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

The Batman Movie Review

The Batman Movie Review A Solid Noir Film I went and saw The Batman the other day with one of my buddies and I must say, we really enjoyed it. Granted I don't think this movie is for everyone. The Batman follows Batman (Robert Pattinson) during his second year of crime fighting. When the mayor of Gotham is killed by The Riddler (Paul Dano), it is up to Batman with the help of James Gordon (Jeffery Wright), and Selina Kyle (Zoƫ Kravitz) to stop him. From a visual point of view, The Batman is gorgeous. Every frame is a painting. The acting is solid, the plot is solid. The musical score is outstanding. I personally loved the film, but there are some things in it that could off-set some Batman fans. I typically get into the acting first, but like you've probably already heard many reviewers say before, the city is a character in this film. Gotham feels real, grounded, and certainly not a place you'd want to visit. Corruption and crime run rampant at every level of society. The ...
