Another film gettign the concurrent cinema/Disney+ (behind a paywall) release date, this one is very much a throw-back to the days of yore: the most relevant comparison I can come up with, perhaps, is my understanding of what 'The African Queen' is like (never seen that film) in that both films rely on the star power of their respective leads (here Johnson/Blunt, as opposed to Bogart/Bacall).

Like Disney's earlier 'Pirates of the Caribbean' films, this is also - loosely - based on a theme ride: this time, the setting being a cruise down the Amazon. Like 'Pirates...', this also injects a fair does of the supernatural into the proceedings: I have no idea whether or not that is part of the ride, never having been to any of the Disney resorts.

I also have to say that I felt, at times, that Dwayne 'the Rock' Johnson and Emily Blunt came across more as bickering siblings rather than falling-in-love, and that Jack Whitehall's character (the brother of Emily Blunt's character) more-or-less faded into the background for a fair chunk of the movie ...

The PG-13 verison of a M game
Ive only played the 3rd one, when it came out so like 2011 or 2012. I never finished the game idk why, i just didnt. I havent played the first one or the second one either. Alot of people hated this film, i can see why. First of all what genre is this film surpost be? A action film, a horror film, a drama film, a revenge film, a gritty film, a thriller? I dont know its a mix a genres. Second the slow mo is good/bad, cause it was in the games it has to be in film right. Third the action is bad, someone was just shaking the camera the whole time.

The plot: After the murders of his family and his partner, maverick cop Max (Mark Wahlberg) becomes hell-bent on revenge. Teamed with beautiful and deadly Russian mobster Mona Sax (Mila Kunis), Max journeys into a dark underworld to find the truth, but forces -- both worldly and supernatural -- align against him, determined to silence Max forever.

Oh lastly PG-13 why?
