A Family Lost (2007)
Woeful utter trash
Complete waste of 2 hours of my life.
The " Alaskan"scenery wasn't even any good.
Poor acting and just painful to watch the annoying brat trying to be so clever.
I'm not sure why I actually watched this. Think I'm still hungover LOL
The Stranger (2020)
Worthy of the Hype & Great Location Scenery etc.
Hi Folks. Well to be honest it's quite a clever story. A book quite skilfully turned into a film (series)
Mostly good acting apart from a few unknowns and that's fine as they may be in early / first roles.
Quite jumpy and keeps you intrigued till the end although I'd guessed some of it but I'm always trying to work out whodunnit.
What was particularly refreshing was the setting and filming locations. So nice to see something not based in London for a change.
Only actor I really didn't like was the old one from Buffey who's also been in the split on BBC. I find him wooden to be honest and really not a fan. Can imagine in real life he's a pain in the arse.
Enjoyed watching this with a bottle of red wine whilst sitting out Storm Dennis.
Thanks for reading and Enjoy the show.
The Ritual (2017)
Oh Dear. Waste of 90 mins of my life
Well there's an hour and a half of my life I'm never getting back.
Woeful acting. One minute the fat guy is telling everyone to keep it together and the next he's raving like a lunatic.
Doubt this was even filmed in Sweden.
A very unscary, unexciting movie.
Poor.
Den of Thieves (2018)
Terrible Dreadful Epic Fail of a Film
This film is without a shadow of a doubt... The WORST film I have seen this year and possibly this decade.
It's a car crash of a movie. So bad you actually have to watch it.
Dear director of Den of Thieves ... you think you are very clever, but you have managed to create a diabolically bad film of which I cannot believe you are in any way proud of.
Some reviewers compare it to Heat. Sure the main cop character has the same automatic rifle as Pacino did in the last scene. But fatty is no Pacino let me tell you!
The director of this film has tried to copy elements of heat and done a terrible job.
Even the "military style" moving and magazine changes are dreadful . Also the shooting is so badly choreographed I just couldn't stop laughing.
Seriously I would recommend watching just so that next time you watch an average film you aren't disappointed.
Luckily I watched on Netflix because if I had actually paid for this I would be even more angry as disgusted than I am now.
It is so far fetched with ridiculous twists and turns.
The ending just made me shake my head in silence and go to bed disappointed with myself for wasting electricity watching it.
The film is far too long. I assumed half way through we were done only to realise there was an hour left. NB the constant over dramatised shoot out which mimics every movement, mag changed from both sides is so unnecessary.
Clearly I am not the only one who thinks this.
All in all I can honestly say that your time spent watching this would be better spent tidying your house, washing the car or literally watching paint dry...
I sincerely hope all actors involved were well paid for this as I cannot imagine they will be hired for some time. Once again the ending is Probably the worst I have seen in a film.
There are no more words. This film is an Epic Fail
Mother! (2017)
Dreadful! Just dreadful
I watched this expecting good things with such a Strong cast.
My Friend actually joked that the actors are trying to have this taken off their CVs it is so bad.
Cannot begin to describe how stupid the plot is. Also very very annoying shaky camera work. What is it with these directors that use them.
Steady cam costs nothing these days and makes for a smooth flowing shot. This is constantly shaking camera work. It does not amplify the suspense it just makes you feel seasick.
Utter crap
North v South (2015)
Beyond Poor. Waste of popcorn
I have just wasted an afternoon off watching this tripe. Poor acting. Abismal plot. Shocking in every way. Please do not watch
I would rate it 0/10
A Perfect Getaway (2009)
Precious time you'll never get back
This is the worst film i've seen this year and certainly in a long time.
The plot is hopeless.
The acting is beyond poor.
The "twist" is cringeworthy.
I can't believe good money was spent making this waste of time.
The scenery is amazing (it's not Hawaii BTW). All I can imagine is that the producer, director etc wanted a nice holiday.
The result is an unexciting plod through over 90 minutes.
There are surprisingly several "positive" reviews referring to this film. Not sure how someone could enjoy this.
To sum it up ..... Pond life is more interesting!
Clear out your garage, basement, cupboards, drawers instead.
