    Watched a couple movies recently which I may have seen referenced in this thread at some point, not sure

    Prayer before dawn - English bloke who is a kickboxer by trade falls into drugs and crime in Thailand and gets sent to one of Thailands most notorious prisons. Mostly true story. 4/5

    Last Flag Flying - Old vietnam war vets meet up for a road trip. Think it was categorised as a comedy, certainly some funny parts but pretty emotional story. I thought it was a great story 4.5/5

    Loved Prayer Before Dawn

    Outlaw King - is “watchable” a compliment? Was saved by a very nice pair of tits and a GoT copy battle scene.

    With the ease in which we can access tits on the interweb this is hardly a selling point.

    Papillon - CHarlie Hunnan, Rami Malek

    A retelling of the true story.

    Story in itself is remarkable, Malek is good, but Jax Teller Charlie Hunnan just doesnt pull it off, his swagger and general demeanor is too much like Jax Teller, unsure if they wanted him to play it like this, but to me just didnt really work.

    3 escape attempts out of 5 innocent men...

    @jegga based on his memoirs, so be like one of us telling our life story of all the models we banged and how we just missed being an AB great 😉

    Although Charrière always maintained, until his death in 1973, that events in the book were truthful and accurate (allowing for minor lapses in memory), since the book's publication there have been questions raised about its accuracy. The authenticity of the book was challenged most notably by French journalist Gerard de Villiers, author of Papillon Épinglé (Butterfly Pinned), who stated that "only about 10 percent of Charrière's book represents the truth".

    The owner of said tits has a couple of points that may persuade you to have a look.

    The Meg - Jaws on roids. Go in with low expectations.

    3 dumb arse moments out of 5 even dumber dumb arse moments.

    Equaliser 2 - good, but not as good as the first one.

    3.5 shoulda crushed his skull moments out of 5 dudes that mess with the wrong dude.

    Mandy was really good. First half better than the second though.

    @bovidae yes I think you have to just accept it as a movie, not a factual account of events. Apparently there was plenty of variations of the truth throughout but still worth seeing

    My favourite is Glory road although its a bit Bohemian Rhapsody with the facts in places.
