The Bricklayer (2023)
Borderline bad enough to watch for fun
If the beta of chat gpt wrote a spy movie where the person inputting prompts really wanted bricks to be part of the plot this would be the outcome.
My wife and I began to enjoy it for its silliness about midway through. The plot makes no sense. The dialogue is clunky. The most enjoyable thing about watching this movie is scratching your head at why they force meaningless plot line after meaningless plot line only to immediately burn it and move to the next one.
Some of the action sequences are decent. Lots of smashing various glassware over each others faces. The main characters take a lot of damage and are always beautiful the next day.
Good for background noise or a laugh.
Hunter Killer (2018)
Where are all the fish??
Got more than I expected from this action packed thriller. Tense scenes from beginning to end. Multifaceted plot that ties together reasonably. I'll watch anything with Gary Oldman in it but he is unfortunately not in as large a role as you'd believe as a top billed cast member. The acting of Gerard Butler is basically what you'd come to expect from him and he caries the film for the most part. I've seen a lot of comments knocking the realism of the film. I'm not in the Navy, so I can't speak to how all those sequences might play out. But for a movie that takes place in the ocean you would have thought you'd have seen at least one fish!
