I’m not a “fan theory” guy but I think it fits this movie well enough to add another nice layer.

The Rock is the best as an actual complete film. Face/Off has the best combination of amazing action and unhinged performances. Con Air has slightly less amazing action but even more wildly unhinged performances.

Tl;dr all three rule

Really great analysis.

I watched this movie last night and had trouble articulating why I loved it. I spent the whole time waiting for a cathartic scene where emotions would explode out, and the more I think about it the more I realize that the lack of such a scene is what makes everything happening under the surface carry so much devastating weight.

John Hyams does a great job of this. Alone and Sick are both very standard premises - slasher movie and serial killer movie respectively. But the way he frames action and movement really plunge you into the tension and brutality of what’s happening on screen.

The same can also be said for Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning, which sneaks an absolutely unflinching and brutal horror movie into an action movie shell.

This review rules! Great illustration style!

Dude you have missed literally hundreds. You’ve seen a lot of great ones but also you’ve mainly just seen the ones post-2000 that have crossed over to western markets. There is so much more.

> you’re forced to lime it then fertilize the lawn to get the green

No one’s forcing you buddy, beyond some weird “green lawn” fetish

Strike Back doesn’t take itself seriously, has far better action, and some great villains.

And it fails more as a result.

Strike Back did it much better on a much lower budget.

Given no one’s doing that, the heroes are the people pushing diversity and the dregs of society are the people calling that “pushing adult sexual themes into prepubescent children.”

Yes, exactly those bigots/trash people/detriments to our society.

Wow. There are still people unintelligent enough to cite the Federalist and imagine they won’t be a laughingstock. Sad!

It isn’t smearing bigots to call them bigots. Trash people are trash.

If I could downvote this peak r/moviescirclejerk content a dozen times I would.

Ok cool glad you are happy bravonolan

Bad and boring scripts, flat characters, lackluster action scenes, and in the case of Tenet that horrible sound mix.

I’m sorry but The Dark Knight Rises and Tenet are trash

And this “master director” doesn’t know how to get good line deliveries out of bit actors and can’t direct a coherent action scene

I think you got turned around. r/MoviesCirclejerk is over that way.
