Solitary Man (2009)
skip it
Not worth watching. Very slow movie about a man disintegrating.
Harper (1966)
Newman isn't Bogart
All the characters in this movie are dead ringers for various characters in Bogart movies. The problem is none of them are as interesting. On top of that the movie moves slowly. If you have nothing else to do and can't get to the ocean to watch waves this may get you through an evening. Even better, watch the originals, with Bogart himself.
Kill Chain (2019)
Save yourself, don't bother
I like Nicholas Cage, but man he has made some horrible movies. This is probably the worst. Uninteresting characters, no plot; an hour into an hour and a half movie and I'm still trying to find out why he is doing anything he does. There simply is no reason to watch this.
Game of Aces (2016)
turn back now
Let's see: An American flying for the British in the desert in WW1, a British nurse wearing stretch pants which didn't exist in 1918, and a downed German pilot. 23 minutes into the movie and the dialogue was already trite, the stereotyping of the American was old, and there was no sign of a plot. Save yourself; don't even start watching this.
The 51st State (2001)
If obscenity is your preference
If you watch movies for the obscenity, this is the one for you. The f word is used in nearly every line, sometimes over and over as the only word in a line. Another reviewer said this is common in certain parts of England. So what? I'm not in those parts of England.
The dialogue is terrible and crude, the scenes horribly contrived, the plot, if there was one, extremely thin. 15 minutes was all I could take. Skip this. Paint your SO's toenails. That will be much more entertaining.
Sherlock (2010)
impossible to watch
Even with the sound turned up as far as tolerable I can't understand a thing the main character says. No, I am not deaf. This was a waste of time.
Hollywood Homicide (2003)
Don't waste your time.
The purpose of a movie is to entertain, nothing else. This one fails badly. The dialogue is terrible. The movie is slow. The one good scene has a character never in the movie again. I could give you examples of why this film never achieves it goal, which isn't what you might think from the opening, but that would waste your time as much as this movie. Spend two hours watching clouds instead.
For the Love of Money (2012)
save yourself now
The description of this movie makes it sound lively and action-filled. In fact, it is slow, uneven, and devoid of character development. I kept wondering if the people in the film were actors. James Caan does a good job, but it isn't enough to save this. The ending is sappy. If you want entertainment, go someplace else. Don't even bother popping popcorn.
