Breaking Point (I) (2017)

Just plain awful

[1/10 · 23 July 2017]

I watched the whole thing. I really should have spent my time watching grass grow or paint dry.

I can not find one thing to recommend about this movie. The background music was annoying and at times resembled scratching fingernails on a blackboard. The narration was a monotone drone that went on and on but did little to advance the plot (plot???, why did I say that? I was unable to even discern a plot).

Bottom line, save your time, and if your at the Walmart movie bargain bin, save your money.

Rampage: President Down (2016)

Awful, 99 minutes of agony

[1/10 · 6 October 2016]

This is one of those movies that if I could give it a 0 (zero), I would. It consists of some of the most unbelievable acting I've ever seen. The characters just never develop into anything resembling real people.

If you want to watch political harangue, disguised as entertainment, this might be a movie you enjoy. But for a movie under the genre of action, crime, thriller; well, the only genre it fits would be crime, and the crime would be the fact that the movie was ever distributed in the first place.

Apparently this is part 3 of a 3 part trilogy. I never had the misfortune of seeing the other two parts, but judging from this film, I guess I haven't missed anything.

I would suggest that you save your money, time, and sanity. Go watch (or buy) something else.

All Is Lost (2013)

106 minutes of utter boredom

[1/10 · 22 January 2014]

There couldn't have been more than 50 words of monologue (there is no dialog since RR is the only actor in this movie)during the entire 106 minutes. That's probably a bit of an exaggeration, but seriously, very little is conveyed verbally. What you get is to watch RR busily trying to save his sinking boat, and after about an hour it gets to be quite boring. I watched it to the end, but wish I had spent my time doing anything else.

While totally predictable, here comes a boat, wave wave, shout, light a flare (in the daylight??) watch the boat pass and continue on it's way, there just is no excitement in this movie. You get storms, the boat spins on it's axis, RR holds his breath, but when all is said and done the movie just limps along. I can't believe RR felt the movie was award worthy. Maybe if he entered it in Sundance he could give himself some kind of award.
