunk or something. I'd like to think the makers are intentionally making it bad with everything being so terrible. Make-up with the dudes face is hilariously bad at times when he gets punched several times and the cuts between are so wonky. The random glass sticking super far out of his face and the scares that make his face look diseased while they heal. Dude goes through several phases of going and getting beaten up by some dudes and getting fractured bones/facial cuts/scars that his neighbor/nurse fixes up real quick and he is fine the next day. Sex traffickers that put their own face on camera that is in the end revealed to be some other dude who has his face weirdly on experiments so he is totally identifiable in those video auctions but somehow isn't in prison already. I guess the main character is a driver and his clients are specialized in teenage girls that stand out in broad daylight to get kidnapped with no prior planning from the bad guys. Also the main character is a fat out of shape dude who has a training montage which consists of punching a boxing bag for 10 seconds which wears him out completely as his fat rolls are falling out of his shirt while doing so. Made for a few good laughs, probably not worth enduring the other stuff but ehh, what else am I gonna do.
