@kruse In my opinion the problem with your choice is Willis, not Grillo.
Grillo is generally good in most things he's in and had another top billed movie out recently that was good fun action - Boss Level.
Willis seems to have given up on acting these days and just appears in stuff.
Willis, Travolta, Cage - that would have been a huge cast back in the day, now it would be a warning that the movie is dire.
agree, willis is the new eric roberts lol
Ouch.....poor old Bruce being tarred with that brush......

I was thinking of poor Eric Robert's being tarred with the current Bruce phone it in Willis brush.

Yeah - to be fair, it was the kind of movie where in one scene - 1 in the total movie - I saw Bruce do a wee spot of acting... pretty much dragging out his "oh the world's so tough, but I'm just a jaded hard-ass who's gonna fight through it" expression from Unbreakable.
The rest of it - he was just there. Sometimes. Grillo was the same, but... not much opportunity to act, it was just a constant stream of "scenes", cut together into an incomprehensible mess.Grillo - I actually looked him up on IMDB straight afterwards to see what I knew him from... and there was nothing that stood out as "Oh, yeah... HIM!". Boss Level is the most obvious recent one - but he was just a generic bad-ass, forgettable in the role... but that was also the movie. Dumb stupid fun, forgotten about the next day.
Oh yeah, Grillo's no Brando, but I've found him good in the stuff I've watched him in - like the MMA show but I can't remember the name of it.

Desperado
Some of the fight scenes were a bit average, but still a cool flick.
Salma is HAWT AF too.
3.5 Mariachi's out of 5 guitar cases full of guns

You are a hard marker! Surely Salma's norks must deserve at least a 4? 🤷♂️

He gets in the way of the dead girl’s sister, who is trying pretty gamely to shoot Goldfinger, so saving the British taxpayer a great deal of money.
I don't think the reviewer gets the point of Bond films, it is NOT about saving taxpayer dollars.
And if one reads the original books, Bond is far more interestingly flawed than in the movies. -
@tim said in Re: Movie review thread...:
@catogrande Indeed!
The one where he plays twins is awesomely bad.
I think Timecop is suitably cheesy but kickboxer is ok if you want to see someone pirouette incredibly slowly then tickle the overacting villains with his little feet. -

I went forward as have not read 36 threads...
But sorry to take you back in time I was only micro-ranting to that guy, not your overall post...oh and to Bond films in general, I guess I'm an ex-fan now (not to say the problem was Craig).. -
Wrath of man
Never buy into a reviewer saying something is great or top 4. Not Ritchies best work in my mind and Statham even borrowed his wardrobe from some of his older works. Ban the man cardy. Still enjoyable enough shoot em up heist movie, but could have been much better if it explored more of the characters and didn’t try to jump around in the timeline so much.
3 brutal executions out of 5 heists.

New restoration of The Hot Spot.
Mates and I rented this about 91-92 and even then the bit where Jennifer Connelly got the cans out was completely fucked and scratchy from other
pervertsblokes who’d hired it before us -
Serial Mom (1994)
Kathleen Turner in a comedy darker than a dark room on a black spaceship in a black hole. Really great fun to watch every few years or so.
4 Hanibal Lectors out of 5 Jack the Rippers.

Kathleen was seriously hot back in the day. Sizzling in Body Heat 😛 -

Ok Brad Pitt.
She’s 64 years old and has suffered from Arthritis for 25 years. The steroids she took caused her weight to balloon.

@kirwan what a knight in shining armour! Didn't she play Chandler's Dad in Friends, always thought that was a bit sad.
