This movie did not disappoint. From start to finish, the action and the plots twists come at you at a steady pace. I found myself completely engaged with the characters and the story throughout. Benedict Cumberbatch is masterful in his role as the film’s villain. He is always one step ahead due to his brains… Read More »
I’d describe this movie in two words, neither that I ever thought I’d use to describe it going in: Boring and lackluster. I loved the first “Iron Man” film. The second film was disappointing on my first viewing, but I appreciated it more after multiple viewings and I think it really helped tee up “The… Read More »
Delivers on the gore and blood, and then some, but struggles when trying to simultaneously pay homage to the source material and create something new. It’s been a very long time since I’ve seen “The Evil Dead” or “The Evil Dead II,” so I really can’t comment much on any positive or negative changes they’ve… Read More »
About what I expected: Entertaining action movie without a lot of substance. The story here isn’t too bad actually.

While the “Cobra tires to conquer the world with WMDs” was used once before,… Read More »
A very uneven film, but I liked it more than I didn’t. The story itself was a bit weak. It has some strong moments, but gets lost quite a few times as well. James Franco does a good job as Oz. His natural charm allows you to root for the womanizing conman despite his flaws.… Read More »
Held my interest throughout, but really didn’t stand out overall. The story itself isn’t as elaborate as some of the plots of previous installments in the series. It’s more of an “on the run” type of plot. However, there is a least one good twist that I didn’t see coming. The villains here are extremely… Read More »
Pretty mediocre. This movie doesn’t have much going for it. The concept of an assassin teaming up with a cop is ruined by the fact that the duo just never clicks. Sung Kang does an OK job, but his character has no real motivation and really contributes nothing to the team. Stallone, as always, has… Read More »
