Relay - wow. what a great movie. Very simple yet interesting 'service'. It's a relay service usually for people who are deaf but the agency / people are using it to be an anonymous service to do good / bad.
It's a thriller drama which I really enjoyed. Cast was solid despite it not being 'famous', Lily James I did remember her in Baby Driver - can't say she was the best but she broke out of the cute white girl pretty roles. Then we got Riz Ahmed who I really love his work in Sound of Metal - he was the reason why this movie worked. Lastly, we also had Mr avator Sam Worthington.
The ending is good, suspense was good, the cutting of the scenes kept the pacing intense. Ending is left to be interpreted and most likely a wth weak spot. Director was famous for Hell or High Water but it was a while ago.
Solid movie which I would recommend. Reminded me of Jason Borne without any fighting or crazy action. Don't expect it to be a typical ending with everything explained which was what the director wanted it to be.

Caught Stealing
Austin Butler is the lead and did not know he played Elvis which I loved. He has his charm in this movie; getting caught in a situation, mama's boy, baseball fan etc. Director was the guy who did 2 amazing film - The Wrestler (Mickey Rourke as wrestler) and Black Swan (portman). The film did an amazing job with the script - the writer's had his heart in novels so a lot of things were really written well.
It sort of reminds me of Guy Richie's film to say the least. WIth a run time of almost two hours, it did drag on a bit long. Yes it did solid yet fast character development. It did some trama, romance, but most important intertwine 3 antagonist together while throwing in a minor twist. It's a bit. Then it wrapped all history, trama, life, and all characters all together.
It does seem a bit much at times. The thing that kept me going was Austin, he just has a baby face and 'stuck in trama' face that you just want to keep watching. Then there was action between 3 antagonists which made it interesting.
Maybe it was unlucky, maybe it was lack of star power, but man, too bad film like this did't make money and had some poor ass perfomrances.

^ i really liked caught stealing, was not expecting to give it as high as a rating. 8.5/10
Tron: 10/10, probably the only movie in the last 5 years that i had to look up the release date multiple times.
Was not disappointed, although i wish i watched it with an excessive surround sound system to "feel" in the movie. (Watched at VIP coquitlam).
Considering it was released yesterday, im very surprized the theatre was nearly empty. Maybe im the only fanboiiii.

Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale
Gosh, totally amazing. I was following the series when it first started. DID NOT think I would like it but each episode was just so nicely done.
Series - very British, very polished, extremely well written and happy go lucky type movie - not that it's always rainbows and unicorn but you go in and come out knowing the good guys will be good and bad people always lose. You just know it's light hearted yet well done. Can't explain it, there are no crazy sex, no bad negative rapey stuff. Pure positively written.
Now, each movie, and yes I have seen all. All of them have great script and so did this one. All of them have aged and every scene / character came back together ot make things work. I don't think there were ever any bad reviews on any of the movies.
It didn't quite wrap up all the previous characters or didn't do any stupid montages until the end. My wife has never seen Downton and still think it's truly enjoyable; movie had it's plot and sub plot. I am going to miss this.
Keep in mind,
2010–2015 Downton Abbey was a solid 52 episodes and it was still able to keep the movie spirit alive. Then 3 movies after.
If you want a good movie, decent outcome, nothing truly bad.. this is for you. Don't need to watch Downton to know all.

Only reason why i watched this was because Cillian Murphy produced and starred in it. Movie is not your typical movie. It's dull, slow and ends very poorly. You have to feel the pain of someone battling with mental demons and then to appreciate it.
It was great as a promotional movie on social worker etc. I'm a teacher part time and I can understand there will forever be outcasts. Thsi is beyond the extreme.
Very VIFF / TIFF type worthy movie but not a movie you would like to watch or worthy to say the least.
