Review

I love how the film explores the lives of stunt performers who perform dangerous stunts but they are not appreciated enough. These unsung heroes put their bodies on the line but their works are often undervalued. This film is a love letter to all stunts performers around the world. The film also has the right mix of action, comedy and romance. Jokes are well-timed with a lot of movies references. I had a few giggles.The chemistry between Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt is charming.The action sequences are great. We get to Ryan Gosling set on fire, thrown out of the windows, falling from high places and in big car chasing scenes.

While the film's comedic and romantic elements are strong, the central plot involving the search for the missing star, though filled with twists and turns, but follow a predictable and less engaging path.

My Screen Times Score- 7

Borderlands (2024) Movie Review

Borderlands (2024) : A wasted Opportunity IMdb - 4.3 Rotten Tomatoes (Critics) - 9% | (Audience) - 52% Genre - Action, Sci-Fi Runtime - 1 hour 40 minutes Rating - PG 13 Review There are some great video game adaptations like "The Last of Us" and "Fallout", and then there are bad ones like "Borderlands" The story follows a rich man named Atlas who hires Lilith, played by Oscar winner Cate Blanchett, to find his missing daughter on the chaotic and lawless planet Pandora, which is also Lilith's home. I liked Lilith's character—she's strong, fearless, and a total badass. During her mission, Lilith meets Roland, played by Kevin Hart, a soldier who was the first to find the missing daughter, Tina. Roland rescues Tina from a prison and escapes with her to Pandora. Tina also meets a new friend named Krieg, who is big, muscular, and wears a mask. He instantly becomes her protector, but there’s no real explanation for why. Lilith also encounters a robo...

Civil War (2024) Movie Review

Plot The story is set in a dystopian near-future America in a civil war. A team of military-embedded journalists traveling from New York to Washington, D.C to interview the President before rebel factions attack the White House. Review The movie does not provide a clear explanation of how and why the war started. All we know is in the distant future, some Western forces are trying to kill the president. So, people looking for political reasons might not be satisfied. As four journalists journey across the country to interview the president, they encounter a lawless, apocalyptic world divided by small armed groups due to the civil war. It is on the road trip that the film successfully shows us the war's impact on civilians and the harsh realities of life in a fragmented America as realistically as possible. The film also successfully shows us the terror and sacrifices journalists endure to get their stories. It showcases the dangers of their profession, especially during wa...
