Guilty at 17
8/10
An entertaining good drama movie with twists.
The movie does give a conclusive answer if the High School Teacher Gilbert Adkins is guilty or innocent of molesting the high school student Devon Cavanor which is what Devon Cavanor accused him of.
I enjoy this movie doesn't make it entirely apparent before the reveal if Gilbert Adkins is innocent or guilty of what Devon accused him of. The movie does give hints about the answer before the reveal.
The movie shows takes place in 2014 because Gilbert is talking to June using a video call shown on a laptop, also the cellphones had the same advantages as cellphones in 2014.
The actors playing High School characters including Devon, Traci, etc are all the right age because it's visibly believable that they are High School students instead of being like Scream, and other movies where adults that look more believable as college students are playing High School Students.
The climax has suspense and stakes.
The movie has multiple scenes that are well done for suspense. The antagonists are well-written flawed antagonists that have believable motivations for their wrong actions, and the protagonists are shown to be flawed well written likable characters that have achievable objectives with believable motivations.
The ending satisfied me, the twists are well done, good dialogue good acting, a variety of locations, any details that should be filled in do get filled in, stakes for the antagonists and protagonists, and the movie has great messages including telling the truth even if it's hard to do because it's the right action, and won't remove the irreparable damage of what has happened. Also, the movie doesn't have a plot hole when a protagonist delays using a usable solution.
Traci Scott is shown to be a likable flawed character which I enjoyed, and she is shown to be a strong female character that has agency.
June in this movie is mostly supposed to be a Sam Gerard-style character except she is convinced that Gilbert Adkins is innocent of molesting Devon Cavanor so her objective is to find evidence to prove Devon lied about Gilbert Adkins molesting her.
Showdown In Little Tokyo
10/10
A great buddy action movie that has 2 badass protagonists that are the Los Angeles cop Chris Kenner played by Dolph Lundgren an American that was raised in Japan, and his new partner Johnny Murata played by Brandon Lee.
Dolph Lungren is a Martial Arts Expert in real life so he could easily defeat foes with how Chris does in this movie, and he does have impressive upper body strength which is why I say he really could lift a car to change the position so that it's on 1 side.
Chris did an unforgettable perfect time punch and kick move at the same time with 2 Yakuza mobsters moving in the exact right area which will always be remembered as an unforgettable high bar achievement much like Raphel doing a spin kick that hits multiple foot soldiers in the movie (1990) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and multiple impressive achievements by John Wick in the 3 John Wick movies I've seen.
The movie shows Johnny and Chris are both expert Martial Artists since they do smash foes that are Yakuza Mobsters.
The movie does a great job at the show don't tell why exactly Chris wants to kill Yoshida becuase a valuable flashback scene shows the reason.
I did enjoy this movie gave a believable reason why the Yakuza Mobsters don't kill Chris and Johnny when they had the chance in 1 scene instead of the terrible writing cliche that is the writer failing to provide a reason why the antagonist or antagonists don't kill the protagonists.
The movie remains grounded in a grounded realistic world because Johnny and Chris being outnumbered by Yakuza Mobsters is a flaw they can't overcome for more than 1 action scene, the characters are using guns that run out of ammo, and why Yoshida the leader of the Iron Claw Clan kills a subordinate has understandable reason much like why Darth Vader killed a subordinate, and the portrayal of the Yakuza is accurate including a subordinate will cut off a finger because that's the price if a subordinate fails to achieve a task for a Yakuza leader.
The movie does a great job of showing Yoshida is a charismatic badass Los Angeles Yakuza Leader including he has no issues getting his hands dirty, is also a Martial Arts expert, and is a main antagonist that I wanted to see get killed by Chris since he is consistently shown to be a believable evil character including he has no remorse for the evil actions that he uses.
Yoshida has an understandable motivation for his main goal.
The movie has a variety of locations for action scenes, and the one-liners are entertaining. The pacing is fast since the movie shows an action scene very early and just moves fast since the protagonists are focused on achieving their achievable goal.
The climax is unforgettable with a high amount of action and does have Chris fighting Yoshida with both of them using samurai swords which is not unbelievable because they are in a location where Samurai Swords are in the area.
The movie provides a realistic understandable reason why Chris wants to achieve his violent revenge goal by killing Yoshida. Also, realistic mortality because the protagonists have obvious drawbacks from wounds.
I did enjoy that Yoshida fighting Chris is an entertaining final battle that has suspense much like Darth Vader fighting Luke Skywalker in Star Wars Return of the Jedi.
Minako played by Tia Carrere isn't just in this movie as eye candy because Minako is shown to be a good singer, also she could provide valuable testimony that Yoshida is responsible for murdering Angel.
Chris Kenner has unforgettable incredible feats for the action scenes, and since he does have great upper body strength which is why it's not unbelievable that he was able to lift a car to change the position of a car so that it's one 1 side.

This b*tch is just too stupid, I turned it off when she started drooling over his pic on her phone then went back to the house. I hope Pennywise drowned her in sewer sh*t.
Smile 4/10
Meh, super bad trailer made a sh*tty boring movie feel a little less sh*tty I guess. So yay?
Terrified (eD not eR) 6/10
Was pretty good and creepy till the last act when it became a CGI sh*t fest and the main guy suddenly forgot how to act.
