The Promise (2016)
Outstanding
Armenian Genocide Outstanding movie which is both a Love Story, plus Drama. Had no idea of the extent of this WWI history, most know of WWI and the Gallipoli Campaign this gives one a different look at the role the Turks acted and performed.
Well played and lot of drama and action.
Insight: In 1915, leaders of the Turkish government set in motion a plan to expel and massacre Armenians living in the Ottoman Empire. Though reports vary, most sources agree that there were about 2 million Armenians in the Ottoman Empire at the time of the massacre. By the early 1920s, when the massacres and deportations finally ended, some 1.5 million of Turkey's Armenians were dead, with many more forcibly removed from the country. Today, most historians call this event a genocide–a premeditated and systematic campaign to exterminate an entire people. However, the Turkish government does not acknowledge the enormity or scope of these events. Despite pressure from Armenians and social justice advocates throughout the world, it is still illegal in Turkey to talk about what happened to Armenians during this era.
Bad Frank (2017)
3/10 rating and not well written
Bad Frank, this one starts off slow, however you soon understand the script, you can visualize what is next to happen, shame as the writers could of added more into it.
One area that they goofed up on was the racing scene in the bar, Bonecrusher is a Kiwi racehorse what won the 1986 AJC Derby, why they used an old race call is beyond me, however my ear's opened up, plus woke me up from a slight sleep at this point in time.
From this point on the action of the movie is predictable.
Rating this movie would be in the mid 3's, the story line from start to finish is easy to see where it is heading.
