Heart of Stone.
Incoherent espionage (ish) action pic with Jamie Dorman playing yet another unlikeable creep. Gal Gadot saves the day. God knows how those two were convinced to take part in this keech, I doubt it was just money as there simply isn’t enough of that in existence to make it worthwhile. Ridiculous plotting, disjointed writing, ludicrous coincidences to “help” the story along and a great deal of shit/crazy action scenes.
But… it has Gal Gadot in it, so it gets 2 hot Israeli chicks out of 5 stupid wastes of time.
It was on my Netflix feed and I was going to watch it. Probably still will, after all it has GG in it

@Catogrande agree, got half way through it and refocused on the wine instead, not even Gal could save this for me

For all those wondering if Die Hard is a Christmas movie

When I first watched Hans Gruber fall, I thought, what bad acting! Only to discover later that was genuine fear, they pushed him off before the count they promised..

This is ridiculously stupid. Like smooth brain levels of stupid.

Back in the day he offered an original story in the Star Wars universe, which they said no to. He's re-written alot since then, it's an old story.

I watched Cop Shop last night. I'm not a big fan of Gerald Butler, but it was a fun ride. The opening music reminded me of the opening to a Dirty Harry movie, there was some good action, funny characters, high body count and gun play. Worth a watch on Netflix

@Kirwan someone comes up with an original story in the Star wars universe and the powers that be say "no....lets jam another story into the same 50 year period with the same characters"....sounds about right

I enjoyed this too, not super original but does what it says on the tin. 80s throwback.

If I remember right he's releasing an R cut and a directors cut with another hour in it. So Netflex getting their money's worth.
Hope they release it in theatres too.

Should have added 'with just a garnish of firefly'
-
i can see that too, i love firefly, part of me wishes it kept going...part of me is now happy it just exists as this short almost perfect show and they didnt get the chance to milk it for a decade and slowly ruin it
....there was a griffon...and light sabers....

Saw a cheapo Netflix film called Bull. Made on a really tight budget (£500k I believe), with a bunch of good Brit character actors. It’s about some violent, very unpleasant villains, with one of them on a revenge spree after a double cross. Lots of flashbacks to flesh out the story. A bit of a weird and slightly annoying ending which doesn’t really gel, but overall worth a look. Not overly long either.
