The Equalizer (2021)
Deleted from my PVR veiwing list.
This show started poorly, but I thought it might grow. Unfortunately it grew in a rather poor and implausible way. Edward Norton was huge shoes to follow. Denzel could keep up, but the Queen just isn't believable. Both previous actors could project a dark backstory as believable spooks of espionage. Believable that they had experienced heartbreaking loss and wanted to make things right for the downtrodden.
Sadly the middle aged Lady; has been Rap star. Just doesn't have the chops. Her action scenes are awkward and poorly choreographed to the extent that the only stunt she makes believable is at the dinner table lecturing her annoying daughter. I stopped watching about half way through season two, then dropped by periodically only to wish I hadn't.
Chaos Walking (2021)
I cant believe this mess cost 100 million.
To many solid actors, completely wasted! The breath and scope of the source material was barely scratched in this myopic uninspired little waste of time.
Some interesting use of CGI, mixed with poor special effects worthy of a weekly sitcom. Sadly one is left feeling that the best of this film was left on the cutting room floor. As the production budget never seems even close to having been realized.
The promising ground breaking ideas from the novels, never congeal. Sadly the film does not amount too anything more than an episode of a TV Western where Good Buddies run from the corrupt sheriff and his Posse.
Cosmic Sin (2021)
So Bad with no redeeming qualities.
I Thought this may have been written by a bored 12 year old, trying to entertain his 10 year old brother.
Some times dreadful films have a certain charm. This is not one of those times.
De slag om de Schelde (2020)
Hollywood movies might be 60 million but....
This excellent Neaderlander film, may have had a miniscule budget compared to Hollywood. But one should remember many Hollywood stars cost a movie 10 or 20 million just for being "Stars". They also include the tens of millions spent on promotional cost as part of the film. So often the huge budget is never seen in the film. This was worth every Euro!!
