This is Michael Caine laid bare
I have always been a fan of Michael Caine and I have seen most of his movies from Zulu to Harry Brown and a lot more. Its fascinating to read about his life and the way he spent the first ten or so years of his adult life looking for that big break in acting. Its hard to think that he was actually over 30 when he got that big break. From his upbringing right upto the present day (2010) he gives a frank and revealing insight into the life of an actor, both in front of the camera and away from it. What i also like is there is none of the 'oh look at me and see how much i earn' about this book. In parts it even contains guidance and information if you are trying to make it in the film and TV world. A great read and i did find it hard to put down.

Don't make me hungry. You wouldn't like me when I'm... hungry.
One of the earliest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) movies (2nd? 3rd? Google says 2nd), it's easy to forget that this is actually considered part of the MCU, what with the lead actor (Ed Norton) being replaced in the dual role of Bruce Banner/The Hulk in later MCU entries by Mark Ruffalo, the complete disappearance of Liv Tyler's love interest Betty Ross from any subsequent film - at least, so far - and little to no mention made of the Harlem final showdown outside the confines of the more niche TV shows (such as Daredevil) when they were still being shown on Netflix. Indeed, about the only through line onto the larger MCU is General Ross, who does appear in later MCU films...

Anyway, all that said, this is solidly mid-tier stuff: better than the Ang Lee version from circa 2003, sure, but not up there with the likes of The Winter Soldier or Avengers Assemble.

Some where between James bond and ethan hunt there is growing room for another action thriller franchise and if done right... a series of SAS movies could be it.

Although the movie felt more like a 007/Die Hard mash up, there is definitely something here.
Starring Outlander actor Sam Heughan as the protagonist, the story starts of simple by introducing the antagonist portrayed by Ruby Rose (John Wick 2, OITNB) then quickly implementing further possibilities making you seek answers and guessing throughout.
Focusing on the protagonist's combat abilities to begin with then pushing forward with intensity.
As an underground train between England and France is hijacked by a familiar face , there's only one passenger ready and willing to fight back and drop e'm (inside joke haha).

The close combat and the armed combat scenes are on point, the plot was nicely played out and twists and turns were in every corner.

Not quite in the same league as die hard, lethal weapon, mission impossible etc but it's on the right track.
