Tony (2009)
Lonely killer.
This is more of a character study than a film. An extension look at a lonely serial killer who apparently kills without feeling and no hesitation, obsessed with action movies that only exacerbate his reality. This film has no discernible act structure to it, but that does not make it bad quite the contrary. The short run time only adds to its originality. Not something you will won't to watch again, but on what looks like a very low budget a great piece of art exists. London is seen through a very different lens as you are taken through the grittier side of the city.
Robin Hood (2018)
From the first shot knew it was going to be bad.
I'm lost for words on how bad this films is, everything was wrong..
The acting was terrible but they can't be blamed as most have done some great work in the past. I'm not sure if the director knows that they don't have to use the first take or even the second.
cinematography terrible, blocking terrible, chase scenes terrible, costumes terrible, dialogue was laughable.
Poor casting in nearly every role.
It was a contrived mess that didn't know what it wanted to be.
Back to TV for the director.
Creed II (2018)
You know what's going to happen, but it doesn't matter.
First of all the worst thing about this movie was I was sat infornt of a group of kids, and I asked them to polity " shut up mate " which they did but after 30 mins they started again. Just had to try and ignore it and try to watch the movie.
Now I'm a sucker for a boxing movie, and this one even tho you know the formula is the same as 90 percent of all boxing movies ever made. He fights, he loses, he trains, he wins. But this one is still good.
The fight scenes felt very visceral, some great shots and really good acting.
It seems that all boxing movies now shoot their fights in the tv HBO style, and this one follows that but cuts into close ups and medium close ups with great effect.
This really feels they can now let the Rocky saga finally end.
It wrapped up both Rocky's and Creeds story.
Revenge (2017)
Revenge is never best served bloody.
I'm not sure even the director knew what they wanted from this film. It's too many things crammed into one piece. Some points it's art house with clear inspiration from Nicholas riding refn, panos cosmetos but not having the ability to execute it.
At other points it is an attempt at the horror gore that was massive around 10 years ago and quickly declined.
People seem to not like the gore aspects of the movie, granted it is very over the top, but what was lacking for me was a story and possibly someone who can actually act.
Very predictable and even the jump scares held no weight due to knowing they were about to happen..
The other issue I had was there was noting original about it, even the " creative " camera work had been done over and over and over and over, an attempt at a oneer is still not good as the actor can clearly be seen trying to cover himself up, and if he's doing that it just takes you out of the movie.
And the cat and mouse stuff at the end is laughable. Just wait and let them come round the corner, bang .. job done.
More annoyed I bought it than anything else.
Ignore this one, watch Mandy(2018) blue ruin (2013) or oldboy (2008).
Overlord (2018)
Band of brothers meats resident evil, but not in a good way.
The opening to the film is very exciting, the plane scene is very intense and probably the scariest part of the entire movie. Then you have around 40 mins of an attempt of character building that just does not work. With in this time there was a single jump scare that did actually make me jump. Then it's a mix of every horror movie you have ever seen with scenes clearly pulled directly from them, But done without the finesse and style that great horror has, even the " gory " stuff is not that great. You're not going to see any Rob Bottin style effects here as they are weak. You're left at the end thinking this has been far too long and bad things have happened to characters I do not care for and actually just wanted them all to be eaten. The acting is poor, there is no creative Camera work and the tone of the whole thing is just redundant.
Wait for it to come on Netflix and watch it on a hangover and you may be able to enjoy it.
Kill List (2011)
how can people be so wrong about this film ..
=== contains spoilers ***
i watched this film on the random after borrowing it . didn't read the back and just started watching it. i was shocked at what i saw and at first was thinking how did that just happened. but i could not stop thinking about it so decided to watch it again . and this time i understood a lot more. there is so many clues to where this film is going. from the start it feels uneasy and tragic. you see the stained relationship between jay and shel the main argument being money( to be honest i hated her through the whole film) they are both tied together by there son.and im sure so many couples can relate to this.
as for people saying there is no one in the film to like or emphasis with . gal is that person . the film is a hit man/ horror movie ,. what are people expecting some kind of dick van dyke mary poppins loving character . he is a tragic man doing the only job that pays what he needs he does mention through the film how he has not done that much bad s**t in his life. and the way he reacts to jays over the top killings shows he is no monster.
there is a scean in the restaurant where some Christian people sit near them and start playing guitar and singing religious songs and gal turns to jay and says the place is dead why have they pitched up next to us. i cant help but think they are some sort of agents for god trying to impose there ways on jay like some sort of fight over good and evil . jay gives them the answer by being pretty nasty.
there are also the ''thank yous'' this confused me until the end. you know by the end he is the anti Christ .. and these people know who is and know there place in hell or the Apocalypse are secure.
i just loved this film and couldn't believe how many people do not like it.
** please excuse my poor English i suck at writing any sort of statement or reviews as my mind goes quicker than my typing **
Paintball (2009)
horrible
** possible spoilers ** but to be honest nothing could make this film any worse.
the acting is so bad . charters are non existent just the standard stereo type Europeans , only gave it a chance because niel maskell was in it and i got lot of time for him . but his shady American accent was shocking. the thing i didn't understand the most was the fact they were running around with there paintball guns like they would help them .. i just kept thinking there is someone shooting bullets at u drop the toy and f**king run . was beyond stupid .
didn't even finish it . could only stand to watch 50 mins.
i do like low budget horror but there still has to be something to it, other people have said it on the reviews but its like they just stole all the ideas from other films.
just don't waste your time and skip this .. not even a one time watch
