The original (1930) is still the best.
Yep. If just for the single greatest shot in movie history.

Pretty excited for this:
My daughter has just gotten into the books, we're on the 3rd run through of the Faraway tree series, surprisingly not a chore to read even on the 3rd go round. Cast is looking solid. Disappointed that its going to be set 'modern day' just hope they do the books justice.

Gregor talks to THR about the ensemble of Andrew Garfield, Claire Foy, Rebecca Ferguson, Nicola Coughlan, Jessica Gunning and Michael Palin, to name a few: "It was like a religious conversion."

This review makes me feel like I’ve seen it already

@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.
3.75 Karate students out of 5 Chinese Boxing Masters

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

@Tim pretty much a Temu Black Hawk Down...
-
@bayimports with small font and no glasses on, it looked like quite a different movie title.

That is such a burn.🔥

Anyone watch Warfare?
After 30 minutes the characters were so boring that I hoped they got smoked. Then I turned it off.
I enjoyed it

Me too.

@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 😉
