    @kruse i also watched that last night.

    Enjoyed. I also thought the soundtracks were odd, but seemed to work.

    4 landmines out of 5 back to the futures.

    Snatch

    Awesome film.

    4.75 go down in the 4th out of 5 can't trust a Pikey

    Still a toss up between that and Lock Stock as to which is his best film.

    It had more star power but it’s hard to top the original. Both brilliant I reckon. Loads of recycled actors too ( Jason Statham, Vinnie Jones, guy who plays barman/bricktop, guy who plays one of the four card guys/Brads pikey mate etc ).

    Rock n Rolla was cool but not in the league of these two.

    Whenever I think of Lock Stock I think of this guy, one of the rare occasions when a bloke is much tougher in real life than he is in movies. Absolute animal.

    What a legend. You don't want to mess with him!! All the characters in Lock Stock were great. I need to watch it again to remind myself of Guy's genius

    Yeah, I found Vinnie Jones hard man stuff a bit of a put on compared to some of the others to be honest. But still, what a flick, loads of colourful characters ( just like Snatch which makes it hard to seperate them )

    I found lock stock a little more stylised which I liked. Probably more the way it was shot and produced

    No right or wrong answers I suppose but perhaps we sympathised a bit more with Ed, Soap, Bacon and Tom than Turkish and Tommy ? But then Brick top was a better baddie than Hatchet Harry ( more screen time helped )......as I said before Snatch had much better star power but LSATSB had so many quirky weird hard cases as well......fuck it, I still have to sit on the fence overall.

    I think it's perfectly okay to enjoy both

    Boss Level:

    A video game repeat the same day/levels action film. An action Groundhog Day, or a more game orientated Edge of Tomorrow.

    This was actually a fun action film. Stars Frank Grillo, Naomi Watts, Michelle Yeoh and Mel Gibson.

    Yeah, so I got around to watching this.
    Fun.
    Dumb.
    Fun.
    Either there wasn't as much video-game as I expected considering this review and the title, or I just didn't get as many of the references as there might have been in there.
    Action-Groundhog-Day seems an obvious genre which hasn't been utilised as much as it could be.

    This was one of those movies when I thought I recognised the lead actor, or protaganist - if you'd prefer - and recognised him from.... I couldn't remember what. And decided I didn't want to remember what - because it would have been something terrible, and I just want to forget about the world and watch some stupid unrealistic fights and 'splosions and car-stunts for a while.

    3 using tangential video game references and effects to bring in the kids,
    out of 5 Bro... get some self-respect and just call it Ground-Kill Day like you originally wanted.
    And Mel Gibson telling somebody to just leave "race" out of it - classy.

    The Marksman

    Liam in good form

    3.5 Clints out of 5 El Caminos

    I'm going to have to disagree on this one.
    Straight up B (+) crap.
    The first 15 minutes - I was trying to figure out if it was pro-Trumpian Mexico-Wall dross, or anit-Trumpian-Mexico-Wall dross.
    Either way - it was going to be slightly entertaining shit.
    And then it just became a long slog of mildly interesting... slog. With some bullets fired.
    Just B-grade Liam. Just... nah.
    2 "Agathta, how did you fall so low"s
    .. out of 5 "Liam, you used to have a particular skill set"s.

    I’m taking your word for this @Kruse, your reviews so far have been accurate and at times inspired. To me it looks like Neeson being Neeson which these days is not a good thing. I’ll happily avoid it.

    I'm watching the latest dadsploitation movie, Nobody. Now the inciting incident is beating up some guys because they were drunk and got on a bus? They're really have given up.
