Great action scenes, especially the car chase (1 more)
Reynolds humour
Under the radar hit
This seemed to pop on Netflix out of nowhere and has got great reviews. One of the best Netflix films to date. A great action film with a fair share of humour but you expect nothing less with Ryan Reynolds in the lead role. A team of 6 come together each with their unique set of skills to kick ass to some bad guys on a grand scale. With a mix of action set all over the globe it feels like a Mission impossible film mixed with the A-Team. Definitely featuring one of the best car chases of any action film for many years. It's full on action film for almost the entire run time. Move this to the top of your Netflix list!

Clint Eastwood's latest one is having a somewhat polarizing effect for a lot of people. I liked it, and was entertained for the most part. Bradley Cooper and Michael Pena were drastically underused, and I had forgotten they were in the movie at times.
The film started out slow for me, and honestly, the part at the beginning could have been cut down considerably, and it still would have been cohesive.
I know one of the critic reviews I read complained about the non-PC situations, and, I guess if that bothers you, you probably wouldn't like the film in general.

Slowly updating the app and adding new content like video games
Essential for film fans
Well for a big film fan this is essential really. Whether it's film reviews, building a watch list, doing your own ratings or lists, as well as researching films and actors this is the main app for you. Glad they are adding more TV programmes and started to add video games as well. The more like this list is great as well.
The only minor downside is the pop up ads and not being able to edit your own custom lists on the app, you need the desktop site for that? Otherwise it's perfect.

More backstory
I hope there is another one
Contains spoilers, click to show
I see from most of the reviews that this film wasn't favoured but in my opinion I love back and origin stories. Alien to resurrection were how the Xenomorph species expanded and developed. This film and it's predecessor explore where the deadliest creature in the universe came from. I do hope there is another to link up with the 1979 Alien film.
I know with Alien franchise it's all about the horror and suspense but a story and plotline is important too. I am glad Ridley Scott did get the opportunity to fill in the gaps unanswered in the preceding films.
Bring on the next one, me want more!

I haven't played the games, of which a third is due out soon?! So I can only merit it as a film in its own right. Aware of poor reviews, I wasn't aware too much of the story behind the games, other than a cop who hands out his own rough justice. It was an interesting film but I think most expected a lot more action, or maybe more blood and violence. Instead it's more of a film noir thriller. The visuals are impressive, not just the cgi angels but the overall cinematography. The action gets better towards the end with a good shoot-out, but overall it needed a bit more throughout. A good surprising cast line up though!

Sep 23, 2017
Run of the mill Slasher
I had high hopes after hearing good reviews for this. Unfortunately it's pretty standard low budget slasher stuff. For a short film it's slow to get going and then just goes through the motions to an abrupt ending. The man playing Charlie is a beast to make Kane Hodder look small. The gore effects are pretty good. Feels very similar to the Hatchet films.
