Movies you've seen recently II

My wife went to bed with 45 minutes left the other night, and I re-watched the end with her last night...I guess I can see why you were disappointed?...

Spoiler

The movie has the exact same bones as Rambo, but we're in a different climate now. I was totally expecting this huge revenge showdown where he kills everybody, but there is only a little hand-to-hand combat. I can see why that's disappointing.

I think the movie is trying to make a point about asset forfeiture law, small town/police corruption, and I don't think killing a bunch of cops is the way to get the point across. In fact, the ending indicates it was just a few bad apples and the others got caught up. I think the packaging allows the points to resonate better and convince more people.

I agree, but wanted mire closure from the characters. Other than that, i really enjoyed it up to the last few minutes

Rebel Ridge (Netflix) is fkn awesome

Edit: apparently John Boyega had the lead role and walked away from production early in the process. Everybody's really quiet about what happened, and the director said it was best for everybody involved...so I take that to mean either he just really sucked for the part, or he's got some big problems.

I was going to say something similar. I don't usually like Netflix movies,but I thought Rebel Ridge was the right kind of action and acting. I actually enjoyed it.

Not trying to insult you, but if you rate everything 9/10 then it’s tough to put much confidence in your ratings scale?

That’s because copying and pasting is easy.

Watch The Son with Pierce Brosnan if you liked Godless.

Thank you, I will give it a try.

Rebel Ridge was good.

Knox Goes Away. 8/10. Probably should be higher when you consider the garbage coming from Hollywood these days. Still, this is very good movie. Michael Keaton and Al Pacino give it weight. Definitely worth a watch.

Thank you for the recommendation, I loved it. Pierce Brosnan was excellent in that role. I do have beard envy though after watching that.

Transformers: One. — 7.5/10. Animated without being cartoonish. Probably my favorite since Bumblebee. Keegan Michael Key was both great and annoying.
