Cagefighter (2020)
Worst fighting film ever
Think all the good reviews are out of respect to Liddell. Appallingly bad film with no redeeming qualities.
Ava (2020)
Watchable though unoriginal and poorly cast lead role
One problem with this film is Chastain, though a good actor, is no action hero. She can play super powered Dark Phoenix though in this film she is trading punches with Colin Farrell and so such, very implausible.
Amazing cast but unoriginal plot, guess these guys are bored of this lock down and would take any role. The plot and script are more of a Scott Adkins caliber rather than these good actors.
The New Legends of Monkey (2018)
Netflix need a slap
Original was great, iconic stuff.
They could have done allot with this reboot but have produced another hercules type substandard drama, Monkey and pigsy dont look like their animals anymore. Netflix need to spend more time developing a good script and plot, ignore the feminist 'must be women in big roles' cliche and produce something that honors the original series,
Debt Collectors (2020)
Not enough action, no one here can act
I like Scott Adkins but he is a terrible actor.
This film is a little too short on action and they've made the mistake of trying to make Scott act a little bit. Maybe he should just replicate the better old van damme films (like bloodsport) with a few improvements, Van was also a terrible actor though popular in action films,
Scott is now 44 now maybe its time for a decent martial action actor, if there are any, to avenge the untimely death their father / sensei Scott.
The Great (2020)
A more historically accurate version could have been really good
Wish they had incorporated comedy and satire into the true history of Catherine the Great.
The writer focuses on the coup and Peter being a fun loving nincompoop. In reality Peter was a cruel, crazy man who despised both Russia and Catherine. The coup took place 17 years after their marriage, when Peter was openly supporting his homeland Prussia, whilst the 2 nations were at war.
Her true life and Peter's were allot more interesting than the fictitious nonsense they have produced. The writer should have stayed closer to the truth rather than cherry picking any event of her reign that took his fancy.
The Main Event (2020)
painfully bad
Avoid this film, watching it is literally painful as it is so bad. So bad that it makes me think i would be a good director as i could definitively done a better job of this.
