Crossing Lines: The Team: Part Two (2014)
Strange reaction
I've had to sign in to review this because this episode annoyed me!!
All was fine until the last 5 mins and then Hickman it seems became an imbecile and in no way used common sense, instinct or logic.
They had suspicion and instead of arresting her and apprehending her he just popped in to see her and have a chat with her ?
Louis gets shot and he stands there, 2 more shots and he still stands there - waiting for another maybe ?
Then he runs to his friend instead of removing the threat and also preventing himself as a witness getting shot.
Then the assailant runs off instead of shooting him - this was not a normal reacion from someone who had just murdered an officer of the law.
If she had shot and ran i might have accepted it but it's just a dumb reaction !!
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit: Spiraling Down (2011)
Do the cops need more training ?
I wasn't sure where this episode was going at the start - nothing about the prosection of the pimps etc.
However the thing that really annoyed me was the lax behaviour of cops.
Firstly a cop having a selfie - really ? He should be fired as he is on duty and has a loaded gun on him!
Secondly when Jake Stanton puts the revolver to his head the two cops draw their guns and tell him to put it down.
As soon as he lowers it they breath a sigh of relief and slowly lower their weapons.
If this was a person who had taken a cops gun the first thing they would do when he lowers it is to keep a gun trained on him and disarm him as he still has it in his hand!! This is surely basic policing ?!
Other than that it was an needless ending - he couldn't remember most things let alone perhaps how to fire a gun ?
Extraction (2020)
High body count!
When i saw the trailer for the sequel i had to watch this again and then i looked up the body count on this of and was gobsmacked that it was 183!! That is a lot and sometimes seems far fetched but...
I really enjoyed this film and the bond that develops between Rake and the hostage developed over the film.
Obviously it's highly unlikely even for bribed officials to accept the loss of so many police and army personnel and the chaos in the town that it wouldn't happen but the story was good despite this.
Chris hemsworth really pulls off the character so well.
I have actually watched this film three times on Netflix so I am glad that they decided on a sequel to this and gave me an excuse to watch it again !
Firefox (1982)
Clint at his best!
One of my top ten films - a spy and an action film all in one and hasn't aged a bit (apart from some of the special effects). I would love this to be remade (maybe Clint's son could play the part) and can't figure the negative reviews on this.
Some errors in the film -
1. How an American accent can play a GRU officer
2. How he gets dressed so quickly from the shower
3. How poor the security is on such a classified plane
..but otherwise really enjoyable film.
The dogfight scene is really enjoyable and a true cat and mouse game.
How to do the impossible - steal a plane under the nose of the Russians!
FBI: Little Egypt (2019)
Not a great episode...
The new woman in charge doesn't look like she has any personal or sensitive skills. She is not a patch on the charismatic predecessor she had. Also perhaps would help with a bit more background and introduction to her character?
Some conflicting things in this episode but the worst was the end part....
Oh look there is a bomb. Anyone got a multi tool ? Sure here you go why don't you just cut some wires .... What do you mean it's still counting down ? Ok I'll cut the other side wires. Phew that worked !
Great all the surrounding agents stood around and trusted her bomb disposal skills she learnt from watching macgyver !!
The Tomorrow War (2021)
Edge of Tomorrow meets Starship Troopers
I really enjoyed this film as i just wanted an action film that i didn't need to think about.... Yet i did think about the logic in the storyline and how they didn't think about this with a lot of clever people about....
questions to ignore : Have more than one researcher trying to find the toxin ? Send the samples back to the current time line... if you kill the aliens then all the people that went forward in time wouldn't die because the war didn't happen ? What - mass produce the toxin and go back and save 500,000 people (less by the time of the final attack on the time portal) ? Yes - go back with photos and make sure you kill all the aliens, you have 30 years ? Only 6 of the toxins were used why didn't they just blow the whole ship in the first place ?
Despite this i still enjoyed it!
The Doorman (2020)
Average movie
This started off ok but withered out.
The arch villain of this is laughable - really dumb yet manages to be the last baddie standing.
The worst part was the moment they ran towards each other shooting at each other and managing to miss everytime. Seriously ? She has a silver star and is a trained firearms specialist yet can't hit him once!
Like others say it's a bit of fun but would expect this a freebie on netflix or the likes.
Bulletproof: Episode #2.8 (2020)
Enjoyable but...
I liked this show but it's trying to be Bad Boys without the location - we aren't in the US and things don't work the same in terms of firearms and armed plain clothes police officers being allowed to do what they like without any control!
The one issue i had with the final episode was the way they shot the suspect and then DID NOT SECURE THE CRIME SCENE!! They let the mother run over to her son and pick up the Gun that had just shot an officer (and used to murder others!). This is all in front of the public watching behind a bit of tape!
If that happened in real life i'd expect an investigation into how an unsecured gun was allowed in the hands of the suspects mother and used to kill her. People would be fired!
Needs to stop being too over the top in some scenes..
Left Behind (2014)
Terrible film
I think this has to be the worst movie i have seen and almost reason to cancel netflix! Nic Cage has made so many flops that his best (The Rock, Conair, Face Off, National Treasure) are a distant memory away now. Let's hope the new Tiger King is better otherwise he needs a new agent!
