The Hammer (2023)
Have the producers ever been to Tonopah?
If they had, they would have learned next to nobody there speaks with a Southern accent. (I live in Las Vegas so Tonopah ain't exactly on the far side of the moon.) I adore Reba McEntire, but the folksy witticisms her character spouted got older'n Grandad's dentures sittin' in the summer sun. A previous reviewer characterized this film as a Lifetime reject, and IMHO they were spot-on. Discard the overblown, 9- and 10-star reviews here created by bots and concentrate instead on the more middle-of-the-road and lower-starred reviews for an accurate assessment of this film. Or, go ahead and watch it, but you've been warned.
Purple Hearts (2022)
Shoots itself in the foot from the get-go
Setting aside all the political hoo-haa, let's look at the elephant in the room: the basis of this film revolves around a massive plot hole you could pilot a supertanker through. As in, we're supposed to believe the protagonists' marriage is "fake," when in reality it is completely legal--performed in a civil ceremony by a county official and sanctioned by the state of California. Yes, the motivations for the marriage were murky, and you knew these two crazy kids were gonna fall in love anyway; but their nuptials were legal and binding. Which also gives the Marine Corps zero grounds to court martial what's-his-name. This oopsie completely undermines the premise of the film (which my wife watched and I glanced at from time to time as I was reading). Oh, and yes, the lead singer's voice was annoying.
