Here is the trailer:

I Will Find You is an exceptional entry into the Harlan Coben mini series, featuring plenty of thrilling and twisty moments that make this a binge-watcher’s dream. Is it worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Gets right to the point!

I love Harlan Coben series, but sometimes we need to deal with some slow burn set-up and side plots before things turn up a notch. That wasn’t the case with I Will Find You. It drew me in from the opening moments and kept the pace moving with each new episode, presenting the audience with fantastic cliffhangers and jaw-dropping twists. There was plenty of action jam-packed into this one. Once I pressed play, I couldn’t stop watching until I reached the conclusion, which was extremely satisfying after going on this insane ride.

Exceptional cast.

Sam Worthington was so convincing and compelling. I really thought he elevated this series in a lot of ways. There were a lot of other familiar faces in this series along with the amazing Madeleine Stowe. She always plays every part so well and I even felt her channeling some Victoria Grayson in this!

The Cons:

A little far-fetched…

I don’t have too many cons for this one. I love Harlan Coben shows and they rarely disappoint. I would say that things got a little far-fetched by the time we got to the end. This could have easily gone off the rails a number of times and maybe it did slightly, but it was still filled to the brim with so many fantastic moments that I didn’t really care. I was entertained and that’s what matters!

So am I in or out?

I’m in 100 percent!!!

(5 out of 5 stars)

I Will Find You is binge-watch worthy, packed with exceptional performances, insane plot twists, and tons of solid action.

One of my favorite shows of the year so far!

DON’T TAKE THE JOB…

It was only supposed to be temporary…but when Olivia Crewe accepts a new position that seems too good to be true, she soon discovers that twelve other girls previously had the same job as her. Only none of them lasted for more than thirty days. No notice. Nothing…right before they mysteriously disappeared without a trace.

Spoiler-Free Review of “Breathe” on Demand: A Waste of Air

**This is a spoiler-free review so feel free to read on!**

“You need to support each other…”

Breathe released on demand on April 26th 2024. The sci-fi thriller film stars Jennifer Hudson, Milla Jovovich, Sam Worthington, and Common. It runs for approximately 93 minutes.

Maya and her daughter live in a bunker when the earth becomes uninhabitable due to lack of oxygen. When two people arrive seeking shelter with information on her missing husband, she must decide whether or not to trust them.

Here is the trailer:

Breathe has a decent cast and a premise with potential, but does it do enough to earn a watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Recognizable cast.

One of the main reasons I tuned into this one was because of the cast. There were quite a few familiar faces and the premise had some potential. I’m getting a little tired of the post-apocalyptic genre, but I was hoping for a sci-fi version of Panic Room based off of the trailer.

We didn’t quite reach that level though…

The Cons:

Lacks suspense.

I really wanted to like this one, but it took itself way too seriously. The over-acting made everything laughable and outrageous. I was surprised by this because Milla and Sam have been in quite a few movies.

The movie was on the shorter side, but it felt like I was watching it forever.

So am I in or out?

Unfortunately I’m out on this one…

Breathe (2024) had the opportunity to embrace a straightforward thriller premise, but it lost itself along the way with a flat story-line and minimal tension, which was disappointing.

Spoiler-Free Review of “Lift” on Netflix: A Heist Movie by the Numbers

**This is a spoiler-free review so feel free to read on!**

“Nice doing business with you…”

Lift premiered on January 12th 2024 on Netflix. The action heist film stars Kevin Hart, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Vincent D’Onofrio, Kim Yoon-ji, Billy Magnussen, and Sam Worthington. It runs for approximately an hour and forty-five minutes.

A master thief is offered a job from an FBI agent, who also happens to be his ex-girlfriend, as he tries to pull off an almost impossible heist on an airplane with his team.

Here is the trailer:

Lift is basically Ocean’s Eleven without the finesse, relying on its cast and flashy effects to hold your attention. Is it worthy of YOUR next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Fun cast.

There are plenty of recognizable faces in this one to pull you into a mediocre film. That being said, I did enjoy the cast and thought that Gugu Mbatha-Raw stood out the most. She breathed the most life into her character and carried a lot of the team through some otherwise boring interactions.

The rest of the characters fit neatly into tropes, but I thought the cast did a decent enough job with what they were given.

Some of the fight scenes were enjoyable and I thought that the pacing improved once we actually got onto the plane, but it took a while to get there.

The Cons:

Lazy and uninspiring…

This movie wasn’t terrible, but there really wasn’t anything that memorable or unique going on here. It borrowed a lot from films like The Fast and the Furious, Ocean’s Eleven, and even Netflix’s Red Notice (although I liked that film a lot more).

I normally enjoy Kevin Hart in films, but this was a rough one for me. He needed some of his trademark humor to lighten things up. Everything just felt way too serious. This film needed to find the fun and embrace some silliness to make this one more enjoyable.

Everything just felt phoned in and lifeless, which was beyond frustrating. The movie wasn’t that long, but I felt like I was watching it forever and by the time I got to the end, I had already forgotten about what had I just watched…

So am I in or out?

Unfortunately I’m out on this one…

Lift is a movie I’ve seen a million times before. There were some entertaining moments sprinkled in here and there, but I was expecting a lot more.
