Atlas (2024)
Why the Netfix hate?
I went into this film with little knowledge of it and no real expectations. Therefore I was completely blown away when it turned out to be a new entry in my top ten films. As I am 59 years old and a true film geek, this v is quite an achievement!
Everything from the acting, special effects and action was spot on! Combine that with a thought provoking plot and a good sense of tongue in cheek humour and you have the perfect recipe for a great movie.
All the Netflex naysayers that wrote reviews on this film are either deluded or watched a completely different film to me! Please do yourself a favour and watch this film.
Kateo (2022)
Incredible Film!
Where have all these negative reviews come from?
Being a fan of all our action films such as John Wicks, The Raid and Shoot Em UP I was keen to watch Carter.
It exceeded all My expectations! It is the most bonkers, over the top and breathtaking film I have ever seen! The choreography is incredible and the action never stops from beginning to end.
It is full of set piece action scenes ranging from hand to hand fights to car chases and and an amazing sequence of a a gunfight while falling from a plane. By the end of the film I was utterly exhausted from the constant adrenaline rush
Please watch this amazing movie or you will regret it!
Search and Destroy (2020)
WONDERFUL SPOOF!
I think one of the previous reviewers failed to appreciate that this film is a spoof on all those low budget action movies of the 80,s and 90,s.
Every scene is sprinkled with a liberal dose of self mockery. Everything from use of slo mo, explosions everytime someone shots a bullet, corny cheesy dialogue and wonderful use of retro music combines to provide intended belly laughs for everyone familiar with the genre. Bravo to all involved!
13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi (2016)
BAY COMES OF AGE!
Despite all my reservations about a Michael Bay movie i watched this and was amazed! The Bay visual feast is as always present but this time linked with a highly tuned emotional resonance that i have rarely experienced in film.I found myself crying, laughing and in the same state of shock as the characters on screen.Everyone with a love of true war movies needs to see this.
The Siege of Jadotville (2016)
What a revelation!
I have seen many movies but none have come as such an unexpected surprise as this film. Having sneaked under my radar as a Netflix original film i only finally watched this as i could not find anything else. But i am so glad i did. This film is a must watch for any war movie fan.
The war scenes in this film are compelling and draw a much deserved comparison with Zulu. The scale and cinematography of the siege are amazing. As is the degree of tension that the viewer is swept up in.
The acting throughout is solid and convincing,especially Mark Strong.
Miss this film at your peril. One of the best movies I have ever seen.
Spectral (2016)
Hidden Gem
I came to this film with no knowledge of it's history or ratings. Being cynical of all things Netflix i expected a low budget, low imagination offering. Instead i found an original, compelling and well produced cinematic offering.
The story line is compelling and well thought out. The performances are delivered with gusto and the CGI is of a high quality. As is the action scenes, and the emotional involvement demanded of the viewer is irresistable.
Give this film a watch and you will not be disappointed!
Seal Team Eight: Behind Enemy Lines (2014)
why all the hate ?
Why are so many reviews for this film so negative? admittedly it is not in the same class as the original behind enemy lines movie but it is far superior to the previous two sequels. The plot is believable if flimsy. The character development and emotional investment is present. The pace of the film whips the viewer along at a fast pace. The acting especially from Tom Sizemore is competent. Most importantly the action scenes are excellently edited and choreographed. Overall this an excellent popcorn B movie to while away an hour and a half. Try it you won,t be dissappointed.
