Pathfinders: In the Company of Strangers (2011)
ugh...
This 'film' moved like frozen syrup. Poor acting, unnecessary..........pauses for dramatic effect. Dialogue which made no attempt to move the plot forward and enough close ups that I now have to visit my optometrist. I could only bear about forty five or so minutes and that was with the aid of a fast forward button. Could either side have shown any emotion, you know, with them being in life and death situations and all? As for historical accuracy I'm pretty sure I saw a laptop on a desk in the briefing room, it wouldn't have surprised me. This movie made me sorry the allies won the war, perhaps then it would not have been made. My only saving grace is that it was the 'the free one' on the tail end of a rent one get one free new release coupon!
Cross (2011)
Cross delivers
This film promises action and actually delivers. Imagine? An action film that actually provides you with, you guessed it....action! I was surprised to read other reviews criticizing this film so let's look at the ingredients; Hot shot good guys, menacing bad guys, hot girls throughout and high powered gunfights from start to finish. Babes and bullets, what more could you want from an action movie? Vinnie Jones has become one of Hollywoods most intimidating characters with a look like he makes a habit of kicking butt before breakfast. This film provides fantastic special effects, unique gadgetry and explosions by the handful.Cross appeared as though it was shot entirely in the warehouses, ports and on the rooftops of LA adding to the grittiness of the film.All in all, the makers of Cross did an excellent job of delivering on its' promise for an action film. I would recommend this movie to all action fans and look forward to a healthy dose of double Cross.
