On my quest to rewatch all the Mission Impossible films. MI4 - Rogue Nation. Absolutely fucking superb. One of the finest action films ever. Special shout out to Simon Pegg who absolutely nailed it, and to Rebecca Ferguson in a bikini. God DAMN. 

9/10

I have honestly not watched a single one of these but one of them was on telly either yesterday or the day before and Rebecca Ferguson was on the screen and now I have to watch them all (I know she's obviously not in them all)

The Killler - 8 out of 10

Netflix film directed by David Fincher and starring the superb Michael Fassbender as an assassin. An enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours.

 

As for the Mission Impossible films, I wasn’t that taken with the first two, but loved them all from MI3 onwards. Much more fun than the latest Bond films, and don’t take themselves as seriously as the excellent Bourne films did. 

[Anubis]

The Killer -4/10. Totally unoriginal plot. Curiously devoid of action for a film about an assassin. Little in the way of character study. And Fassbender spends half the film dressed like Kevin from the Kevin and Perry Ibiza film.

 

Fincher and Fassbender dialling it in for a quick money grab from Netflix. Given some of the great films Fincher has made, this is a disappointment.

Watched The Killer last night and really enjoyed it. Not sure how to rate it though. It’s more moody and atmospheric, than full on action - and yet I was immersed to the end. 8/10?

1. Spot on about the first two Mi's

2. Stop getting Bond wrong. Don't want Bond to be fun.Octopussy/Moonraker, fuck you Roger Moore. Bond is a  00 assassin.

3. Bourne rocks the joint.

I'll even up the score on The Killer and give it a 4.

 

Echo everything Anubis said. Just found it boring and I'm pretty sure at one point of the film I was sitting there wondering if there had been any dialogue for about 10 mins.

Fincher and Netflix need their heads banging together and get a season three of Mindhunter sorted.

Too expensive, apparently. Fincher made massive use of CGI to make scenes look authentic to the period and it cost an absolute bomb. Shame, he didn't really need to do that, but he is pretty obsessive.

[Juniper]

Quite enjoyed The Killer 

 

Not his greatest film, but still enjoyable from Fincher I thought. 
 

Reminded me of Panic Room in places, in terms of an easy plot, look of the film and sound design.

Struggling, mate.

 

Found this one which has English subtitles. I think you need to register a free account.

The Great Escaper

 

Tells the true story of 90 year old pensioner and war veteran Bernie Jordan and his trip to France for the 70th anniversary of the D-Day landings.

 

Michael Caine and Vanessa Redgrave are both brilliant in the lead roles. Subtle, understated and all the more powerful for it.

 

Wonderful film.

 

9/10 NERD

The Killer - sort of good, fairly predictable, demonstrating the mechanics of being a killer for hire. Leon, it is not, though not a total waste of time. 

6.5 Smiths out of 10 Portisheads. 

[Geoff Woade]

I thought the Killer was utter shite. The main character was just a bellend to the point I hoped he copped for it. 
The lack of realism when it came to people not escaping or making a scene when they could have was ludicrous as well. Along with the randomness of the people he killed or didn’t. 
Fuck that film, what a waste of a Saturday evening.

Go Tell The Spartans

 

1978 Vietnam War film, looks like they shot it on the set of MASH, with the same cameras and some of the same (minor character) actors.

 

Despite Burt Lancaster, it's not particularly good, though it is a fairly accurate.

Haven't seen it and it's not my usual type of film but her in a bikini makes me want to. She's unbelievably gorgeous. Girl On A Train Is stocked full of 3 unreal woman. 

[manwiththestick]

Bloody Hell.

 

Hard to describe this, slightly comedy/horror with a hint of Tarantino.

A man thwarts a bank robbery but ends up going to jail following an accidental death, on his release he decides to go to Finland, when he arrives at Helsinki Airport he gets in the wrong taxi.

 

I liked this, it's an odd film and a bit hit and miss but kept me watching. Special mention to Meg Fraser who is absolutely stunning.

 

6.5/10.

Is right but the film is terrible compared with the book, which is a belting read.

I haven't read the book but a few women I know have. The film is decent I think. Emily Blunt is a superb actress.

Saw 3 films this weekend. The Killer which I enjoyed. Not great but not as bad as some are making out. 7/10. Then Saturday night saw Interstellar for the first time. Really good. As with some of Nolan’s films the plot required your complete attention but beautifully done. 9/10. Then today saw Nicholas Cage’s new one at the pictures with the missus. Dream Scenario. This was a pleasant surprise. Cage is on great form. Very funny and an interesting premise. Tails off a little bit towards the end but still a great watch. 9/10.

The Burial 10/10

Can't recommend this film enough. Jamie Fox and Tommy Lee Jones are superb.

True story.

 

The Exorcist 5/10.

This film scared the shit out of me when it came out. It has its moments but drags on a bit.

Whatever you do, don't bother with the new one. It's appallingly bad.
