I have a lot of time for this genre of entertainment, whether it be a blockbuster movie or a searching tv series. It starts quick and gets you gripped like you wouldn't believe and so you keep on wondering and watching. However, it doesn't really materialise into something that you want it to. Or at least what I wanted it to. It becomes a bluff and a bit of a steal from the great film Interstellar. Everything we believe in is everything we can create ourselves. Bit of a poor ending to what could have been a great series but I suppose with only a few episodes granted they had to come to a conclusion quicker than would normally be necessary. Worth a watch. Not brilliant. Decent.

Very good film
19 October 2022
I was really enjoying this film but the. The ending is such a let down. You expect some kind of fireworks after everything but nope, not this one. Not sure how many will read this now as it is quite an old film but still you expect the plots to be a little better than this. The whole film has so much energy and scope to be a great like a Speed or Fugitive but it just fizzles into a nothingness and everyone appears happy with that. I am a realist and so some films do annoy me but this has everything to be the perfect "this could happen to you" genre going about. 20 years on and I'm still moaning haha.
The Suspect

Worth a watch

It's a great idea (previously we'll used albeit) and does get you thinking but it almost fizzles out as the series reaches its climax. Shame really but then again, is anyone ever content an ending. Haha. The acting is good and the suspense on occasion is gripping. I cannot fault the series as a whole and I do tend not to look for negatives but as I say, the ending sequence which begins to unravel from a couple of episodes from the end is somewhat dampening to my initial enthusiasm. There are a couple of shocks throughout and his diagnosis does make you wonder if he's really a psycho buy hey ho, I say no more.
The Undeclared War

Not THAT bad

In fact I actually enjoyed watching it in my spare time. The only issue I have is that the ending made no sense nor conclude what I've been watching. He got shot presumably by the noise of gun shot but then it ends. So..... what does that mean? It just carries on? Accept it or not. I am somewhat disappointed in this regard but otherwise a decent watch.
The Man from Toronto
(2022)
Good film

Woody never gets old does he. Was only watching White Men Can't Jump a few days ago. Such a great actor and coupled with Kevin Hart being as silly and funny as he always is, it's a good combination. Not as great as with Duane Johnson but still funny. Action packed, witty throughout and a decent storyline.
Sonic the Hedgehog
(2020)
Decent

It's good but not as good as some have made it out to be. I would've liked a few more throw backs. I know they did some of the music and how he beat Robotnik at the end but I think more throw backs may have gotten my age group more on board rather than being just a child's film..
Killing Eve
(2018–2022)
Whaaaaaat
11 April 2022
I don't for one second believe that is the true ending of the story. No chance. I haven't watched this religiously for that.... I remain optimistic because if not then that is weak and poor in my opinion after such a solid and brilliant series....
Don't Look Up
(2021)
Ironic and true

The irony and truthfulness of this film reals hits home. The powers that be are so ignorant to the greater scheme of things and so self obsessed with their own agenda's. It's a comical satire that raises issues we have as a society not just in America but all over the world. Love Jonah Hill but his character is someone I want to punch which exasperates the feeling people trying to save the planet now have. Point proven Leo and Co.
Red Notice
(2021)
Quite disappointed

Love Reynolds and Johnson but the mix just wasn't there. Oddly. I didn't quite feel part of the story and felt a little bit bored in some parts. Reynolds is awesome and so funny and Johnson is usually much better. Love him with Hart. This just didn't do it for me though unfortunately. Not the worst film, just not great.
Ok

It's ok

It's not the best you'll ever watch, but it's not quite as bad as some make it out to be. There are some scenes make you feel on edge, there are others that make you want to read a book instead. Worth a gander, just don't set your expectations bar too high and you may enjoy it.
The Pact
(I) (2021– )
Good

Surprised IMDb are allowing such sexist and borderline discriminatory comments and reviews about this series.
As far as I'm concerned, it isn't brilliant but it kept me watching. As, generally, a non-binger, I binged this whole series. What does that say....
It's a decent storyline but the story really is about friends and family and how they stick together when the going gets tough. Rather heart warming in some capacity and, agreeably, disappointing in others.
Definitely worth a watch regardless. Just stick with it and you'll become involved.

Not sure why so much confusion.

Ok so basically, the film is about human nature and instinct and what people really think when they really need to make a life or death decision. The ending is pretty obvious as I saw it.... He joins the rest of the victorious few and they will then be pitted against one another to have a final winner, hence why the alien craft was making its way towards them at the end. He realised that what he had done had made little or no difference whatsoever in what was clearly an experiment from a superior race. Good film in my opinion.
The Accountant
(2016)
Good film
22 April 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I really don't understand people rating this film so poorly. It's a good watch, interesting, good characters and a good storyline. My take; autistic boy gets hardened up by Daddy with the use of martial arts experts, becomes (stereotypically for an autistic person) an accountant. He finds himself embroiled in a situation with a mafia family and so uses these skills to kill them all and move on. Leaving no trace. Becomes employed by someone else who needs his help to figure out where money has disappeared to and again finds himself embroiled in a criminal world, only, the criminal seeking him down is his own brother.
Not quite sure what the point in the scene with the girl who doesn't talk at the end. Guess it was a solitude towards being imprisoned due to mental health when there are so many special things people can still achieve. He then goes off again after leaving some of his artwork with his fellow accountant and that's that. Not pointless. Good. Just didn't get everything. Maybe two watches needed haha.
