Taken 3 (2014)
Starring Liam Neesen (What else did you expect?)
Only Liam Neesen can do the unimaginable.
Okay so spoiler yes typical Liam movie where he's a complete bad-ass and nothing can stop him no matter how many people are after him. Old plot right? But for some reason we continue to watch his movies because something draws us into them.
Great story line bad guys always lose typical movie. The fact that Liam does the unthinkable for any human does get a little old, but doesn't he in every movie? The fact he does thinks from the beginning of the movie that are nearly impossible to do makes the movie seem so much more fictional.
Quick run down Liam's wife is killed he is set up he runs from the cops the entire movie more than he does actually chase the bad guys finally catches up to the bad guys kills all of them except one and says he will be back for him.. which leaves us to believe we will be forced to watch a Taken 4 in the future.
Pros despite the fact this movie and Liam does so many things that are beyond possible for any man to do the movie has a lot of action and since we all watched the previous Taken movies something draws us into this once. Movie starts off fast paced despite the (lack of appreciate his family shows him) in all the movies considering he saved their lives how many times already? The movie is something that will somehow keep you interested.
Downfalls are the stuff he does as we all know so ridiculous it's not even close to believable that any man can do (retired spec ops or not). Also in the back of our mind we know that Liam is the only man on earth who can beat up cops, destroy cars and shoot at anyways while running from the cops without getting arrested is just so ridiculous. The fact that he doesn't kill who was behind this entire disaster of his wife's death is pointless. All for a set up of I will find you leaves us a good hint we will see Taken 4 and hopefully that will be the last of this movie franchise.
Overall 5 out 10 a lot of complete fictional action, but a typical Liam Neesen movie if you got to kill 2 hours this will definitely do the trick.
Hope this review helped!
Get Hard (2015)
Surprisingly Disappointing
This movie you'll either love or hate.
I heard mixed reviews about this movie it's either one you'll laugh through the entire movie or you will be highly disappointed.
There's something overly fictional about Will Ferrell (James) being sent to San Quentin for 10 years over some fraud money issues. The comical stereotype of Kevin Hart (Darnell) being black so he can help (James) "Get Hard" and prepared for prison is the main subject of this movie here. I am a huge Kevin Hart fan and him with Will Ferrell teamed up together seems completely genius for this well it wasn't.
Will Ferell played your typical white guy who's scared of African Americans and just tried to hard in this movie. The fact he was scared of Darnell when Darnell just walked to his window was beyond dumb. I love dumb comedy, but this was just dumb. Might get a lot of negative feedback on this. but this movie is just that hit or miss..
Not worth a trip to the theatre at all highly disappointed with the potential of 2 great comedians, but the jokes just weren't there. Whoever wrote the jokes just tried too hard.
The Captive (2014)
Confusing & Frustrating
Only reason I continued to watch this was because of Ryan Reynolds just for the record.
The movie is horrible, confusing and frustrating. The time jumps from 2012 to current to 2011 are just so confusing. I'm sure this movie had the potential to be something amazing, but failed miserably. The story just doesn't add up instead of enjoying the movie you are stuck trying to piece together what is going on in the time jumps. You don't know who are the good guys in this until the end of the movie. The entire time you are curious as to what is going on and who is who. The potential really is there as others stated great actors such a decent storyline, but somewhere along the line this movie got wrecked horribly. If you can figure out what's going on from the beginning without having to rewind it kudos to you because this movie is one huge confusion. I can't even explain how because after watching i still don't get it.
The Wedding Ringer (2015)
Another Good Kevin Hart Movie
If Kevin Hart wasn't in this movie I don't believe it would be possible.
It's an above average comedy whether Kevin Hart movies are good or bad his scenes always seem to shine. No major issues with the movie if your into wacky-dumb comedy this is for you. There are no major dull parts to this comedy it will keep you interested all the way through.
My only disappointment is Josh Gad I really wish they would have paired Kevin Hart up with a stronger co main-actor. He fits the role needed for this movie only he doesn't make a good match with Kevin Hart. There are so many other potential actors who could have made a better fit for his part. Other than that the movie gets a solid 7 out of 10 in my book some parts are so ridiculously funny it's definitely one of those movies you can watch again with a friend who has yet to see it.
