The Foreigner Movie Review

So I just saw the movie The Foreigner, a few hours ago, and I must say that it is an entertaining watch that should be viewed at least once.
Jackie Chan stars in this film as a man hunting down those who killed his daughter, as she was caught in the cross fire of a different political event.
This is a serious action film, were I don't think they cracked a joke even once. And you know what? It was kinda nice to see a serious action film that was well acted.
One thing that I truly applaud the film for is that every major character whether they are good or bad, you do understand their motivations for their actions.
The music score is forgettable in this and it's defiantly not the main focus of this film. Yet the color grading was done nicely to make scenes bleak when they needed too. The camera work caught the action perfectly, so well done to the videographers of this film.
The fight scenes make sense in the movie, there is no action for the sake of action. Every fight is done for a reason, and it's understandable why it's happening.
This movie doesn't really strike me as something that will be very memorable, but if I feel in the mood for an action flick then this one is on the list.


final score: 3/5

Dora and the Lost City of Gold Movie Review

Dora and the Lost City of Gold Movie Review This Was My Dad's Idea Well... I went and saw Dora and the Lost City of Gold today with my dad, and... the film was a lot funnier than it has any right to be. Dora and the Lost City of Gold is a live action adaptation of the Dora tv show on Nickelodeon. Dora, now a teenager, is sent to the City to live with her cousin, Diego, while her parents go exploring for a lost City. When her parents go missing, Dora and her new friends go and search for her parents. I can't believe I'm going to say this, but the movie wasn't half bad. There is a ton of tongue and cheek humor. There is some cringe to the Dora and the Lost City of Gold too, but remember, this is a movie made for kids. As a kids film, it does a fine job. The acting was fine, and for a kids film, everyone did alright. Isabela Moner, who played Dora, did a good job portraying the character from what I remember about the show when I was very young. What surprised...

Uncharted Movie Review

Uncharted Movie Review Not As Good As The Games I went and saw the movie Uncharted a while ago, and it was as I expected it to be. If you are a fan of the games, well... prepare for disappointment. Uncharted follows Nathan Drake (Tom Holland), a low level thief as he is recruited by Victor Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg) to go on a treasure hunt. As someone who has played some of the games, but not all, I have to say that the Uncharted film is what I thought it would be. A mishmash of all four games but not committing to any of them. The acting is a bit stale, and the plot is predictable. The camera work was fine, but the music was underused. Tom Holland should not have been Nathan Drake. He lacks the charisma, the attitude, and the charm. He may have passed for a teenage Nathan Drake, but he should have only been in a few scenes. I'm not the biggest fan of Tom Holland either long time readers may know. Now, onto Mark Wahlberg as Victor Sullivan. Mark Wahlberg is way too young to be playi...
