We Die Young (2019)
Great story!
An interesting character for JCVD, for which he seemed to have lost a significant amount of weight with his sunken-in face look...but I guess that does tend to come with age, too. The rest of the characters were just as amazing. This was a surprisingly fascinating and on-point interpretation of the gang world and PTSD. There were a few misses in the plot points, but I'm glad I watched it. I had actually been waiting for its release for some time and thoroughly enjoyed it. After all, movies are my jam, and I'm easy to please.
The Domestics (2018)
I didn't know what to expect since I'd never heard of it...
But am super glad I decided to watch this! I'll watch it again and again, if only to listen to my favorite character, Crazy Al. It was a much more realistic apocalyptic idea than a lot of films coming out these days. Loved it!
Reprisal (2018)
I'm usually an easy-to-please type of film watcher, but
This movie could have been done a lot better. The storyline itself was not bad at all...it was just the script, BLECH! These blockbuster actors are TOTALLY capable of SOOOO much more than the crew of this film gave them credit. It's almost like the director, producer, and writer were all trying to MAKE Grillo and Willis look bad. After watching this, my mind raced with all of the different ways this film COULD have gone, especially with the actors' lines, that my head almost exploded. There was definitely steam, lol jk. Seriously though, I have NEVER given such a low score to anything on IMDB (btw, I rate every single thing I watch, even TV shows) because I'm just so easy to please when it comes to entertainment. I honestly thought this movie would be great. Ya know how, every now & then, you'll find a film that wasn't greatly publicized but maybe you checked it out at the library anyway & it just happened to be amazing? Yeah, I thought that would happen with Reprisal, but that's a big, fat N O P E !!! The film is actually lucky i gave it the four stars i did, which were only cuz there were some good moments and cuz I really do like that they cast Frank Grillo, especially as Crossbones, and Bruce Willis, as more recently David Dunn & so many others in the past, and a few other actors that did well despite much of the horrible script.
