Force of Nature: The Dry 2
The girl and I were scrolling through Netflix and found this. Pretty crappy and forgettable. Eric Bana did his best but a bunch of women I cared nothing for went on a retreat in the wilderness, one got lost, Eric turns up and investigates……
Boring as fuck, some nice bush scenes and views helped a little bit.
1.5 corporate getaways out of 5 police investigations
The first one was decent.
Never saw it. The girl mentioned that when pitching the idea of watching to me. Apparently the one we watched has nothing to do with it and is crap in comparison
Yeah I can see how The Dry would have nothing to do with The Dry 2.

She’s a woman so she’s right.

The books match the movies as well, the original The Dry is great, I couldn't get through the sequel, which the second movie is based on. Luckily they made the movie so I could find out what happened in 2 hours.
Just boring and full of characters I cared nothing for.
Eric Bana always makes things a bit less shit though.

His turn in Black Hawk Down was quality

I feel like Bana should have had a more illustrious career to date. He has been in some cracking movies but I always thought he was destined for a bit more, he's a superb actor.

He wasn't interested in pumping himself or others in Hollywood. Hung back in Melbourne.

Victoria still has Bonnie Doon. Smell the serenity.

There are many beautiful places in Victoria and while Bonnie Doon might not be the highest on the list there is still something to be enjoyed there ( serenity ) even though its not Lake Wakatipu.

Fight or Flight: Fun action film starring Josh Hartnett. I had no idea what this was about when I went to see it, it just fit the time (the only other movies were horrors and I don't really watch them). He's on a plane trying to capture a fugitive and return them to his bosses to get his career back, only problem is the plane is filled with contract killers trying to kill them both.
It's totally implausible but a whole lot of fun with some vicious fight scenes. It's probably the closest I've seen a western film get to the Indo action films style I really love. Hartnett makes a good fist of the beginning of his slightly older guy action career.
Doesn't seem like it got a much of a cinema release in the rest of the world.
3.5 chainsaw kills out of 5.

Went in uninformed on purpose
Great pacing, lots of jumps, good acting
Interesting storyline but with an unexplained premise
3 blunt force traumas out of 5 skilled precision

The chick with the two minute noodles for hair from Ozark is a massive red flag for me, is she at least tolerable ?
