Rage Inside: A Mysterious Man
Jack Reacher- is a good movie, it has a intresting plot, good action, good suspense and good thrills. It seems like their just wasted the support cast like Richard Jenkins, David Oyelowo, Rosamund Pike, Werner Herzog and Robert Duvall. Jai Country was a great villian and he didnt ruining this movie.

Other critics aka Screen Junkies, Jeremy Jahns and Chris Stuckmann say that Jai Country ruined this film, A Good Day To Die Hard, Terminator Gensyis and Suicide Squad. Those movie were already ruined since the start. With Die Hard, we didnt need anything one, with Terminator, it was the second trailer that gave everything away and Suicide Squad it was Jared Leto, so screw them. Their were wrong. Anyways...

The plot: One morning in an ordinary town, five people are shot dead in a seemingly random attack. All evidence points to a single suspect: an ex-military sniper who is quickly brought into custody. The man's interrogation yields one statement: Get Jack Reacher (Tom Cruise). Reacher, an enigmatic ex-Army investigator, believes the authorities have the right man but agrees to help the sniper's defense attorney (Rosamund Pike). However, the more Reacher delves into the case, the less clear-cut it appears.

I liked Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher he was really intresting as the charcter.

This movie was good, but does have its downfalls.

Thor: The Dark World (2013)
2013 | Action, Sci-Fi
The departure of Kenneth Branagh and the subsequent trouble finding a director landed Thor: The Dark World in hot water before filming had even commenced. Helmed by Alan Taylor who went on to direct Terminator Genisys (oh dear), Thor: The Dark World is one of the weakest films in the entire MCU.

Plagued by a dull script and another phoned-in performance by Natalie Portman, it lacks the humour and sheer sense of madness that the god of thunder’s story requires. Christopher Eccleston also wins the prize for the MCU’s very worst villain – Malekith. May god help us all.

Sheriff Chuck vs. the indistructable
Before Chuck Norris was everyone's favorite meme, he actually made cool action movies in the 1980s.

This time he is pitted against a seemingly unstoppable superhuman psycho mute who killed his family and is experimented on at the local hospital. He escapes capture and it's up to Chuck to save us all.

The film is like 50/50 horror/action. His enemy is part Terminator and part Michael Myers. There is a decent amount of action and 80s gratuitous nudity to boot.

Probably not for everyone, but I likes me some 80s cheesy action.

"I watched it when I was pretty young. I don’t even remember how old I was. 9 or 10 or 11 or something like that. [Watching Terminator 2 for the first time also became] the first time I had feelings [towards] boys. The first crush I had on a boy was Edward Furlong. He was a punky little brat and was so cool. So rebellious. Rides his little dirt bike and hangs out at the arcade and steals money from ATMs. Hangs out with Arnold Schwarzenegger and teaches him about morals, and how to cry. “I know now why you cry. But it’s something I can never do.” [Laughs.]"

I thought Genisys was appalling and didn’t have particularly high hopes for this, so I was pleasantly surprised that this was actually pretty decent. Of course it’s not a patch on T1 & 2 but it’s miles better than the other sequels. The action is very satisfying and the film is much more adult, taking itself seriously and dialling down the one liners. The three leading ladies were all good in vastly different ways and I liked the Mexico setting. Sadly the weakest link was actually big Arnie (didn’t quite by him as retired terminator turned drapes salesman called Carl). It’s not perfect but it’s certainly a fun watch and largely atones for the sins of the other sequels.

2009 | Action, Mystery, Sci-Fi
Released back in 2009, this was - at the time - meant to be the first in a new trilogy if Terminator films.

This is the one set almost entirely in a post apocalyptic 'future' (2018, so - at the time of reviewing - 2 years ago), with Sam Worthington still riding his fame after Avatar (before seemingly disappearing), and with Christian Bale taking on the role of a grown-up John Connor.

The film, however, is probably more famous for his on-set meltdown/temper tantrum...

No Arnie - for once - and with a young Anton Yelchin (before his unfortunate demise) as Kyle Reese, this is actually better than I remember it to be, if not brilliant.

Finally a worthy sequel
After all of the other poor sequels since the original Terminator films, I hadn’t been holding out much hope for this one and had forgotten it even existed until the trailers popped up a couple of weeks ago. However this film was a massively pleasant surprise.

Right from the opening scene, this film knows how to pack a punch. This opening scene is so far away from anything I expected and it was so brilliantly done, the CGI in this was fantastic and starting this way really increased the nostalgia factor that seems to resonate through the entire film. There’s no doubt whatsoever that this film fits in with the original two and for me there’s no other way they could’ve pulled this off. We’ve seen before how badly other Terminator films can go wrong, but this doesn’t shy away from nods to the originals and it really works.

The first 20-30 minutes are non-stop action, and a great introduction to both the Rev-9 and Grace. The Rev-9 is a very good addition to the Terminator family, he’s rather creepy, virtually unstoppable and a seemingly appropriate transition from the T-1000. Aside from the odd dodgy CGI moment, he’s definitely a rather worthy successor to the T-1000. And then there’s Grace, a kick ass powerful female who is a brilliant and much better alternative to the male protector we’ve seen from the rest of the films. She’s played wonderfully by Mackenzie Davis who definitely looks the part. Having Grace alongside old hand Sarah Connor and newbie Dani brings a powerful trio of independent women who spend most of the film battling on their own, is a refreshing change to a male driven film.

Of course they are joined eventually by Arnie, who’s return has sadly been by the trailers. However his appearance in the latter half of the film is very much welcome, as he provides some great deadpan humour that is a little lacking from the first half, and also some of the emotional heartwarming side which was a pleasant surprise. Seeing him back alongside Linda Hamilton is a wonderful feeling, even if her Sarah Connor seems a little too OTT at times.

Despite the above, Dark Fate isn’t perfect. It has been entirely ruined by the trailer, which has given away a lot of the plot – I for one would’ve preferred not to know Arnie was returning, how much of a shock would that have been?! Also, I found some of the action scenes (especially in the second half) to be a little bit much and I wish they could’ve been toned down a little as they were almost giving me motion sickness! There’s also the fact that this film has blatantly been set up for another sequel and I’m hoping and praying that this isn’t the case. This is a very worthy sequel to the original Terminator films and whilst it doesn’t surpass them it sure as hell doesn’t let them down, and I think it’d be such a shame if they were to ruin the franchise again by bringing out yet more second rate sequels.

That detective, is the right question.
In the year 2035 A.I. robots are an every part of life throughout the world, working public jobs in place of humans with three rules, number 1 being to protect human life. Most people trust these robots except for one man, detective Del spooner who has a dark past involving robots. Del takes on a case involving a possible suicide of the robotics founder/creator and believes a human like A.I. May be involved.
With help of a robot expert, spooner discovers a conspiracy that may endanger the human race.

This movie has a dark tone, some great cgi work but a story similar to previous movies like terminator and Extinction.

Starring Will Smith, Alan Tudyk, James Cromwell and Bridget Moynahan.

Vin diesel stars a soldier who is K.I.A only to be brought back by a company who specializes in high tech body replacements/enhancements. The story starts of weak and eventually is knocked into high Gear which doesn't quite last, and unfortunately delivers another obvious villain.
 It's what I can only describe as a XXX meets terminator movie (which sounds better on paper) that's being dubbed as a universal soldier knockoff!?
The action scenes were perfectly done, creating a hard hitting thrill ride at times only to quickly slow down. Vin diesel is great in this, regularly appearing in his trade mark tank top but the movie is very anticlimactic which really doesn't help.
