Review: Those Who Wish Me Dead

Gambar
Those Who Wish Me Dead is an old-fashioned thriller in a bunch of ways, and not just because the last fire-fighting action film I saw was 1998's Firestorm , which is memorable solely because towards the end the aforementioned firestorm turns bad guy William Forsythe's head into a burnt match. That's the kind of thing you remember twenty years later; the events of this film, not so much. Despite Angelia Jolie's face looming large on the poster, this story turns out to involve a wide combination of plot threads, not all of which pay off. Jolie is Hannah Faber, a firefighter haunted by watching a couple of kids fry in a fire (we do not see them fry) and is now a thrill-seeking drunk. Her ex, local sheriff Ethan Sawyer (Jon Bernthal), knows she has a death wish, but good news: she's been posted to a desk job at a fire watch tower. There's no way she'll be able to kill herself there... unless she walks out the front door and jumps off the balcony. Meanwhile, a h...

Review: Spiral

Gambar
There was a period there where the Saw movies were so bogged down in continuity they all but lost sight of what made them work: deathtraps and plenty of them. We don't watch these movies for yet another shock twist reveal that some side character has decided to "carry on Jigsaw's work" - we want to see people mangled for some minor transgression by an evil puppet serial killer who thinks they're righting wrongs. So good news: Spiral ("from the book of Saw ") delivers on the mangulations and then some. Maybe leave pork off the menu for a while. The other element here - and it's literally the only other reason to see this film - is Chris Rock, who isn't playing Chris Rock but if you're a fan of Chris Rock you'll definitely enjoy the way he's playing a very Chris Rock kind of character. "What if Chris Rock was a cop trying to track down a serial killer while riffing on Forrest Gump and referencing New Jack City ?" Question ...

Review: Fatale

Gambar
There's occasionally some confusion in the movie world about the difference between "good" and "entertaining". "Good" is the kind of film that's considered for awards; "entertaining" is Fatale , a not-particularly-erotic thriller that's staggered out of the 90s like the last twenty years of television never happened. It's a very specific kind of experience, but if you're on its wavelength there's a lot of fun to be had - if not always of the kind the film-makers intended. There's a lot of plot here and not all of it comes from Fatal Attraction , but all you really need to know is that former sports star (just go with it) turned sports agent Derrick Tyler (Michael Ealy) is raking in the cash but for some reason his trophy wife (Damaris Lewis) has resting bitch face 24/7. So when he goes to Vegas for some business-related partying, he ends up sleeping with a Random White Woman (Hillary Swank), who rapidly turns out to be...

Review: Wrath of Man

Gambar
It's been a while since Jason Statham headlined a movie that made it to cinemas. His career never quite bottomed out in the mid-10s, but only because he pulled the pin himself after a string of tolerable (but increasingly only just) action movies that ground to a halt with a Mechanic sequel that barely qualified as a feature film.  It was basically a fluke of timing that saw his silly giant shark chomp-fest The Meg (which had been delayed for ages) become a surprise hit around the time he turned out to be the best thing in The Fate of the Furious. Biff bang pow, he was starring in a spin off with The Rock and his star was back on the upswing.  His recent run has put the focus more on his comedy chops (thanks in part to his stellar work in 2015's Spy ), presenting him as a somewhat gruff and lovable action geezer the whole family can cheer on. But his latest, highly entertaining film is a reminder that his career was largely built on the kind of action where a stoic tough gu...
