Taken: Pilot (2017)
Season 1, Episode 1
4/10
Reimagined and ruined.
28 February 2017
Liam Neeson looked the part when playing this character in the films. He was rugged, moved like a fighter and was convincing The lead in this TV re-imagination looks like a music teacher rather than ex special forces / CIA. He can not move like a fighter and has the acting skills of an oak tree.

Jobs (2013)
4/10
I felt like I had been cheated.
17 September 2013
This turned out to be a very disappointing film indeed. The life of Steve Jobs is massively colourful and electrifying and yet this film manages to portray him as an egotistical jerk with no redeeming qualities.

At times you are not sure when or where you are and the rest of the time you will find yourself wondering when something will actually happen.

So much of the best of Apples and Jobs history have been left out of this Movie that I felt like I had been cheated.

It promised so much and yet failed to deliver.

Spoiled by Keanu.
10 August 2013
OK, first of all I am not a fan of subtitled films so the fact I watched all of this says a lot.

The lead is a very good actor and martial artist who I hope gets a lot more screen time.

The storyline is acceptable and the general level of acting is good.

The only thing that spoiled this film for me was Keanu Reeves.

His character was like a evil version of Neo from The Matrix. Even his clothing was similar.

The fight scene at the end was unbelievable and spoiled what was otherwise a very good movie.

Diabolical

This was the worst film in the series by far. I understand it was rushed out but the script seems to have been written by a 10 year old.

The characters were cardboard cut-outs. Actually I think I would have had more of an emotional connection to cardboard than the cast.

The storyline and I use the term in the loosest possible sense was so jumbled it was nigh on impossible to keep track of what was happening and when it was happening.

I am so glad Doug Bradley refused to appear in the film as he would have shone so brightly among the others the screen would have just been a white light.

So Revelations. Well if the word is translated as Apocalypse I think I was a valid title.

Don't bother to see this film unless you enjoy staring at wet paint.
