    Looks good, Casey Affleck trying to stop men being predatory towards women is a bit far fetched though.

    A good watch.

    Slow but engaging.

    Couple of older ones

    Shock and Awe
    Story of a couple of journalists who never bought the Iraq WMD line from day one, and reported it constantly but no one listened.
    It's not bad, but ultimately it just isn't a good enough story to make a movie about. There is zero payoff, and it just sort of ends. I hoped for more because I like those type of movies

    Den of Thieves
    Heist movie that tries very hard to be better movies. The director wants to be Michael Mann. And it wants to be Heat. And they were quite taken with the ending of The Usual Suspects.
    Also I think Gerard Butler has half the lines in the movie.
    Watch if hungover and bored.

    Falling Inn Love. (The NZ-set Netflix one)

    Yikes. Ok, scenery is gorgeous, and a bunch of ex-Shorties got a paycheque. Other than that, ummmmmm. If you took a shot for every NZ slang term shoehorned in, you would die. The plot is beyond ridiculous (one contractor and one newbie renovate an entire derelict two-storey BnB...in two months.) Also, the small town folk do shit like offer a foreigner 90 day store credit to rack up bills to pay for renovation supplies. And they are all clumsy.

    Don't even bother with this, it's not fit to smooch Always Be My Maybe's boots. Unfunny, terrible dialogue, idiot plot is not saved by aforementioned gorgeous scenery and a few cute moments.

    But are there tits? That's the clincher for this audience.

    @Mokey This has been advertised on my Netflix home page for the last three days so I watched the trailer, and it's weird that in an era where we have two Kiwis starring in an Amazon show they use an Australian as the main male star of this.

    The main actress looked a bit of all right ... I didn't see any boobies in the trailer sorry @Crucial.

    @Nepia @Crucial A brief hint of cleavage in a bikini shot.

    See, if you had started with that you could have saved a lot of words. I expect better from a professional writer

    Den of Thieves

    I saw it described as "If Heat was directed by a can of Red Bull."

    Good fun with some mid-aughts style douche bag cops.

    @Tim as the father of a daughter, I enjoyed the scene where the fella turns up to take out his daughter...that scene and the one from Bad Boys 2 sit well with me.
