For what it must be the longest and most tedious scenes in an "action movie", we sit through endless discussions relating to technical and managerial issues that might be accurate but are only confusing and tedious to the average viewer. We can't wait for the station to explode so they can stop talking.
When the fireworks finally arrive, we given what should have been a grand display of technical effects: visual and audio. There are some good minutes here and there, but it's too dark, the editing is a bit sloppy, and we are hardly able to see who is going through what. There is also a lack of emotion for a disaster movie.
Was expecting more.

Hell or High Water
In a summer (or should that be year?!) of vapid sequels, remakes, and overblown superhero catastrophes, who would have expected an entertaining, intelligent, well-crafted, suspenseful, character-driven, modern-day western with a brain.
In this razor sharp script, Jeff Bridges, Chris Pine, and (especially) Ben Foster (along with everyone else who appears on the screen) inhabit this film as humorous, heartfelt, vicious, painfully tragic, and realistic members of a society reaping the fruits it has tragically sown. Best film so far this year I think.

Don't Breathe
DON'T READ REVIEWS FOR THIS FILM!
Avoid trailers and movie clips too. Avoid anything that could be a spoiler.
The less you know the better the film will be.
If you're a horror/thriller fan GO SEE THIS RIGHT NOW. You will be very glad you did.
The film was exhilarating, tense, eerie, and exhausting, with an amazing score.

War Dogs
The movie is classified as a crime/drama film but one knows it will have a comical aspect when Jonah Hill is involved!
"War Dogs" touches on a mysterious aspect of the world which is not often talked about. Therefore, the story is already intriguing, and I want to find out what happens to the two guys. What they do might seem questionable to some, and their subsequent success gives much food for thought. The ending makes you think and reflect on the fine line between right and wrong; and how people can get caught up in their successes. Another good aspect is that despite the subject matter, the story manages to be funny yet still remains dramatic enough to be taken seriously. I enjoyed watching it a lot!

Mechanic Resurrection
A very ordinary plot. No suspense, no story, unrealistic fight scenes. Can't believe Jason agreed to do it to be honest!
Overall it's very average, only good thing was Jessica Alba!
