Yeah for me this high-key slapped, I'm a pretty big fan of Michael Mann's Collateral and that's really what this film is riffing on more than anything, is it as slick and stylish an affair as Collateral? I don't think so, but then Mann brings a certain heat to his filmmaking when he's firing on all cylinders, and this was helmed by Liam Neeson's friend Jaume Collet-Sera, who to be fair is making waves in bigger leagues of late, coming…

Conclave 2024
I was so looking forward to Edward Berger's next film after his sensationally good adaptation of All Quiet on the Western Front, and Conclave might on the surface of it seem to be an odd film to be hyped for, but I was all aboard that particular train when in addition to Berger directing we had Ralph Fiennes quickly attached to lead, and the end product does not disappoint I'm pleased to say at the top of my review log…

Red One 2024
I was hoping this film would get a Prime release for Christmas 2024, and that I wouldn't have to wait a whole year to see it, I have been toying with the idea of seeing it on the big screen but honestly, I don't want to contribute any money to this one, I just don't believe that this film should have been made in the manner that it was, I think it's bloody egregious that Johnson walked away with $50…
