Gunfight at Rio Bravo (2023)
Was it meant to be Blazing Saddles?
This is a comedy Western.....isn't it? Surely it's not meant to be serious. The dialogue and acting are indeed laughable but the writers forgot to add the intentional jokes and left in the unintentional ones. Every cliche, every plot point, every character, every attempt at conveying emotion.....all been done before and better.
The multi-lingual cast may be fantastic actors in their natural language. But if they have learnt this dialogue phonetically, as appears to have happened with this movie, it really doesn't help the action or the story.
You know the phrase "so bad it's good"? Doesn't apply- it's so bad, it's worse.
The War Below (2021)
Under-rated film.
If this film had used a couple of big names actors, it would have had far more publicity and profile. But with a low-budget and no star names, it is in danger of being overlooked compared to 1917 and Dunkirk. And that's a shame because its a neat claustrophobic drama telling a true and often untold story. Worth watching.
