Bandit: Bandit Bandit (1994)
Bandit Bandit Bandit
After enjoying the first couple of Bandit movies years ago, I recently saw this one and figured it would be a good movie to also watch. Boy was I mistaken.
This was no Burt Reynolds, the Bandit, but more like Elmer Fudd chasing Bugs Bunny. While Burt Reynolds made the Bandit a very lovable rascal, Brian Bloom is pure ego and has no perspective of what he should be doing. Too much time spent talking to girls when he should be doing what Burt would have been doing.
This movie is more like a love/romance story between Bandit and Bandit (his ego). While there is a fair plot and it could have made a nice B-grade movie, the theme gets lost by Bandit's flirtations.
This Bandit keeps leaving you wondering what he is doing because most of the time he does not seem to be on track. This movie would have been better if he was after Bugs Bunny.
the Bandit acts like a complete fool, without any thought to anyone or anything. Bandit would have done a better job if he was really chasing Bugs Bunny
Earth's Final Hours (2011)
Could have been a lot better
While the theme is a great one and the movie does keep the suspense high. Too many times one has to wonder what is going on. Government cover-up is always expected and the Secretary is determined to save the elite few regardless of the cost (while maintaining his reputation). However, when Streich breaks Rothman out of the CIA's prison and they know they have been seen escaping, the trio sits down and chats until they are shot at. Shortly after, with the the FBI in hot foot pursuit of our escaping trio, Streich stops in the middle of the road to chew out his son giving the FBI plenty of time to catch up and back shoot Rothman.
Even the final fight scene, Streich does not indicate that not only is his life on the line but the whole world can be destroyed, but rather that he does not really want to hurt his boss.
