Extraction 2 (2023)
Great action, weak plot line
The action is pretty awesome. It keeps up to the first movie. And the camera work is great as well.
But the plot is quite weak, especially the way they set up characters.
Like Nik and Yaz, they are weapons dealer, super rich in money and resources. With all that fancy penthouse, they have to go on field by themselves?? I mean they can send a whole freaking team to back Tyler up. If they have to go, they can do some tech or mastermind from behind. In the first movie, they have a solid reason to go out, but not this one. It doesn't make sense.
Nik is the boss. She choose the job, not Tyler. She still helps Tyler as a friend (?) but then it costs her a brother and she goes to jail. Whoes fault is that now? Again, if I have that kind of money, I just won't drag my own ass and my brother into the fight. Hiring a damn arsenal is more than enough.
Black Mirror: White Bear (2013)
Kinda weird, twisted and confused
I always like the idea of letting criminals and killers suffer horrible things that they did to the victims, feel all those the pains and horrors. Sometime, that's what would do the victims justice, not some hypocritical humanitarianism. However, only in case those criminals know exactly what they did, remember every bit of it. Only then they will experience what so called regret.
If she loses all of her memory, she might be considered as a new, different person and shouldn't be punished like that for what she don't know. In this episode, all I see is people's excitement in torturing a human being, rather than how a criminal should be punished. They enjoy that process and she being a criminal just a reason to make the act less cruel and seems acceptable.
It actually make me rethink about the idea, we should really follow the laws, otherwise there would be completely chaos and madness. Because of this, I'm not so sure what exactly this story want to tell.
Burning Questions: Red Notice (2021)
A good movie to relieve your stress
I didn't watch the trailer, just saw the poster and thought wow I like them all, then started the movie. And it turned out to be better than I expected.
It made me laugh, so that should make it a nice movie.
Its' plot isn't complicated, pretty simple actually, you could guess what's coming quite easily, but they made in a logical and funny way, so I didn't get bored or irritated. The action scenes were good enough.
In short, it's a pleasant movie to watch at the weekend. Might watch it again when I have time.
