Fall (I) (2022)

They missed a trick

[7/10 · 15 April 2023]

First two acts were quite strong. Great visuals, nice commentary on the deadhead, streamer generation and a pretty solid foundation for what could have been a classic.

I honestly thought the whole third act of this film would be them descending the tower as it fell apart around them, but no. Once they were up it was all set at the top. The rest was pretty good but I think they should have figured out how to start climbing down as it all fell apart around them. And the thieves needed to get a piece of it through their skulls.

But of a missed operation which is a shame as it had the potential to be a classic.

Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (2003)

An insulting mess of crap

[1/10 · 4 April 2013]

Just awful. For a start, even when this film asks you to suspend belief in the name of cheesy entertainment it's impossible to do so because the action scenes are so inane and inaccurate.

The first scene is a prime example: The Angels are discovered trying to free a prisoner from a Mongolian tavern. Facing off against twenty men one of them slides under a table doing some kind of limbo manoeuvre, while another jumps across the frickin room and slides into place next to her buddies on a chair. Then when they are fired upon by a guy with a massive gun they fly vertically into the air missing every bullet! The next shot has them jumping horizontally through windows! NONE OF IT MAKES ANY SENSE!!! Where's the consistency? It's an insult on our intelligence to actually watch.

And it just keeps going and going with crap scene after crap scene.

And what's with the weird in-joke with the thin man? ITS JUST PLAIN BIZARRE!!!

Watch if you are looking for a film to ridicule and roll around laughing about how terribly made it is. Do not watch if you want a coherent film.
