Momentum (2015)
Good, and where's the sequel
As usual, when the good person has a gun pointed at the bad person, she talks instead of shooting. It would be a short movie otherwise!
But it's captivating from start to finish and well worth watching.
The International (2009)
Superb film to keep your interest
This has a good plot, good acting, and excellent production. it makes you think and it's impossible to get disinterested. Well worth watching
U.S. Marshals (1998)
A good follow on from the Fugitive
This is similar: good guy gets arrested for a crime he didn't commit. He gets chased by the US Marshals. But the plot is good and believable and so too are the action scenes.
The Post (2017)
Comparison's are valid with today's occupant of the White House
This is a great portrayal of the events surrounding the publication of the Pentagon Papers, with absolutely great acting all round.
One understands the characters and their convictions, whilst knowing the risks they must take. In the end, it is quite a year jerker.
We all know the Washington Post goes on to become a very successful national newspaper, so it's no surprise that the movie has a happy ending.
It makes me want to learn about the events that occurred prior to, and after, this movie.
Definitely worth your time.
Ghost in the Shell (2017)
Very different and thoughtful
This is a weird film that many people may find objectionable because it is so unusual. Although the place may seem infuriatingly slow at times, I found it entertaining and captivating; the scenery is always imaginative, the music befitting, and the story is credible.
Scarlett looks as beautiful as she has on any film so that's a great addition.
Definitely worth the investment of time and money.
Forces spéciales (2011)
Great movie with flawed plot
The scenery and acting seem authentic (to one who was never there). However, to escape the team trudges for a week over the mountains and when they get down at the other end then *surprise* the bad guy is there waiting for them, It just isn't credible.
If you can suspend belief about the plot is is a great movie, but beware, there is a tear jerker at the end!
