Great Acting, Not so Gripping
This is a very good watch, but at the same time wont have you on the edge of your seat.
Its a fantastic true story about an ex marine whose denied disability money and takes it into his own hands not to just accept it. The acting is superb but don't expect anything too fast paced. Its a well drawn out story with great character development.
John Boyega and Michael Kenneth Williams give a performance worthy of an applause, as well as many of the supporting actors and actresses.
It felt very John Q but didn't give me the want to rewatch it - one watch and done for me.
Don't skip it though, as it definitely wasn't a wasted watch.
Evil Dead Rise (2023)
Not quite what we wanted after 10yrs of waiting
Was it good? I guess so....
Did it engage me and make me want to watch the digital release when its out? Not at all.
Opening was great - even made me respond to one particular scene out loud! (ouch!) but it gave me false hope.
After seeing a solid 7.3 rating before the cinema, I had HIGH expectations. I mean how often does a gore horror get more than 6.5??
I had no attachment to the characters - the main characters eldest kids chosen for their gender fluid image I believe...and ended up a bit bored.
A fair few LOL moments - not what I want from a horror.
I like the fact they ventured away from the typical cabin in the woods scenario - BUT that concept obviously works better as the.2013 film was much more engaging and enjoyable.
If you're a horror fan, you'll enjoy it but I wouldn't race to see it.
