The movie is mostly BS and the guy behind the org has left and started a new org because of claims of sexual misconduct. https://www.washingtonpost.com/style...nd-of-freedom/ Quote:
Tim Ballard, whose tales of going undercover to rescue children from international sex traffickers inspired the box
office hit “Sound of Freedom,” has been accused of sexually assaulting five women who joined him on his sting
operations.
In a lawsuit filed Monday in Utah, the women alleged that Ballard would “manipulate” them and coerce them into
sexual acts as part of his trafficking rescue missions via Operation Underground Railroad (OUR), the nonprofit he
founded.

what a slow paced crap b list movie.
Directed by Grant Singer (who also wrote it maybe that's why) it always seems so good in your head but not good when the movie is out.
Benicio Del Toro - has no emotions at all. Same for Justin Timberlake. Wow, where has Alicia Silverstone been. Last big movie I saw of her was Batman & Robin
1997 which Arnold was in. Well she's 47, she kept up well, definitely not as skinny as before.
slow paced, some type of drama, the thriller just wasn't as epic at all.
5/10

got tickets to see this tonight, pretty excited.
Nile + Orient Express were great with a twist / unpredictable ending which I couldn't figure out. Kenneth Branagh with his usual mustache, Tina F being in movies and having an asian Michelle Yeoh playing a "medium" yet her character is called ms. Reynolds.. LOL.
Kept it to style, couldnt guess who it was as always... I did guess what what they used and why it happened, maybe only 1/4 of a clue. I freaking love Agatha Christie. These well produced crime mysteries are great.

pretty legit chill movie. based on a real story
About friendship and really hit me hard on this particular line about accepting responsibilities.
"My last trainer / boat captain took me off course having me hit waves for 4 hours"
"That was all on you. You trusted a guy that studied the waves and currents but have never sailed at these currents."
it's so true... sometimes we blame other people but 99.9% we are to blame.
Man these two ladies are old... and many said Jodi did a great job just being herself....
not a bad watch esp a lot of action movies netflix now are so epic boring.

Quiz Lady - 7/10
Solid enjoyable comedy nothing mind-blowing but rare to come across these days, a solid middle of the road casual comedy.

The Killer - 8, maybe 8.5/10.
New movie from one of my favourite directors David Fincher.
A lot of callbacks and vibes to Fight Club, humorous at times, some brutal violence.
Definitely needs a few more rewatches but a solid David Fincher movie.

The end was ok so all in all it was a decent watch. Sarah and Akawaakwawfina both produced it as well. *surprise guest at the end which was bittersweet.

wow another car racing movie in hk.
lead guy - from china can't act at all.
it was just nice to see people racing in HK but man some of the CGI was a joke.
decent cast just i can't stand all fake CGI for racing at the beginning races in Macau and then in HK.
速戰 - 0/10

第八個嫌疑人 
super legit movie, made and produced by china based on a true story.
林家棟 is the only HK actor and he's decent and legit. Led a few movies and won a few awares in HK.
However, when you pair him against the antagonists, 董成鹏 known as Da Peng (Chinese: 大鹏), he was epic.
From the 80s look + hair cut + rich business man, then when you see him 90s to 2000... super legit.. .very well acted.
90s bank heist - unsolved mystery for 20+ years... true story
Decent watch, it's not gun fight everywhere, nothing crazy but just seeing a person during the 20 years was pretty legit.
8.5/10

I watched Killer too after some friends recommended it... I thought it was decent, I was rooting for him, but he's not as polished or thorough as he purports to be and honestly I just thought Fassbender was not the right actor for this role. He doesn't have the right voice or demeanour.
Also there were way too many monologues trying to sound like they had something new to say about humanity but a lot of it just sounded overly pretentious.

this is regarding gamespot training....totally did not see this moving coming... thought the ending fell short and didn't own up to anything.
good premise.... 7/10.... could have been much better but then.. movie didn't have much side stories to pull along...
