Unstoppable (2018)
9/10
Loved it
2 August 2021
I'm not sure why the ratings aren't better. It's intense and fun, with great characters. Ma Dong-seok is incredibly like-able. Though dark, highly recommend for an enjoyable thriller.

The writing sucks
26 July 2021
The writing sucks. Animation is bright and cool, I guess, but the dialogue is like burnt toast, as are the wooden characters.

Lame Shakespeare adaptation
17 November 2019
They tried to adapt Henry V for modern audiences but took out so much of the good stuff and replaced it with muted brooding dialogue and change up/add scenes that drag the story down.

If you enjoy French movies ie moody, atmospheric and slow burn then you should enjoy this. Solid performances by everyone.

The Tin Star (1957)

Massively underrated
22 August 2019
An understated movie. Not sure how such a superb movie is so under the radar. Henry Fonda is at his best. Finely acted and a great script. Highly recommended.

Pleasantly surprised
24 February 2019
I've heard RN called underrated and under appreciated and I can see why. It's not the best or perfect but it's different from most. The story is lean but heavy in undertones and gives it weight and moves along well.

Not perfect but enjoyable
24 February 2019
If you're a fan of westerns you'll enjoyll this. A little slow but Robert Ryan, great as always, carries the story well. Solid supporting cast. Def worth watching.

"Renown" for giving the finger to the audience.
12 February 2019
Warning: Spoilers
In real life true villains often win or go unpunished which is why we love watching movies where the heroes prevail. This movie is "renown" for playing against the hope we feel in watching heroes rise. If this were based on a real life story then so be it but it's not so they chose to be mean spirited which is not for me.

Rio Bravo (1959)

As classic as it gets
13 January 2019
A perfect "hangout" movie. The story moves along slowly but the time we spend with the characters bring out a richness otherwise missed. Classic performces by the cast. Great dialogue. Great score. Great western.

Very good!

The tension is very compelling and will keep your interest the whole way. Not a "shoot'em up" western but not to be missed.

Not perfect but still worth a viewing.
25 November 2018
It drags a bit after the middle but finishes strong. Great characters and scenery. Not like most westerns.

Decent western drama
25 November 2018
Definitely worth a watch. Fairly one-toned but solid performances by the cast and a compelling story. Not a usual "western" hence western drama. I think the 6.7 rating here is a bit low. Hepburn is delightful and Burt is great as usual. Some great shots as well.

Wild Rovers (1971)
6/10
Feels like a misfire of a book adaptation
20 November 2018
It seems like it could have been great but fails at just about every turn, unfortunatly. Likeable characters with all their actions unfolding logically and leading to dilemmas but for whatever reason the movie is rather boring and a bit over sentimental at times. It seems like the script was prob great but lost in the execution of production.
