Last Film You Saw

The last half hour or so is excellent, with the (I'm presuming) Navy SEALs unit preparing to free the captain from his captivity. "Execute"!
I like the way they did it all to be fair. There are four parts of the film in my head. When the (as you say) SEALS eventually turn up, it is completely unannounced. Great transition.
 
Captain Phillips. Thought it was a great film and the best I have seen in a long time. Music provided a lot of suspense. The film was extremely well paced. Very little unnecessary/story telling scenes.

It is free to watch on Amazon Prime at the moment and I recommend it as a watch for anyone who has not seen it before.
Cracking film.
 
Watched “One Battle After Another” which was excellent. Strong cast including Leonardo de Caprio and a brilliant Sean Penn. Follows a lapsed left-wing revolutionary trying to live under the radar with his 16 y-o daughter. Being hunted by an old adversary played by Penn. Lots of plot twists, throw in a white supremacist secret society and you have an engrossing film that never falters. 8.5/10
 
Sisu 2 absolutely shite, predetor badlands even fucking worse have are expectations of film really turned to shit
 
I enjoyed Sisu 2. I was expecting ridiculous laws of physics, miraculous capabilities of the human body and genuine incrediblity all round. I got all that and laughed along the way.
 
I was expecting Napolean to be utter garbage given its poor reviews but I just finished it and thought it was a pretty good epic. The soldiering bits were a great watch and the relationship with Josephine seemed interesting enough.
 
Mission Impossible CCXLVI - Final Reckoning.
It's way too long, and at least two of the set pieces last too long (the sub sequence goes on for 2 hours), the outbreaks of earnest pleading are unconvincing and don't seem to have much emotion (maybe Cruise just can't convey it now?), the first hour is largely tedious, people materialise as if from nowhere time after time for a bit of dramatic tedium before an inevitable escape, several characters exist to stand around and occasionally be crackshots while the bad guys are clearly practicing to be stormtroopers as they can't hit a barn from inside the barn... there's only so many times certain death can be cheated at the last moment without it losing impact, and the bucket of impact is empty long before the end - there's one decent character exit in the whole running time.
Self-indulgent and one of the worst of the lot.
 
Thought I'd try Joker Folie a Deux again this afternoon. To see if I'd missed something the first time I watched it.


I didn't; it's a poor film. No idea why they chose to go down the route of it being a musical. The poor box office showing would suggest that the great unwashed was of the same opinion. I didn't think the original was anything special, to be honest. But, compared to the sequel, it's a masterpiece.
 
Watched the new Running Man film. Thought it was okay seen mixed and negative reviews. Decent 6/10.
Yes watched it last night. Was alright. Had a couple cans later at night and just sat back and relaxed. I'd give a 7/10. Was a decent bit of entertainment. Not winning any awards but at the same time it kept my attention.
