Het gouden uur (2022)
OMG how is this rated anything higher than 2 Stars?
I have watched lots of Dutch, Norweigan, Swedish, Spanish, etc.. shows on Netflix etc...
This is written worse than CSI Miami, with acting worse than red-headed sunglass superstar guy that never looked at people he talked to.
The plot and script are absolutely ridiculous.
Kudos to the actors for not giving up on their acting in such a ridiculous, ridiculous, RIDICULOUS script and premise that makes the Dutch Intelligence and Police Forces look like a bunch of bumbling fools.
Thank goodness, the voice characterizations were more palatable than some other Netflix English-dubs.
I have nothing against the actors - I assume they did exactly what the Director wanted them to do.
Omerta 6/12 (2021)
Way better than average.
If you have no sense of Scandinavian culture or Finnish history, then you might very well be confused by this film, but that is your fault, not the movie's fault.
I actually LIKED the combination of subtitles and dubbing, when, for the most part, I get quite annoyed by Netflix's English-dubbing of European movies.
(Was it dubbed? ... I thought they were speaking English sometimes.)
It was well acted, with very reputable actors.
It certainly isn't a low-grade Bollywood action-hero type of movie.
I plan on watching it again to catch more of the subtle things that I may have missed the first time.
The Gentlemen (2019)
A solid 8.5-9/10 movie that you will want to watch again.
I loved the soundtrack.
I loved the actors.
I loved the characters.
I loved the plot and portrayal.
This is such a fun, cool movie to watch.
Love the Colin Farrel character.
Hugh Grant steels the show.
A terrific story and blend of characters.
Fun to watch again and again.
Silverton Siege (2022)
Yeah, these predictable rewritten 'history-dramas' are predictable, but I liked it enough.
I maybe knew 1% of the history of the events leading up to the production of this movie, but Netflix is getting very predictable.
Either way, I like watching it and gave it 7 Stars.
The Missing (2003)
It's a SOLID 7.5
I should have seen this movie years ago, but I don't remember seeing it.
I seem to remember something very similar with TL Jones fighting off the bad guy on ths side of a cliff-face in the SouthWest, but this wasn't it.
Huh ...
You probably know which movie I am thinking of, ... but I can't ... right at this moment, LOL.
Doesn't matter; I would prefer to rate this 7.5, but I have to choose the 8.
It is a good drama, thriller, however, in 'today's age,' there is no excuse to not hire Actors that are actually from the 'blood lines / race' of the characters they are portraying.
TL Jones is able to play his role very well (as usual).
There is nothing wrong with this movie, it is a good watch (better than Hobbs and Shaw), but yeah, it's a damn shame that Hollywood didn't catch-on to hiring 'real' character actors before 2003.
Hai Phuong (2019)
How can I give anything less than 8 Stars?
In relation to my other reviews and ratings, how can I give this movie anything less than 8 Stars?
As other reviewers have said; this is the Vietnamese version of "Taken."
Original Vietnamese with English subtitles only (at time of my viewing and review).
Definitely not the best 'martial arts' movie, but a well made, action thriller from Vietnam, with a believable Heroine.
Ultimate Force (2002)
Ultimate "FARCE!"
(I thought I was the original funny guy with that play on words for the title of this series, but obviously: many others before me got it too.)
Yes; I know that this production is an older production, ... and is based upon an even earlier time period in the UK, but it irked me, by the way it was produced.
It seemed so "low budget", I expected so see Benny Hill pop up with that goofy grin on his face and start chasing bad guys around.
This series is interesting, in terms of what was going on in the UK during the time period portrayed and what the SAS was doing (or so the British would have us believe), etc., but it all comes across as a low budget version of the 1975, 🇺🇸 "S. W. A. T" TV series.
Once Upon a Time in America (1984)
I've been spoiled by stay at home quick-pick-flicks.
If you are binging Robert DeNiro movies, watch this one first ... certainly not after any of his exciting movies.
I had to turn this off after 20 minutes.
I spent more time researching it online after I turned it off, than I did watching it.
Super slow and weird.
I get it was a masterpiece and all, blah blah blah ... click.
Cry Macho (2021)
Nervewracking ...
I was stressed out watching this; always expecting something to blow up, or else bad to happen, at any moment. LOL
It's a fairy tale story.
Something different, as of late, from Clint.
I walked away thinking it reminded me of the way I felt after seeing "The Milagro Beanfield War."
Badland (2019)
Not great but certainly not bad.
Melodramatic, slow, plays out like a fairy tale, low budget, but it looked authentic for the period and was enjoyable to watch.
