Traffik
This is a very good film. I’m glad that I watched the film regardless of reviews I had read. I feel that it’s a very good storyline to portray as there are so many cases of trafficking in the world. It shows the double standards that exist how can police and people of authority be allowing this to be going on. Not going to spoil anything but would recommend watching

Ultimately, The Act Of Killing acknowledges that while Oppenheimer may have subtly tortured their conscience, these thugs are paying no real price. But perhaps it’s the most apt punishment for a film buff to be convicted by cinema.

Slow burner
I read a lot of great reviews about this, but I found it as a very slow burner and I didn't always quite understand what was going on. I felt like I was missing something, the film was certainly missing something. I guess you could say there was an air of unease but that's it.

Not the Jedi film you are looking for
I had heard some very poor reviews before seeing it, but not from people I tend to agree with. You can't go too wrong with a star wars film, Phantom Menace aside. There are some cool fights and interesting storylines. However there are some scenes that were unnecessary, especially with weird little creatures that didn't fit. Sadly one big plot line didn't make any sense at all. It would have been nice to see a few more lightsaber duels, or Rey training especially for a long film. Overall it's an entertaining film but not great. Still prefer Rogue one over this.

Last section of the film
Not much X appeal
Put off watching this for a while after mainly bad reviews for it. It's definitely a bit strange for an X-Men film as it feels much like a teen horror. It reminded me of @The Ward (2010) as these mutants are held in a creepy looking hospital facility that's isolated.
Thankfully the cast does have some talent and Anya Taylor-Joy steals the light in her scenes.
Once past the slow and dull first half of the film it did pick up a bit for the finale. Most likely disappointing for X-Men fans but Horror fans might like it more.

Outstanding cast and dialogue
I won't belabour this review, I have nothing new to say that isn't already in these reviews.
The dialogue in this film from start to finish is top notch. The jokes, the put-downs, the nastiness, the crass-ness is all on-point and perfect.
While I hate a film not having an ending, it seemed to fit this film. It really was some people trying to get by and work out how they deal with the hand life deals them and not really moving on. The film tells of the journey of those people, and not where they end up.
The subject matter is very grim, as are some of the events in the film, but it is told with enough realism and so wonderfully acted as to give it all the gravitas it needs, but also to cut through that at times with dark humour.
A brilliant film.

Good Cast
I decided to give this film a chance after hearing a mixed bag of reviews. I thought the storyline was good and it had a good comedy aspect to it that wasn't too over the top. However, I've never properly watched the original series and feel like this may be part of the reason I liked it.
