In The Valley of Elah

A relentlessly depressing mystery that convincingly illustrated how war takes a toll on the mental health of soldiers, and their loved ones. At the end, I couldn't help but feel sorry for wartime soldiers. I can't begin to imagine the hell these folks go through... the _fucked-up things most of them had had to do in Iraq and other hot zones, in other to survive, and cope. Dead soldiers are not the only casualties of war, the surviving ones are just as much a victim as the KIA. Post-war PTSD is no joke.

7.6/10

Free Fire

My second time of watching it, and it still thrilled. Reservoir Dogs on steroids. Pacing is decent, story is interesting, plenty of suspense, great atmosphere, and beautiful music.

Pros:
- Cool cinematography
- Badass action sequence
- Cool soundtracks
- Convincing acting from the supporting actors (Cilian Murphy & Helen Mirren)

Cons
- Non existent plot line
- Predictable storytelling
- Extravagant quantity of time jumbs
- Pacing issues
- Problematic VFX
- Pretentious AF
- Plot hole galore

Good visuals & action scenes, but in many ways, a watered down version of Atomic Blonde. This film has nothing on John Wick 3. Luc Besson, as filmmaking goes, is a fraud.

6/10

Some hypocrisy is at play here. Are you rating it this low because your original stance against this movie?

The movie was paced very very well. It did not drag unlike Red Sparrow.

John Wick is has as much plot holes and is also as pretentious.

The film was imbecilic AF. As much as I tried to switch off my brain in other to force myself to enjoy it, I simply couldn't. I didn't mind the plot holes, cuz they are a given, going by the fact that plot holes are commonplace with OTT action films like this, but man oh man, the plot integrity was a mess. It's absurdity ruined whatever enjoyment I was hoping to glean from the film.

For starters, the use of 21st century techs like Laptops, hard drive and what-have-you in a 20th century setting was highly suspect. Don't even get me started on the questionable time shifts that destroyed whatever pretense of a rhythm the film had going for it. To cap off the trainwreck, action scenes were a tad video gamey on closer look.

I would wager your left arm that the french fraud, Luc Besson, threw a script together, without bothering to do a basic research on the technicalities, or spend money to polish the VFX, cuz he knew sheeples like you will gobble up anything that has fancy fight scenes. The cheap bastard.

Bottom line, the film was a dumpster fire. If not for the cool music and, action scenes, I would have rated it 4. If I were you, I'd be grateful that my generous nature got the better of me, young padawan.

Don't be so thin-skinned, I used intimation. Basically, I inferred a possibility indirectly, based on a personal deduction.

Oh, so it was 20th century setting. I thought it was 21st seeing the laptops but got confused with those 1970's era type of spy or tracking bus and CCTV tech.

Even that end when she was shot by Olga I wonder was it a body double that was on the ground when she rolled to the other side. And how come the body wasn't retrieved. Who will even volunteer for a dead body double fooling with two of the world's top Spy agencies?

It was a clusterfuck, just switch your Brain off and enjoy the Action grin grin grin Kapish
