    Anyone watch Warfare?

    After 30 minutes the characters were so boring that I hoped they got smoked. Then I turned it off.

    @Tim That the one written by a Navy Seal or similar - and based on an actual real-life mission/people? Or something like that?
    Edit: ah yes - "told in real time and based on the memory of the people who lived it."
    I haven't seen it - but guessed at what it would be like based on the premise - your review confirms my guess.

    Way of the Dragon

    Absolute paper thin plot, bad dubbing and terrible acting but great fun.

    Some businessman in Rome is trying to take over a restaurant for no apparent reason. His thugs come in for routine beat downs of the staff only for a stranger from out of town to come and protect them and teach them to fight.

    Bruce Lee is the absolute man, there's various contradictory stories about how tough he actually was in real life ( unlike his two main adversaries in the film he never actually competed ) but there is no denying he had presence and looked absolutely beautiful doing what he did. Some amazing athleticism on display.

    The Iconic fight scene with Chuck Norris at the end is absolutely awesome, my rating would be considerably less if not for these two.

    Well, you know what you're getting when youre watching a Statham movie, even the titles of his movies are getting similar

    @bayimports with small font and no glasses on, it looked like quite a different movie title.

    @MiketheSnow I thought it was a decent watch, but for me it falls short of the likes of Black Hawk Down, 13 Hours: Secret Soldiers of Benghazi...I expect there are many more similar stories like this one (Warfare) waiting to be told too.

    That's obviously not to downplay what all those involved went through.

    I don't think it's a s good as Black Hawk Down, but to me it's much better than 13 Hours, that movie could have been improved markedly with a good editor.

    A very different movie

    I’m always surprised that trained professionals waste so many bullets through missing the target, but when you watch a movie like Warfare you get a sense of the confusion that being in a gunfight must feel like

    It’s great to watch war and cops & robbers movies where every bullet = death but the reality must be closer to ‘Warfare’

    Holed down somewhere, under fire, no real idea of how many you’re up against and where they are, no real certainty of the exit strategy

    So just keep firing

    Like playing for Wales at the moment 😉

    Watching the first/original James Bond film Dr No

    Different era, but it's a bloody good watch Misogyny abounds, but fascinating to see how race was portrayed in the film with Quarrel being seen in a positive way as a solid, dependable ally & friend. Probably ground-breaking 60 yrs ago. Oh, and there's the Ursula Andress scene..,,...

    Latest MI movie - The Final Reckoning.

    I sincerely hope so.

    There was possibly an OK movie in there somewhere, if they'd cut about an hour of what was a succession of bloated action scenes. Depressingly predictable - no action movie trope left unexplored.

    Cruise is starting to look his age despite what appears industrial levels of botox which makes any expression other than moody deadpan a bridge too far.
