6 Hours Away (2024)
So Bad, it's BAD!!
Promising start and the beginning looks like a Fast and Furious rip off inc the title cards and fonts. Gets worse and worse in the following 20 mins even the villain looks like a Vin Diesel clone and the 2 buffoon Mexican brothers don't help at all. They try and add humour but only bring annoyance. In one scene the Mustang is driving along the river at the Mexican border then 2 mins later they show the same scene, it's so amateurish! None of the characters are likeable and you don't care if any of them live or die. Terrible script terrible acting and the story makes no sense. The action sequences look like a school play. Save your time and don't waste 1.5 hours of your life :(
Hunter Killer (2018)
Olympus Has Fallen - (Underwater!) Fantastic movie
Was not sure what to expect from his movie as most films that sell themselves with "From the Producers of...blah, blah, blah"- (in this case ,Olympus has Fallen and Fast and Furious) usually end up rubbish. I have enjoyed all Gerard Butler's action movies and this was no exception, it was like Olympus Has Fallen mixed with London Has Fallen, Hunt for Red October and Lone Survivor. If you liked any of those movies I'm sure you will enjoy this. It was a white knuckle ride from start to finish and never lets up the pace. Sure it has cheesy dialogue and a predictable plot but it is very well made and has great performances from Butler, Oldman and Nyqvist (in his final role before his untimely death last year) . Almost the best movie I have seen this year (inc. MI Fallout, Ant Man 2 and Venom) , just pipped at the post by Infinity War. Recommended without hesitation!
