How it ends? It doesn’t!

Most disaster films nowadays are made with the notion of concentrating on the story arc of the characters and don’t feel the need to explain the reasoning behind the disaster.

This film is no exception!

For a road movie it is fantastic. Lots of suspense and thrills built on trust issues and a road trip for a father and son-in-law who are trying to get to their daughter/partner, starting as two people who don’t see eye to eye and gradually becoming friends.

However, I was left wanting more from the final scenes and disappointed with the last frame.

If you’re stuck for something to watch on Netflix then give it a go but remember that nothing will be explained (and I mean nothing!!)

The show must go on...

This wonderful tale tells the story of Randy "The Ram" Robinson (Mickey Rourke) who was once one of the biggest names in the industry who now struggles with daily life but is still ready and rarin' to go on the pro-wrestling circuit. After a brutal beating, Randy hangs up his tights, pursues a relationship with a stripper (Marisa Tomei), and tries to reconnect with his daughter (Evan Rachel Wood). But with that fire still burning within, prepares for comeback....

This gritty look at the reality of wrestlers from the past is a real eye opener, hearing and reading about their struggles after years of entertaining millions to be tossed aside when they can no longer commit to the performance is a humble experience and inspiration.

Some solid acting, good casting genuine tone.

Surviving the daily physical and emotional abuse was the norm for her and their children.

During this journey, healing and forgiveness allowed her and the children to be there for him when he needed them the most.

Enjoyed the final chapter of the Infinty Saga. Definitely a fitting end. (4 more)

Jake Gyllenhaal (probably spelt it wrong) is brilliant as Mysterio.

Very amusing! Daughter loved the quips from MJ.

No spoilers here... But the scene when spidey gets disorientated... Loved it! Very cleverly executed.

As usual: some great call backs to characters from precious marvel movies.

None. No criticism! (0 more)

Thank you Smash Bomb!

Received the DVD from Smash Bomb giveaway. Super pleased to have won it. Delivered really quickly as well.
The film itself... I watched it at the cinema and even though I'd already seen it, like most marvel movies, was more than worth another watch.
Storyline was great to finish off the infinity Saga.
Actors were brilliant. Especially loved Jake Gyllenhaal as Mysterio.
Enjoyed the callbacks to previous marvel movies and felt the film was executed brilliantly.
