Jane Got a Gun (2015)
Nothing new
I had high hopes for this film because the lead is a woman. But I was so very disappointed. This western story has been done to death and putting a woman as the hero did not help. I saw nothing that I have not seen before. I was not impressed by Portman, with her oh so fake and over done southern accent. The first two flash backs were well placed, but the rest were not needed. The chemistry between the two was a flop.I now understand why I did not see much about this film before I watched it. For this lover of westerns it was a big let down. This film added nothing to the western genre. The 'big names' associated with this film did not help, they are better actors than this. Don't pay to see it wait until you can watch it for free.
The Finest Hours (2016)
Exciting
The film began a little slow, but then... the tension begins and suddenly you find yourself riding to the top of the big hill on this wonderful cinematographic ride! The thrill began for me when the weld started singing. You know it is going to happen, but you cannot help but gasp and feel the fear. Unlike 'The Poseidon Adventure'; this film made me swear off going on a cruise. Some of the Boston accents were a little overdone; and some of the acting was a little forced. A little more time could have been spent on the primary character's back story. But overall, this film showed what true heroes are. I would not allow a child under 12 to watch this film, it is that intense.
The Trust (2016)
Wait until you can see it for free
HUGE fan of Nick Cage, so thought this would be a good movie....well there is some good acting (NOT Wood)but the ending is a real let down. It seemed like the writers didn't know how to end the movie. Wood's character is the same one he plays in every single movie he is in. It was nice to see Jerry Lewis, but I did not see the point of his character; maybe he needed the money? Nick did an okay job, but we have seen him play parts of this character before. Sad really, it started pretty good. The premise is good, but I don't know who to blame for the let down. In my humble...avoid it like the plague, or until it is free on a service provider.
