It may not appeal to anyone other than NZ rugby fans because Richie is single minded, relentless, down to earth and humble. Not nearly as interesting as a tortured genius like John Daly or Andre Agassi for example
Just saw an ESPN doco about Daly. Happy Gilmour combined with Homer Simpson, Kenny Powers and Nicholas Cage's character from Leaving Las Vegas.
That sounds like the greatest movie ever!!!

Did they confirm the rumour that clothing labels pay Daly not to wear their clothes?
No. I seem to recall he wears his own line. Winning two majors in and out of rehab all the time he was amazing when he was on

I Am Wrath
John Travolta plays Liam Neeson as Brian Mills impersonating an old Vincent Vega. Retired spy whose home life gets fucked up by pieces of shit gangsters. Corrupt cops do exactly jackson, so JT uses his very particular set of skills developed over a long career to track down said gangsters and extract revenge.
Detective Stabler has been fired from the SVU and now freelances, comes out of retirement also to help his old partner. Together they effortlessly track down everyone they need to, and beat the ever loving piss out of them, because drug dealing gangsters ain't shit. They can't even target a family properly.
When will these gangsters learn that hell hath no fury like a retired black ops operative whose family you have fucked with?
2.5 overly identifiable tattoos out of 5 old man ass whoppings
It's not terrible, just very very formulaic, and poorly written.

Think I'm gonna get drunk with a friend and watch it. Looking forward to the kiwi cultural cringe moments in particular.
Her IMDb page shows she's been in a lot of movies I have plans to ever see, apart from this one . Looks superb,
Poor old Michael Madsen is in it too,
What the Fuck Is Michael Madsen Doing with His Life?
The strange, slow star death of the actor who gave us Mr. Blonde from Reservoir Dogs, and American cinema's last real tough guy.

Colombiana
This was on Stan streaming service, had Zoe Saldana who, while otherwise is a bit skinny for my tastes, has a certain je ne sais quoi that I like. So fuck it - murdering shitloads of Colombians. Why not?
You can see Luc Besson's fingerprints all over this one, even though he was Producer and not Director. Bit of martial arts, lead female, heaps of guns and splodey stuff. Not enough tight shots of tight Zoe, but overall watchable.

I managed to locate a copy and was very a intriguing and sad watch, but definitiely gives you a good insight into Daly.
@Tim Eric Roberts is in pretty much every d-grade movie made in the past few years.

That's pretty generous M4L. It's a massive stretch taking JT seriously with his ridiculous hair, strangely immovable face and Dad bod to beat all Dad bods.

Good old Michael Madsen. Shit he was cool. Operative word being 'was'. Awesome article. I did go through a phase of grabbing some crap while renting DVDs just cos he was in them. This was a short lived folly.
Still, a handful of awesome roles ( he woulda been great in Heat too ) is better than none at all....
