               Spoiler-Free Review for Fast 9!!! The Fast Saga is like a soap opera. It has overstayed its welcome, and the only way to progress in the story is to come up with more ridiculous plots to top the previous film. The series has become so stale by repeating two simple things; casting big names to introduce as new villains only to turn them into heroes in the next film and by bringing people back from the dead to rebuild the family. This film did not even try to hide these plot points and used the return of Han as a marketing tactic. The predictable formula continues with the casting of John Cena as the main adversary who also happens to be Dom's brother. This lazy attempt to fill in the timeline by trying to add emotion to the plot falls flat and is only useful as a reminder that after 9 films, we are only just now learning about Dom's past.  I could bash the crazy action sequences for hours but at this point, they are one of the m...

              The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard is exactly what you expect it to be after the first installment, attempting to add more action, ridiculousness, and witty banter between the big-name actors. Ryan Reynolds is always in his element when playing a comedic action star, and paired again with the badass Samuel L. Jackson, they never fail to disappoint in their delivery of vulgar dialogue, or clearing out a room full of bad guys.

Who would have thought such a superbly foul-mouthed loose cannon character who constantly has sex on their mind would be fun to watch :) The plot itself is almost incoherent and I struggle to find the words to even explain it, so I won't go into...

             Looking for a movie to watch? Well then, see the review below for my choice of the most thrilling movie from the past week!!! Wrath of Man gives us an action-filled Jason Statham revenge adventure, combined with the classic multi-character story approach which we all love from Guy Ritchie. Statham plays H (short for Hill), a mysterious new armored truck security guard, who proves to have some unconventional skills when it comes to stopping robberies. Ritchie uses this main character and a slew of other characters, along with several flashbacks, to piece together this slow-burn narrative. The story features a darker tone and is mostly driven by these sinister characters, which at times seemed too stoic for my liking, but overall it still managed to continually capture my attention with its excellent pacing and direction. A key addition to the building up of tension throughout the film was the fantastic cinematography. It perfectly framed th...
