RoboCop: Rogue City (2023 Video Game)

True sequel.

[8/10 · 22 January 2024]

Really a true sequel. Yeah some bugs. Specially the character designs felt like a very last gen although the level designs were the next gen .

This game was gritty, gory and made ya felt like RoboCop however I didn't like that you could only explore one part of Detrot could brought more but so, so it was all about the story telling and some of choices effect it.

The makers really worked hard within the shooting controls and styles of combat from shooting thugs, from throwing them or throwing objects at them, punching or to go back to the gun firing blow off their limes or face off but the recation to see them was in pain as shot them in their jewls. This game had 80's action film style added into a video game your just going buy this if you love shooters or fan of the films one of the best action games of 2023, I'll buy that for a dollar! P.s maybe in 10 years time or 20 hopefully less they could make this into a real web series or netflix film or something you would buy that for a dollar!

Abduction (II) (2022)

Highly recommend if your a Pak action nerd or u just love john wick

[4/10 · 1 November 2023]

Acting needed work, audio was over done, should had spoken Urdu instead of English most of the action scenes are done very well, sort of a mix bag of Taken and John wick.

Yasir Khan knows how to do badass fight scenes but his acting in this film I can't say, maybe it was the script I would like to give incredible credit to the stunt guys and fight performers such as Qadir Bhatti and Muhammad shahzee. Where is there credits on IMDB 😡 I hope they get more film work for there incredible work they done too make this film a awesome action film. Come on Pakistan tv and film industry you got some talented stunt fight performers!!!!

Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City (2021)

Should had just made it into a web series

[5/10 · 10 October 2023]

Literally they should had it was getting good but they too squeeze it all in 1 and 2 , they should had just done S1 manion house S2 Racoon city but a special edition with Jill valentine's within in the same event in, or just make Jill's story into a S3 .

Literally it was getting good but started too cut conncers and again and again and again, this cast and style would had really killed it in a real webseries. I feel so let down by half of the script screwed really they had interesting spice but the portion just started to be less better and more grease and less taste for story, info, expansion and climax. Hope one day there will be a Resident evil reboot webseries in the future.

Monster Hunter (2020)

Cool monster fights but dessert scene was too draged on.

[5/10 · 14 July 2023]

I doubt there's going to be a movie sequel but would prefer if they add this to the monster hunter game for the main story campaign or as add on but some kind of important mission. I like the idea of a sky tower a door way for other worlds yet again just think of the ideas of cross game monsters 😍, witcher, final fantasy monsters again, dino crisis, resident evil monsters, dragon's dogma, Devil may cry monsters and Onimusha.

I would prefer of this is added in monster hunter world 2 or something because they mostly already had the important characters from MH World 2. This film was awful but could had been polished better instead half of the film forced on one monster, I feel the idea could get wasted if not given an chance by Capcon.

Lackadaisy (2023)

Something finally outside of the box, but something that should be more in the box. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[9/10 · 18 May 2023]

I can love anime characters and even specially this style of character designs. Brilliant 👏🏼 👏🏼 What I would love more in animal base characters in a funky animation style like this💗💓💗💗💗💗💗💗 if was rich enough I would be happyly fund it.

Hands down too the team for this new style of brilliant, I'm for going on but the stupid required isn't letting me go in peace, all I can say this style of art style is something not too forget.

A must watch for animation lovers, I think if this is more successful it should get dubbed in Japanese too start a Japanese fan base, this something new for the animation world.

Lazarat (2019)

Didn't knew Albanian first native language was English

[6/10 · 2 January 2023]

It's a fun blast for a B FILM.

Nothing new except based in Albania with English speaking actors mostly from Hollywood and few from Russia, shot in Albania but not funded by Albania production all main actors aren't Albania but playing as Albanian characters, only Albania actors were the police armd forces and the extras.

I would say should had brought Albanian speaking actors too do the job instead non related Albania actors🇺🇲🇷🇺. Just I think it would had been more Albanian, if they brought Albanian speaking actors. I'm not Albanian for your information just would prefer native tongue like when the romans spoken posh English in Gladiator because everyone knows the Romans were British.

Karachi Division (2021)

Felt more like a 2 hour budget crime film

[5/10 · 15 June 2022]

It's alright the script not the worse, felt like episode 1, 2 and 4 felt like a drag on, main actors and performance were great but I feel if the script was more shorted instead just adding unnecessary details of some of the character's, too be honest I liked Karachi Division but it felt more like a low budget movie with main good actors in it, I now want a part 2 too see how it ends since it ended with a cliffhanger. Few notes some of the audio wasn't good for some scenes, and the way the film was shot like a very low budget although the content in the film says other wise. Karachi Division was sort of like The Shield with Narcos in a low budget. I would prefer in my opinion If the awsome Shamoon Abbasi forces more on directing films instead of a series in my opinion. I'm a big fan of Shamoon Abbasi because he thinks outside of the box instead follow Lollywood gerne fashion.

The Tax Collector (2020)

Should had been on a smaller platform instead silver screen.

[4/10 · 23 April 2022]

20 million dollars was spent on this, the story wasn't even extra spicey no proper plot just plane really plane so plane u wonder why people call other movies plain when u can tax collector story is plain. These are the type of films that hit on dvd or today digital but other low budget films that come on digital at least kicks abit more for spice but this could used a budget at least 10 million or just 5 million, 20 million spent on what! Did most of the money gone to the actors. There was a few action scenes, good actions scenes but anyone that watches and wounders 20 millions dollars can do more then that but and people complained about Sabatage.

Gumm (2019)

It was not bad at all for a B indie film

[5/10 · 30 December 2021]

A very low budget, the woundering around the forest felt small but then showing the land scrape than just right down into the characters moving around a small world felt like a maze where only one will come out alive. For adding wolves ofcourse they couldn't really add real wild animals without a specialist whose trained in that, so u can hear them but they move faster so can't see them and only when you can see is in the dark well that's when balance the effects out with the dark and colour grading back in headquarters, overall the wolves felt more spiritual than natural in the environment, but this felt like a physicalogacly since the forest environmental they were in felt small too the viewers eyes. Actions scenes felt stiff and not the best but apepecable for a indie B film. I liked it but it's not my favourite film but it a very interesting taste.

Tevar (2019)

Was getting good but than a let down.

[5/10 · 8 December 2021]

It was actually getting good but then fist fight scenes style was ruined by the wrong style of fighting the characters were fighting like if they were trained armed forces or MMA or something. What really ruined the film was the the story was set about thugs breaking into someone's home and even attacked one of them, climax they killed the thugs that were in their home but since the police was coming the young male character's said he will take the blame for murder on the thugs and said I will be going away for a long time! Killing 4 thugs and intrude in your and attacked you was self defence he shouldn't be going away for a long time!

Escape Plan: The Extractors (2019)

Biggest let down

[4/10 · 17 July 2021]

Don't care if it had good actions scenes the script killed it! Very boring and slow then there was good actions scenes but can't be forgiven.

Baaji (2019)

Getting good but climax went sort of flat on its face.

[5/10 · 11 July 2021]

Not bad for a low budget film pretty well made, the story was getting better but when the climax was getting good it left the some stuff wish could see, just info but nothing else was hoping to see more. Overall wasn't bad just hope for a bit of some polish to make it perfect.

No Surrender (2018)

Shouldn't had advertised Scott Adkins as the main character.

[6/10 · 12 June 2021]

It's bad to miss lead viewers to think it's a main Scott Adkins film, it's good but not the greatest but I have to say something very to watch a arabica egyptian film, highlight a historical time 1952 in Egypt was a good education and getting to know more about culture and,, for anyone whose a arbab this would be a watch it for anyone plus I think more arab nations that have a filming should work together to make more interesting gernes, the time of crusaders war for the holy land, mongols invading Egypt and the time of the Ottomans invading the middle east, there's alot the arbab world can let the world know about their culture, community and history if all the film companies 🇦🇪🇧🇭🇯🇴🇪🇬🇰🇼🇲🇦🇴🇲🇩🇿🇱🇧🇶🇦🇸🇦industry start investing, and working together more.

Sher Dil (2019)

It's fine for a airforce film.

[5/10 · 29 April 2021]

I've seen both Parwaaz and Sherdil, I prefer Sherdil more because it forced on different characters who aren't Pakistani but from a different a land with their perspective of how they see. It was good they highlighted different characters from another background due our world in politics views, best part was some of the detail in aircraft combat but sadly not enough of it and more about the romantic relationship drama 😒. Hopefully in the future there will be gerne about historical, war, thriller, biography and action for Mughal empires, special forces, navy, hellcopter warfare, war on crime and military films more 🇵🇰

Tribal Get Out Alive (2020)

If you like cheesy 🇬🇧 horror with action than go on.

[5/10 · 17 April 2021]

If you liked Dog soliders, devil's play ground and redcon 1 then go ahead.

Drive (1997)

Drive 2:🙏 please it could still happen for 2021

[6/10 · 28 March 2021]

Epic action scenes crazy mix gerne try comdy but forced on the two character's friendship development.

Kataksha (2019)

No explaining or why in the ending.

[4/10 · 24 March 2021]

Good actors, solid filming, creepy a few jump scares but what scared me was the unknown, classic Blair witch project technique but the story building up leaded too no where since a unknown evil entity was following them all the way too the ancient Hindu temple just to kill them. Spoiler it was the care taker and it seems he plays when's the right time get them, overall he must been the devil. The fact is some of the character's were building up develop a respect to each other which that could had developed the plot and story more but it lay flat on its face but I will give it credit because not many Pakistan horror films creep me out like this one. P.S a good location to promote the country's historical values 🇵🇰 also it could been better if they just made it like found footage film I think the style would helped it to be even better as a horror film.

Toradora! (2008–2009)

Absolutely brilliant 😭😭👏👏👏

[8/10 · 9 February 2021]

Last episode almost made me cry too, one of my most favourite romantic animes 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭👏😢

Lily C.A.T. (1987 Video)

More about technology and man than the alien monster.

[6/10 · 22 November 2020]

No matter how far humanity pushes to go beyond the stars, technology they won't be able to define death, threats, problems and their emotions.

Death Stranding (2019 Video Game)

Powerful 😢

[8/10 · 10 November 2020]

Wasn't the action game I expected, had mixed thoughts but I wanted to save the world in the very, you feel very close to the character's as you push forward into the story as well as I've enjoyed building roads and zip lines to create a easy travel across the the valley. The combat isn't the winner but just a piece to help you push forward to the story, the gameplay is more about the travel and telling of the story 😢👏👏

Panipat (2019)

It wasn't the Mughal's that requested Afghans it was another Maratha faction that requested the Afghans.

[3/10 · 30 June 2020]

Very anti South asian, Islamic history this film was. Why their making their community thinking ever Muslim empire wanted to destroy peaceful Hindu civilization, that's what the film is trying to tell you. The Mughals already lost the war against the Marathas, sikhs, Afghans, Persians and a bit with the British, the Mughals this in history sat back from this war because they didn't had the resources like they use to since they mostly spent fighting with Persians, Rajupts, Sikhs, Marathas and with each other. The Mughal empire was attacked afterwards by the Persians then the Marathas, Final the British had a mughal sultan in their hand what was ever left. This film shows lies by showing another Muslim faction joining to destroy and take land, it was another Maratha faction that was in war with another Maratha, that Maratha requested the Afghans to get involved. Movies are going to make stupid historical nerds who get their history from films and TVs instead of the Internet or books!

Extraction (2020)

Great action epic but....

[7/10 · 6 June 2020]

This is just my point of view, but I hope not that the bangladeshi mob dosen't have the bangladeshi armed forces of the police and army in their pocket, because seeing so many armed men trained and funded by the government🇧🇩 only to be used for the wrong purpose of serving the mob when needed, that I hope is not true because I see so many getting their neck's snapped, shot, blasted, gutted, burned, blinded and so on. Made me think if they were guided by a leader who would fight the mob instead of serving them.

Hi Score Girl (2018–2019)

Last episode of season 2 was😢😭

[8/10 · 29 April 2020]

I don't know but this is one of my most favourite romantic animes😭 and that last episode of S2 made me cry, I'm 28 years old and I'm still single but that ok, at least I get to watch about other character's love and struggle in animes 😭😢. I know in real life love is more complicated but fuck that anime is awesome😭.

Viking (2016)

Very confusing time line?

[4/10 · 6 April 2020]

Amazing cinematography and battle scenes aswell talented actors but awful script for a story plot. I was convinced the film that vikings were in Russia and met Mongolians but than the Romans. Story shows it was a battle for a village home to hundreds of people, it looked epic showing a mix dispute between Christian and Nordia gods beliefs but, the script of the story slowly getting more odd and suddenly they just leave the village to conner a roman city, suddenly there was thousands of vikings? I thought they were defending their village from other rival vikings and Mongols. In the end the film was just promoting Christian in the worse anyoneing way, this film ruined my love for historical action flicks! The script writer is a creepy goon!

The System (II) (2014)

Bad film

[3/10 · 25 March 2020]

Best actors were the elderly ventures but most of the young actors were the worst even the director did a poor job, plot had a good idea but was a bad made action flick with poor director and a bad main actor most of the time. Pakistan's film industry doesn't need more bad movies like theses!
