Movie Rating Watch

This fairly generic killer thriller is one of those films where people keep doing stupid things that makes you yell at the screen. The wife is frustratingly trusting/thick and is of course sceptical of what the husband is saying , whereas the husband never thinks of contacting the police and keeps leaving the wife alone where he goes off to work despite knowing there is a potential killer lurking about. The clichés are well worn here and the lead couple are so bland and uninspiring I can’t even be bothered to look up their names, the film also has a soundtrack of loud jarring hip hop music which doesn’t fit and distracts from the mood and largely just got on my nerves.

Why I haven’t marked the film lower is solely for Dennis Quaid’s performance. He actually makes a surprisingly decent psycho and puts in a menacing and unsettling performance. He is clearly having allot of fun in the role as well. If you can overlook the flaws I have mentioned previously the film is worth a watch for his performance alone and I would certainly watch him again in similar roles, just hopefully slightly stronger material.

Kudos

Olympus Has Fallen: White House Down

The Purge: Election Year- is a good sequel to anarchy. Like i said before this one and two are my favorite out of the whole franchise. These two really define this franchise as a whole. Cause it adds more suspense, more thrills, and more purging. Plus Frank Grillo is back which is a plus. I really like his charcter, like i said before he is a anti-hero, he wants to save people, but at the same time he only wants to save himself. He is the only charcter that i actually like and care about because he has a story ark.

The plot: Roan is a U.S. Senator campaigning for the U.S. Presidency, promising executive action to end the annual purge nights. Former police sergeant Leo Barnes is now head of security for Roan. The New Founding Fathers of America's (NFFA) and their candidate, Minister Edwidge Owens, view Roan as a threat; under the pretense of regaining public trust, they revoke immunity for government officials, including her, on Purge night.

Its a really good movie, i like it alot.
