William Kelly's War (2014)
Worth a watch- a good alternative to the 'blockbuster'
I guess it's all about expectations, having watched this film with no high expectations on the quality of acting, script or sets I was very much surprised. I found it a very enjoyable film and gave it a 6/10. The cast acted fine for the script, it was no 'Saving Private Ryan' and I was not expecting a high quality experience when looking at the cast. For me it was well worth a watch and I am glad that I did, well written, great landscapes and the war scenes were realistic enough. If you like war films to be gritty then this has it but also there are two stories going on here which merge well.
Again, my expectations may be low, but at the time of writing/rating this had a score of 6.4, not bad for a low budget offering and I look forward in seeing the cast in future projects.
Death Note (2017)
Worthwhile effort but - stick with the original
I guess as with all previously made Asian Horror flicks Hollywood has to go down the remake trail, but history shows us that there is little success in trying to mimic what has been previously done so well outside of the USA, this is no exception.
It is worth a watch and it does provide a good mixture of twists and was made on a good budget. I have given this a 5 and I do not regret watching it, it does however prove to me how good this genre is outside of Hollywood, 'Rings' is another example, some things may be better off left alone.
