Dark Blue (2002)
Incredible, gritty cop thriller
I had never heard of this film until very recently which surprises me after having watched the film and been really blown away by how great the film is! Kurt Russell delivers a powerhouse performance as a conflicted cop on the wrong side of corruption. I was gripped from very early on right up until the end. Incredible and captivating cop thriller drama with superb performances. Easily one of Kurt Russell's greatest performances and films. An absolute must see! A full 10/10.
Overboard (1987)
Laugh out loud genius comedy
I'm late to the party on this comedy but I've always been a big fan of Kurt Russell. My God, I laughed hard during most of this film. Genius concept for a comedy film executed brilliantly. Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn in the lead roles are absolutely fantastic with perfect comedic timing. It's set in a really great location of a town with a great supporting cast also. It's rare I'd give a comedy film a full 10/10 but this film was a golden 10 for me. I can't remember when I laughed so hard during a comedy film last. The perfect comedy film to watch for the first time during lockdown or for a revisit. I can't believe this film wasn't recommended to me before it's an true comedy classic. Definitely in my top 10 of all time favourite comedy films. Comedy gold! 10/10
Hush (2016)
Thrilling, claustrophobic domestic horror
I really can't say I expected this to be a great horror film but it most definitely surpassed my expectations for it. A deaf writer in an isolated house in the woods being stalked by an unknown predator. I could feel the tension in the pit of my stomach watching this. The film takes a lot of unexpected turns and really does a great job at keeping you guessing up until a rather satisfying conclusion. Better than it has any right to be for a rather simple horror setting. Highly effective. A modern horror classic. Top marks.
Death Sentence (2007)
Best vengeance film ever.
Outstanding vengeance thriller, pure and simple. Amazing performance from Kevin Bacon in this absolute edge of your seat thriller. Full 10 out of 10.
Death Wish (2018)
Not as bad as I expected.
Not as bad as I expected given how much Bruce Willis phones in his performances as of late. Maybe his best performance in over 10 years and it's worth a watch, it's not great but it's really good. If you want a better version of this check out Death Sentence with Kevin Bacon. Far superior film.
The Gift (2015)
Superb film. One of the all time great thrillers.
What to say about The Gift? Amazing plot. Amazing acting. Great casting. The Gift is expertly plotted and executed by director and lead actor Joel Edgerton. Can't wait to see what he directs in the future in this vein. Jason Bateman's best performance in a feature I've seen. Joel Edgerton as always delivers a perfect performance that intentionally unnerves you and really makes you question his character and motives throughout. Easily one of the most gut wrenching twists in a thriller I've seen in my life. Perfectly executed. Deserves the full 10 out of 10 hands down.
Beyond the Woods (2018)
Great compact horror movie
Very impressed with this flick. Not at all what I expected given the slasher cover and a bad trailer with worrying font. A-list worthy acting talent on show here first off. The director delivers quite a unique blend of horror and drama which builds in tension perfectly. Amazing location. Will be interested to see what he does next.
Vice (2018)
Great film but got a bit muddled towards the end.
A great film with superb casting/acting. Would loved to have seen more of Sam Rockwell's George W. Bush which was hilarious. It just felt like Adam McKay wasn't sure himself what he wanted to do with the narrative towards the end was all. Still a great film well worth checking out.
Élite (2018)
Great TV drama
A very engaging drama with brilliant characters and top quality acting talent. Great production values and locations too. Bring on more seasons of this show please. A great example of foreign Netflix quality TV series.
Our House (2018)
Definitely worth the watch
I was a bit reluctant to watch this film on Netflix and I'm glad I did. Definitely better than I had expected. Nothing completely original or anything but a very well executed film with some very effective moments. Definitely a great watch!
Heartthrob (2017)
Fantastic film.
Can't believe some of the negative reviews on here. It's a brilliant film that truly takes you by surprise. I found this utterly gripping. Couldn't recommend this film enough. Watch it while it's still available on Netflix.
