I love this movie, Jake, who is a professional and absolutely a beast in this movie and also everyone involved did a hell of a job with the fight scenes and the action is well done, it's well choreographed fight scenes have me rooting for Dalton, even against the baddest of the bad.

However, having been a huge fan of the original I see similarities and also changes that I'm sure the producers thought would heighten the movie.

As soon as I saw a connection to the bookstore I knew it would go up in flames, I recognised the scene where the owner just looks down from her office to see the carnage below seeing that Dalton was there watching.

I saw Dalton take a good fighter bouncer under his wing and I knew he'd end up with the Doctor at the hospital.

The rest isn't what I thought it would be.

This isn't a remake it's a reimagined version and to take the name isn't fair to the original, it's a great movie in its own right and as Millennials never watch old movies anyway why bother?

I am just glad they didn't make the bar renamed the Double Deuce.

Ok, I'm the first to hold up my hand and say that after Taken Liam Neeson keeps churning out movies that are so so and usually his movies recently have been straight to video movies that are light on story and action.

This one however took me by surprise and was great. The whole cast are invested in the film and take the work seriously and that portrays to the screen well, Guy Pierce is great as a grizzled FBI agent fiercely trying to reconcile his past as well as doing what's right within the law.

There were a few unanswered pieces that could have been answered but all in all a great movie and I'm glad this one was light on the shaky cam.

What's bad to say about this game, nothing!

Granted the sequel was better than this first outage (rare as they are) but geez.

This game revolutionised the FPS genre forever and ever game since.

Whether it be the new Battlefield to the new Call Of Duty they have way bigger shoes to fill compared to the first modern, awesome FPS game and they, to my understanding have not filled those shoes, since.

Even in 2022 there isn't one to eclipse it, though yes you can say Modern Warfare 2 but this first outing lit the fuse that every studio making FPS games have stride for ever since.

If you don't own this game go get it and realise that the future was actually buried in the past.

I'll admit, I've been a fan or both Van Damme and Lundgren for over 30+ years but my god how far they have fallen to put out this garbage is beyond me.

Granted Dolph has very little screen time but Jean Claude must have needed the money for sure.

Hell he couldn't even simply park a damn car without using a stuntman for it at the 6 minute mark, geez dude.

Do yourself a favour and find anything on YouTube as it'll be more entertaining than this crap.

The stars of yesteryear should have stayed out of the spotlight, it's has dimmed everyone's view of them.

If Hollyweird believes this to be satire then they certainly have jumped the shark. It's boring and I'm on my second time trying to get through it even at 58 minutes. If an asteroid really was coming and this was the last film on before the power went out I'd gladly die to never be able to see it again.

It's not entertaining, it's not ever thought provoking, it's just bland tasteless trash that deserves to be only on Netflix.

Also, someone please tell the still overweight Jonah Hill that he's even less funny when he's just pretending to be an asshole as he is in this movie.

I'm damn well sure if this garbage was in the cinema then it'd compete for the most Razzies given for a single movie and make a complete sum of around $6000 gross.

I wish I'd have done more reading. My god this is a horrible movie from start to finish and staying until the end with the tv still on was only helped with beer and whiskey. From the horrible acting, choppy editing from day to nighttime, the cheesy cliched lines we've all seen in films that had no known stars in them. Casper, yeah he makes on OK bad guy, apart from he just doesn't look menacing enough and seems as though he took inspiration from Dolph Lundgren school of acting. The fight scenes were horribly choreographed with no real punch to them though I do have to give credit for the son of the "hero" being able and willing to kick ass, something quite unexpected in a crap movie. So, that brings us to Ryan, oh how far you have fallen. Don't get me wrong I thought when you first started acting you were just another pretty boy acting tough but after becoming hooked on Shooter you changed my mind, I just wish it had ran longer. However with this movie I'm thinking you probably starred in this hack fest to possibly pay a mortgage, taxes or your agent but then you also threw your name in as producer as well. Come on dude, you're better than this.

I truly do love all movies, they all have something to offer and I've seen a huge amount. There are however three movies I've stopped watching after about 30mins, first was sliding doors with Gwyneth Paltrow, jungle 2 jungle with Tim Allen and now this piece of rehashed crap that was given a green light by the production company, why is anyone's complete guess. Don't get me wrong I do love Michael Jay White in anything because the guy can act and most importantly fight well but it has to one, have a story worth telling and two, be original. The description puts this as a "sequel" to the original with Jean Claude Van Damme but no, it's a complete rip off of the story, the scenes are nearly play by play and just adding African Americans to the story does not make it new. Hence, go woke, go broke. That and Michael Eckland (whoever the F he is) is by no means near the ruthless bad guy that the late Powers Boothe was able to bring to screen. To be honest, do yourself a favour. Do not spend money and more importantly time watching this. I watched Range 15 yesterday and would rather watch that on repeat for a week straight than sit through the rest of this crap and Range 15 was cheaper to rent.

This movie is self aware, funny and totally fun to watch. It's a horror movie that's not a horror at its heart. It's a coming of age story with a horror overtone and to watch Samara Weaving in the role is a sight to behold, she steals all the scenes she's in.

Where do you start? It's like a car crash that you know is going to end badly but you watch anyway. The acting is ok but the premise and story are horrendous, it's hard to follow at times, what's with the black seeping out of the extras and who's go to those lengths to get revenge? Just doesn't make sense.

This is just another gangster movie, nothing different from anyone from De Niro to Scorsese. It's an ok movie if you like De Niro doing a ton of voice over to keep you interested instead of the actual acting.

A big no from me, just nothing new.

I'd heard all the bad reviews about this game and when I picked it up for $19 I wasn't expecting much. That said I've grown to love it. The gameplay is a little repetitive but the graphics, scenery and playability is pretty good even though a little repetitive. I'm sure it has its flaws but as a whole it was well worth the price of the game.

The stories for the show have so many twists and turns that you'll be guessing until near the end to figure out who the killer is. The effects for the kills are gruesome, original and well filmed whilst being practical and realistic, anyone who's squeamish may want to hide behind the couch. The cast is great and some of the cast return in other seasons but as different characters and their acting prowess really shows. Can't wait for season 14, yes I'd wait and still watch until then.

I'm a big fan of Taron Egerton as we are both from the North of England and this was an enjoyable movie to watch. Forget all the Robin Hood stories of old and watch it for what it's worth, an escape from reality and a great way to spend 2hrs. Taron and Jamie Foxx bring humour, excellent archery skills and a great dose of action to the movie that sold it for me. Personally, I wouldn't have called it Robin Hood as it is only loosely based on the character and instead made it as a movie about injustice and greed that not happened back then but still happens today.

My reason for the low rating is Andrew O'Keefe. My god he's annoying and difficult to watch in anything, even in his stint during weekend Sunrise had me turn off. Of the 20+ million people in Australia he's picked for TV? He cannot talk without his hands, waving those things wildly with every word he utters and his far left views are not what is needed on TV, at all. Apart from that, when contestants on the Chase are trying to answer questions his delivery and inability to control his monkey spankers I'm sure makes it hard for them to answer correctly.

I went into this movie with an open view. Being a big Scott Adkins fan as we are both from the UK and we both ride Triumphs, him in the movie and me in real life. I've been a long tome fan and have been admiring his work both in the Asian film market and the Undisputed franchise though I'm torn with this movie. Yes it could have shown his athleticism and acting prowess more than it did as I know for a fact he is capable of more and I would have loved to have seen his fight with Michael Jai White expanded more and felt that Michael was holding back through his scenes against Scott as to not show his own skills as much as he could have. That said it was an entertaining film with some good acting and Ray Stevenson brought an awesome character who I actually liked to the screen though I'd have loved to see a final fight with him in it. Overall I liked this movie, yes it has flaws but as a whole I'd be totally stoked to add it to my collection. I won't lie, Scott Adkins when given the chance can act well and can kick ass with the best of them, truely a way underrated actor in Hollywood and worthy of a shot of fame way larger than he has now.

So, I watched this movie after getting a text from Netflix to say it was up for viewing and boy am I glad I watched it. Set in America where the Yakuza have taken somewhat of a hold it has a vengeance story but with characters who are pivatol to the plot. There's the romance subplot as well as revenge and honour and the acting is really well done given that it seems like a less than blockbuster budget has been given for the movie. The star is believable and acts well and I would not like to come up against him in a fight. My only gripe is that the effects could have a little better but overall it's a great action movie with some great fights and worthy of the watching time.

I watched this movie expecting monsters galore and soldiers all up in arms trying to stop them. However the movie really isn't about that, it's about loss and the feeling of really losing soldiers you were entrusted to protect as a leader. The "monsters" seem to be the humans in this movie and the actual "monsters" are just innocent creatures moving across the landscape which poses the question as to are we the monsters?

I personally love this game. The graphics are 5yrs old now but I dare you to tell the difference from a game made today, yes Forza 5,6 or Forza horizons 2,3 do come close but wow this game still stands the rest of time. The shading, the backgrounds and the attention to detail of the characters and voice movements is an easy point as to the intention to make this a stand out game for the Xbox One when it released. Yes, the gameplay is lacking and the hack and slice use of the controller buttons does get boring and repetitive but is equally replaced with the gory dispatching of foes in your wake. The story is well done and the mystical element gives it a different angle to most Roman stories. Apart from the story being a little segmented at times but it does hold your thought and sometimes just feels like a movie that you're part of playing instead of just a game. I know that these days the game can be picked up for next to nothing but yet I still don't have an qualms about having paid full price for it. Basically if you see it at a great price pick it up, you won't be disappointed.
