Really really good movie! Rutger Hauer is amazing as a relentless killer following C Thomas Howell's naive kid character through Texas, killing everyone around a terrified Howell. The focus is on the terror, of course, but I was surprised to find that there is an emotional journey that the characters go though as well. My quibble is that Hauer's character is sometimes too powerful, almost supernat...

Bad directing. Bad acting. Bad script. Bad plot. Just bad. Emma Watson's character goes to work for a giant social media company (think Google & Facebook combined). She becomes the company's star "Circler" when their data collecting cameras (Flock cameras on steroids) save her life and she's all in until bad stuff happens. The dialogue they give the characters is weird. The story arc is uneven. ...

NOTE - Paramount originally released The Saint as a blu-ray in 2021. In 2026 they are releasing the 4K UHD, and the package includes the SAME bluray (same scan, extras, everything) as was released in 2021. This review is for the 2026 bluray (same as the 2021 bluray), not the 4K So much bad weirdness. The main put-off for me was the way that Elizabeth Shue's character is written as such a complete...

So much bad weirdness. The main put-off for me was the way that Elizabeth Shue's character is written as such a complete oddball that she falls head-over-heels for the Saint disguised as a cartoonish euro-trash who says creepy things. But then when she finds out that he's actually a super-thief - she still wants to be with him! Very, very, bizarre. The goofy costumes and weird characters maybe c...

This movie is fine if you want an UNDER-90-minute movie to pass the time. Definitely don't want to think too hard about it. Or have to pay attention to the dialogue. Because... boy the dialogue mostly stinks. Wes Craven's horror sensibilities are put to good use when the movie becomes a hand-to-hand battle between the two stars. There's some genuinely exciting moments as the protagonists battle....

I haven't seen the English remake of this movie but I'm told it's not as good. This movie is one of the best crime-mystery movies ever made. Be aware the movie opens with a graphic act of sexual violence. The story that follows is a fantastic, tense, drama-mystery with fantastic dialogue and perfect storytelling. SPECIAL FEATURES - audio commentary! featurettes! This bluray has the full treatme...

Super enjoyable sequel to the first Equalizer movie. Excellent action with visceral violence and clever situations. Fuqua is one of the best action-movie directors alive. It's a worthy sequel to the first one. However, that being said, it's not as good. The action is just as good, but the story isn't quite as satisfying. SIDE NOTE: Even though it's my least-favorite Equalizer movie, it has my M...
