Heretic

2024

★★★½ Liked Watched

Atmosphere is grungy and soiled. Micro cast delivers your typical “what is the truth?” captive scenario similar to films like 10 Cloverfield Lane, The Old Ways, and Split. Not quite as good as any of those but the rainy storm and the tension is compelling.

From Paris with Love

2010

★★★ Rewatched

It had been a while and my recollection failed me as to Wax’s character arc. The movie is actually just fine and leans on a pseudo Rush Hour relationship, so if you haven’t seen and are wondering if you should, think Rush Hour without the comedy or martial arts; that.

Fantastic. Perfect prison exploitation film, in fact probably the best. So violent and so calmly over the top. Except for the near perfect Made and Swingers, I had written off Vince Vaughn entirely. Now he is back in the greatest role of his career. Not only was this meticulously carried out aggression but some of the violent acts were an absolute first I have seen on the screen. So happy this happened. Great watch with friends to wince and scream with.

Nothing new here. Guy has ants. Guy orders Russian bride. Situation escalates.
