The Last Heist (2016)
Horrible
Don't waste your time! 1.5 hours of total garbage and they want at least 10 lines of review where I have the difficulty of writing even one line. Don't waste your time! It tells the tale of a gang of unlucky bank robbers who, mid-job, find themselves trapped on the premises with a serial killer who gleefully embraces the opportunity to slaughter a smorgasbord of new victims. The psycho, Bernard, dubbed "The Windows Killer" due to his propensity to remove the eyes of his victims—he takes quite literally the idea that they're the window to the soul—is played by Henry Rollins. Clad in a nondescript dark suit, Clark Kent-style glasses and sporting a gray buzz cut, the rocker/spoken word artist/actor is supremely creepy as the deceptively calm madman who has mastered his craft. After slashing one unlucky robber's femoral artery, he authoritatively informs her, "I estimate you have 9 minutes to live," although not without adding the caveat, "I'm no doctor." After eagerly inquiring how it feels to have the life draining out of your body, he considerately points out, "I'm not laughing at you
I'm laughing with you."
The Hunger Games (2012)
Not worth the hype
Went today with my two daughters (12 and 4). My 12 year old said she thought it was OK but that it was slow. For me, it is one of the worst movies of my lifetime. The plot is weak. The storyline develops into a very slow climax. The film set is boring with very weak lighting. The camera is shaky to the extent that it can make you dizzy - a similar feeling to that when you take a ride on a bus that takes winding roads up and down a hillside. The female lead (Jennifer Lawrence) has acted well, though. For the first and last time, we got drawn into seeing the movie based on the marketing and hype that built up into a crescendo. I would not recommend seeing this movie in a theatre. Wait for the DVD copy or for the movie to be shown on TV maybe 6 months or a year down the line.
