Film Reviews by RH

This is a deeply reactionary film. Impossible to suspend belief when this extremely uninteresting man becomes an unstoppable killing machine. Dreadful script full of cliche and one dimensional characters. The final scene with wife giving tacit support for husbands joy of killing is a hoot.  A revenge movie as a product of Trumps America. 

This is a terrific addition to the genre of romance in jungle/river From antagonism to love seemlessly with loads of adventure. Both leads play the story with great humour and commitment. I laughed many time out loud. Give it a go, and enjoy. 

Crass loud and amoral. Don’t think any actor gave it any thought except ‘when do I get paid’. Waste of talent, film and time. 

Few good laughs, otherwise dire. I have no idea why they made it. It is nowhere near original films, in fact an insult to them because I decided to watch this because of my enjoyment of first two. 

A brave, and not completely successful, low budget political thriller based around the idea that red-neck America attempts insurrection against urban co-existence and inadvertently bring the city together in opposition. I enjoyed it. Action on the streets with single hand held camera reminds me of the sixties. Give it a try.

Silly film. But watchable if nothing else to do. Narrative dominated by special effects, and even though I enjoy Tom’s action movies, he really doesn’t get a chance to get into character. Open end for Mummy 2.

This is a remarkable tense thriller. Once you have suspended your sense of disbelief, you can merge into the mist, water, forest of rural Sweden and follow a truly original story of myth in the natural world. Deeply human and non human tale of land possession and murder, it follows surprising hero’s and bad folk. Once grabbed you are not released till the very last frame which is magical.

This begins in a rough way, but does find direction. Apart from the deep pessimism about human beings inability to work collectively, and obsessively concerned with barbarism of the survivors of nuclear wipeout, the story grips you. Almost against better judgement you identify with characters who don’t really deserve it. In the end an enjoyable romp, lots of handsome youth, and well constructed narrative. Into series two now, which notches up the terror somewhat. Suspension of disbelief essential.

Much, much better than expected from previous reviews. Scarlett didn’t disappoint. As long as you remember it’s a fantasy SF then go out for the ride. Film, direction, structure superb.

At last it is over. I had expected to laught, but found it difficult to even smile. Well made and well acted misery from the land of Trump.
