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

“This is a safe space…”

Here is the trailer:

They Will Kill You delivers with fantastic fight scenes and a few welcomed twists to keep you entertained. Is it worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Sylish, well-choreographed fight scenes.

If you like films like, The Raid, Boy Kills World, and Bullet Train, then this is right up your alley. The fight scenes were fantastic and there were plenty of gruesome and bloody moments. The humor also worked well so that the material didn’t become too stale by the end.

Zazie Beetz is fantastic!!!

She dominated this film in the best way possible. This was clearly such a physical and powerful role and I thought she was believable and definitely one to root for. She was bad-ass and then some! Wow!

The other characters were fun to watch as well. I always love seeing Heather Graham show up in horror films.

The Cons:

No real plot…

Look, I knew this film was going to be about action and it delivered in that aspect. However, the majority of the film is filled with very loud music accompanied with fight scenes so if you’re expecting a well-layered plot, you won’t get that here.

There was a story-line at the back end of everything, but it wasn’t fleshed out enough. I still cared enough about the characters, but I could tell that wasn’t the goal of this movie.

So am I in or out?

I’m in!!

They Will Kill You is mindless fun with a strong female lead to root for against all odds.

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 “Full Circle” on Max: A Riveting Crime Thriller!

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

“It never begins…and thus it never ends…”

Full Circle premiered on Max on July 13th 2023 with the first two episodes available to stream now. There will be six episodes in total. Two episodes will release each week. The crime thriller mini-series stars Claire Danes, Timothy Olyphant, Zazie Beetz, and Dennis Quaid. Each episode runs for approximately 40-48 minutes.

A kidnapping in New York City connects several strangers, revealing long-held secrets along the way.

Here is the trailer:

Full Circle has a talented cast, an addicting premise, and plenty of layers to keep the audience coming back for more. Is it worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

All-star cast!

I’ve been waiting for Claire Danes to dominate the television screen again and she’s paired with Timothy Olyphant…talk about a dream come true! But that’s not all. We also have the charming Zazie Beetz and a number of other fantastic actors. There is a lot of talent here and I’m just hoping each character gets enough time to shine in six episodes. So far they are doing a great job and I’m waiting for Claire Danes to channel her inner Carrie Mathison already!

A solid hook.

I wasn’t sure how I felt about this series at first, but by the time I got to the end of episode one, I was completely hooked and I was immediately pressing play on the next episode. I wish I didn’t have to wait for more episodes because this series is really addicting and I already have a lot of working theories.

This series doesn’t follow your typical crime thriller formula, but it is still doing enough to captivate our attention completely and I can’t wait for the rest of the puzzle pieces to come together. This is a consuming watch already and I can’t wait to see more!

The Cons:

A lot to keep track of…

At one point I thought I was watching two different shows. Be prepared for a lot of sub-plots. I am confident that everything will connect by the end of each episode, but you do need to pay attention to this one. This style may not be for everyone, but so far it isn’t getting in the way of the crime mystery at the center.

So am I in or out?

I’m in!

Full Circle is an engrossing watch filled with plenty of secrets and thrills to keep you tuning in each week.

A VACATION TO DIE FOR…

Blood Rose Island Ad

When sisters, Nina and Gemma are vacationing in Hawaii with their friends, they get invited to an exclusive party on a private island that seems too good to be true. There’s only one rule…they can’t miss their ferry at midnight or they’ll have to wait until morning to leave the island. Only they didn’t realize that breaking this rule meant they would be hunted down on the island one by one.

Who will make it off the island alive?

I hope you enjoy my new island thriller!

Spoiler-Free Review of “Bullet Train” in Theaters: An Absolute Blast!

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

“My bad luck is biblical…”

Bullet Train released in theaters on August 5th 2022. The action-comedy film stars Brad Pitt, Joey King, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Brian Tyree Henry, Hiroyuki Sanada, Zazie Beetz, Andrew Koji, and Sandra Bullock. It runs for two hours and five minutes.

An unlucky assassin takes on his latest mission on a bullet train, where he is tasked with finding a valuable briefcase, but he quickly learns that this task will be far from easy as he crosses paths with a number of potential threats along the way.

Here is the trailer:

Bullet Train is thoroughly entertaining with its welcomed humor and fun fight scenes. Is it worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Bullet Train Spoiler Free 1

Really fun characters!

The cast was absolutely incredible in this film and I loved every single character. Some cast members had smaller roles than others and we also got some amazing cameos, but I really loved the entire ensemble. I could watch this movie over and over again because of the character dynamics.

Loved every second of it!

Bullet Train Spoiler Free 2

Pure entertainment from start to finish!

This is one of those films where you can really just sit back, relax, and turn off your mind for a while. There was such a fantastic balance of comedy and action in this one and it really gave me a Guy Ritchie vibe, which was a good thing. I loved the setting of the train, which really complimented the fast pace. The fight scenes were a lot of fun and I’m always thrilled to see Hiroyuki Sanada showing off his skills in any film. He always dominates the screen!

The Cons:

Bullet Train Spoiler Free 3

The plot doesn’t travel too far…

I didn’t personally feel the need to dig deeper with this particular plot. I accepted the film for what it was and enjoyed every second of it, but if you’re looking for something with a little more substance and meaning, it’s lacking in that department. Again, I think this just comes down to preference. 

So am I in or out?

Bullet Train Spoiler Free 4

I’m in 100 percent!!!

A fun ride from start to finish with a talented cast! One of the most entertaining films I have seen in a long time!
