Inside Man (2022)
Dumb. Worse than the sum of its parts
I wanted this to be good given the cast, but it was total garbage. The story was dreadful. David Tennants character reacted in a hugely extreme way from the start which was totally unnecessary and unbelievable. The Tuci character was awful and far to likeable. The way he sussed it out was laughable. By the end episode the dramatic tension was nonexistent yet it seemed to be trying. Seemed to not know what it was. And certainly thought it was cleverer than it was. Really disappointing. Plus wrapped up far to conveniently.......the positive reviews are baffling. It was too unbelievable and stupid to even be entertaining.
Encanto (2021)
Very poor
What did I just watch. So fantastical that it no longer made any sense and was so implausible that I no longer cared. Fantasy is one thing but when it's so over the top it just becomes dumb. Songs were naff. Characters uninteresting and just such an odd story. Not sure what the message is.... Seems everyone needs a power...
Escape Room (2017)
Not story or reason
This film was ultimately a waste of time. I wasn't expecting much but it was poorer than expected. The ending was terrible with no apparent reason that they were there and who set it up or a clever conclusion. Very poor unless you are just after a bit of gore and people panicking in a trapped environment I think I picked the wrong escape room.
Gisaengchung (2019)
Just terrible
I so wanted to love this given the reviews I have heard but I was left wondering what film other people had seen. Idea was good but it was a nothing story in the end. So disappointed. Found the subtitles too small. Just could not have cared less. Why all the hype?
The Mountain Between Us (2017)
I'll have what the Dog was on
This was an entertaining film although a little on the slow side. Overall enjoyable ride which plateaued a little in the middle. The one massive issue I had was that when our two protagonists looked tired, cold and hungry, the dog seemed to be full of energy for the entire film.constantly bounding about like he was on a morning walk in the snow.....the little guys feet would have been so frost bitten and they should have at least made comments towards his condition as every time I saw him leaping through the snow it just ruined the tension. Ok for a Sunday night view.
The Split (2018)
Just poor
This is just dreadful. Trying too hard to be slick,glossy and stylish. Characters and their relationships are not believable let alone likeable. Some good actors can't improve the bad script and story.
