Desperation Road (2023)
Sooooooooo slooooooowwwww and booooring
The story could also be told in 30 minutes. But it is extended until it is no longer possible. Watching the seemingly endless scenes made me vacillate between aggression and laughter because it's just boring and you want to speed up the actors yourself. Was it written by a sloth?
I don't understand why Mel Gibson, who has made super exciting films like Apocalypto, Passion Christ, Hacksaw Ridge, ... as a producer, did not noticed this and helpded out. Is it only for the money???
Halfway through the movie it was already clear how everything is connected, you wait and wait until the protagonists realize it and finally act.
Unfortunately, the big old stars are no longer a guarantee of quality anywhere.
Triple Frontier (2019)
Unlogical, predictable, needed fast forward at the end
It was time for the first real good Netflix film, but we still have to wait :/
The movie starts already with a logic error - to make a suprise assault its not the best idea to come with a loud helicopter???, but the police had luck, the bad guys had only one!!! grenade launcher, and so is the rest of the whole story, constructed, boring, low speed, not thrilling, logic holes, no real hide and seek, ... I was never afraid like in similar settings of breaking bad or Savages.
It mainly feels like a trip of 5 friends that have a weekend for fishing and big troubles because their beer passed the best before date ...
In the near end they reach a small rescue boat but are under fire, their reaction: keep standing upright in the boat and dont be affaid of bullets ...
Searching (2018)
2018 had a lot of bad movies, this one is a super tension diamond
Thrilling from the beginning to the end.
Great story, tension and perfectly produced.
After warching other big budget boring movies with lots of explosion, killings, flashes, blablala (e.g. the moving cities movie) this one was and is a fine masterpiece of storytelling, what a blast, wow.
