A more melancholic and weepy version of Me Before You in the lower middle class. Javier Bardem is excellent, there are some great ideas and some interesting dialogue, but it's primarily the strength of the premise and its existential overtones than how it's executed. The love triangle was like something cut out of a…

A more thoughtful, tense and overall more minimalist version of Civil War with a gradually escalating atmosphere in the style of Take Shelter. Technically outstanding. Great cinematography and editing. Superb acting, a shame some elements were left unexplained and perhaps the conclusion was too rushed given the…

A tribute to a difficult profession, which it's a shame doesn't have its own category at the Oscars. Fall Guy is certainly not popcorn for everyone, which is why it will have a difficult time with high box office and general acceptance. For the average viewer, it's far too loaded with references, innuendo and props…

Undisguisedly Hitchcockian. The script is very stupid, but what Brian De Palma spoils as a screenwriter, he makes up for mightily as a director. Plus, he's not afraid to use the skills of Ralf D. Bode and Pino Donaggio. More than one scene could have gone straight into the textbooks as an example of "how to slowly…

This hammy romp about a deaf and dumb killer who has to overthrow a totalitarian regime spares no expense with absurd scenes, black humour and incredible action that combines the best of The Raid with childish imagination and naivety. The self-parody sequences where the protagonist tells the story in a video game…

The turtles are just a passable one-off for me. It bothers me that it's too infantile, I would have appreciated a harder R-rating and a darker atmosphere. Megan Fox is still a top-shelf babe, the action is rather mediocre, but at least it's clearly and entertainingly filmed. The film goes by quickly, but the age range…

in the 90s Kickboxer was a hit and the fight movie of my childhood. I was curious about the remake, the trailer looked good, but unfortunately it didn't work out too well. The protagonist is not likeable enough, I didn’t like Jean-Claude Van Damme, I found him annoying, only Dave Bautista is great. The fights don't…

The protagonist moves to Los Angels to start a modeling career and, as everyone is impressed by her natural beauty, her career grows at a tremendous rate, which some of her competitors can not tolerate. The film has a slower pace, not much talking and there are some very long takes, but it's a fantastic cinematography…

I watched and liked Jackie Chan when his action movies were hot, but then I started to discover Asia (South Korea, Thailand, Hong Kong, Indonesia) and better fighters with better action came along. Jackie has always had action scenes combined with humor and nowadays I don't find that too much to my liking. After the…

A nice surprise and perhaps Jean-Claude Van Damme's best comeback since The Expendables 2. For a full half hour Van Damme rants about his career intertwined with an interesting story and solid action. Great stuff. If there are more episodes, I'll gladly bump it up to five stars.80%
