One of the worst and most hyped films I've ever seen. I absolutely don't get what this flick wants to tell me.
Besides that, it is neither thrilling nor entertaining, so I can only hope that there is a message and deeper meaning to it that I just don't get... However, I would recommend to stay away from it if you expect a SciFi thriller because I know for sure that Blade Runner is not thrilling at all.
After all these years, i finally take time to see that movie... Boring till the end :-(
Quintessential holiday classic…might just make it a yearly tradition. Giamatti masterclass
The warm, authentic 70s vibe emanating from this movie really is something. From the film grain, the lofi credits, the static camera with pan and zoom only, it really sells the aesthetic right from the jump and never lets up. On craft alone, The Holdovers is a worthy watch, but that would be a disservice to the melancholic-yet-heartwarming tale being told. While you could argue that the plot is one of trope and predictability, the warm blanket it provides is perfectly fitting, and offers just the right stage to explore these three unusual characters. A lovely story about connection and finding friendship in the unlikeliest people, The Holdovers is a delightful movie that I can't recommend enough, especially with it being the season and all.
screw what the critics say this is a really good movie it has lots of action and is well paced and doesn't drag at all the story is a lot better than the last one it's a very entertaining film if your a fan of the movies like I am seeing "raiders of the lost ark" when I was a kid you won't be disappointed
Great movie, which gave me a couple of laughs and kept me entertained the whole time.
The cast has good chemistry and does a great job. Ryan Reynolds basically plays his funny and saracastic Deadpool/talkshow persona, which I personally really enjoy.
Would recommend and looking forward to the sequel :fingers_crossed_tone1:!
Wow, what a heavy true story. Very emotional film, so hard to watch. I'm angry and sad. I just couldn't finish watching it. As John Le Carre said about the book: ‘A vision of hell, beyond Orwell, beyond Kafka’.
The Mauritanian just shows you how the US is the greatest offender of human dignity. Americans are just as evil as they come. This movie is a great reminder of America's real image and how fucked up, how deeply depraved they are.
Mohamedou Ould Salahi was held for fourteen years without being charged for a crime. 14 years without charges!! Unacceptable! And Salahi could have seen his mother if only Obama, (Americans liberals favorite 'hero') had not opposed his release. Obama extended the man’s sentence for 7 years after he won his freedom because why not? Yanks can do it.
The Mauritanian, critical of American atrocities, totally shut out of the Oscars. What a big, huge surprise. :rolling_eyes:
too many of you guys are coming on here crying and complaining about a movie that was meant to be as silly as this was. get your thumbs out your butt and just enjoy the craziness of it all. this movie was pretty good. it's not meant to be a masterpiece or a copy of kill Bill or John wick like you clowns keep saying. it's his own little parody of all those action flicks. smh.
I mean, really, what a cast! Karen Gillian! Lena Headey! Michelle Yeoh! Angela Bassett! Serious butt kicking action ladies! The premise is somewhere between KILL BILL and Film Noir (without the voice over). Life is cheap, violence is the norm, one girl can take out 29 heavily armed men. The whole film is hyperbolic, the mood is darkly humorous. A good way to waste some time not thinking. I give the film a 7(good) out of 10. [Action]
A fun, silly new mystery with the old gang. I appreciated that the story was centered on Lassiter this time since Omundson was unable to fully participate in the last movie due to his stroke. I would be totally onboard with the current trend of this cast reuniting to make a movie every three years continuing indefinitely; it's reliable comfort viewing.
I've missed these crazy characters. As usual, the mystery here isn't the focal point, but it's still solid and it still gets solved. No, the focus is the characters and their interactions and, most importantly, the real-world ties that led to this Lassie-centric episode. I can usually tell when a cast is tight, and this group convinced me early on that they got along just fine when the cameras stopped rolling. So it didn't surprise me that they all took Omundson's stroke hard and went out of their way to make him a big part of this one, and I love 'em all for that. And other than a few isolated moments when the comedic timing was showing a bit of rust, this one was otherwise cringe-free and a ton of fun. And man, it was great to see Omundson doing so well after such a serious scare and setback. Here's hoping that he continues to make such an amazing recovery, and I hope that we see another of these movies sooner, rather than later.
I don't get the low rates on this movie. If you want a spacial bang bang go watch Star Wars, and leave theses kinds of movies to more mature audiences
The weaker it gets, the louder it gets. The less creative it gets, the busier it gets. And it was very loud and very busy.
The whole cast was really well chosen, but Malek...Oh, Malek did just a phenomenal job here! He really shows his caliber as an actor, absolutely worth seeing!
