In new action/thriller Hunter Killer, the Russian president has been kidnapped by a rogue general, and it’s the job of an untested American submarine captain to work with U.S. Navy Seals for the rescue effort.
Gerard Butler, Gary Oldman, Common and Michael Nyqvist star while Donovan Marsh directs.
More than a desire to see how the story unfolds, what I really want is some submarine time without having to actually be in a submarine.
There’s also the special effects, plus, I’m a Butler, Common and Oldman fan. Lastly, I like the title.
The Hitman’s Bodyguard (2017), Samuel L. Jackson, Ryan Reynolds
I had a good time with The Hitman’s Bodyguard, the Patrick Hughes-directed action/comedy in which Ryan Reynolds stars as the bodyguard to Samuel L. Jackson’s Hitman, who needs to be safely delivered to testify in court.
A lot of the fun in this movie is thanks to the dialogue and action sequences. It ended up not really mattering how ridiculous and unbelievable some of the action seemed, let alone the forced romance that resulted in awkward dialogue and questionable chemistry between Reynolds and his love interest (Elodie Yung). The reason why The Hitman’s Bodyguard remains watchable is because the most important chemistry, that between Jackson and Reynolds is near enough faultless.
The number of times the word m********* flew out of Jackson’s mouth didn’t bother me at all. After all, no one really delivers that word quite the way he does. There’s also the beautiful visuals of London, England and Amsterdam in the summertime to enjoy.
The truth is, you’re not going to be able to completely suspend your disbelief as you watch this movie, but a good time, you shall have. Especially if you’re already a fan of Jackson and Reynolds individually. I haven’t even properly stated how fun Salma Hayek and Gary Oldman’s characters are.
Darkest Hour is directed by Joe Wright (Atonement (2007) and stars Gary Oldman, Lily James, Ben Mendelsohn and Kristin Scott Thomas.
Wright’s movie tells the story of Winston Churchill’s most defining trial: exploring a negotiated peace treaty with Nazi Germany, or standing firm to fight for the ideals, liberty and freedom of a nation.
I’ll see this because Oldman is great and it sounds as though he may have nailed Churchill’s voice. There’s also Churchill’s very famous inspirational quotes to look forward to.
Imagine being a human curious about earth and all its wonders because you were the first person to ever be born on mars. That’s the premise of The Space Between Us.
Asa Butterfield plays said human and what’s the thing he’s most curious about on planet Earth? A girl called Tulsa (Brit Robertson).
The main, if not the only reason I’m really curious about this movie is the science, which i feel is reason enough.
Directed by Peter Chelsom; Gary Oldman, Carla Gugino and BD Wong also star.
The plot of Criminal involves the planting of a deceased persons skills and memories into another individual.
Sounds a lot like sci-fi to me, But it’s the brand new action/drama from director of The Iceman (2012), Ariel Vroman. Ryan Reynolds, Gary Oldman, Kevin Costner and Gal Gadot are the stars.
This trailer, though not perfect, has me interested. The involvement of Oldman and Tommy Lee Jones gives me the most hope.
I wonder why Criminal isn’t categorised under sci-fi.
