Hitman: Agent 47

It was quite an interesting Movie. I wholeheartedly enjoyed. I was kept on the edge of my seat. But more so, I was left questioning who should Katia (Price) believing. Either Agent 47(Friend) OR John Smith(Quinto). The film did eventually say who is who. For the purposes of the review, I won't divulge the information. ahahaha. But you will be pleasantly surprised. Great ACTION no doubt. A bit too bloody for my liking, however I understand this is part of the Franchise series and the movie is actually based on a VIDEO game. hahaahah.


PLOT

The film starts off with explanation of the Agent and how its made. We then are treated to great action of Agent 47. Agent 47 is hunting down Katia who herself is hunting down Litvenenko(Hinds) who we find out that he's her Pappie. However soemonesels is hot on their tale John hisemfl.

PS Please wait til END of the film, BEFORE Credits start rolling up. A clue is given. That's all I'm giving you. haahha

The Transporter: Refuelled

Simply put, not the best I have encountered throughout the whole series. Although this is a reboot of the trilogy of the past. I found the Frank(Kreins) character to be of weaker to a certain extent. Now while action was no short of it, I found it to be lacking. I loved the way they kept the majority of it. However with Frank's father???? now what up with that. Then to use the father in a kidnapping??? Nope completely lost there. The plus side, the Airport scene was class, and the usual speed chase of which we were treated to two.

PLOT

At the beginning we see a familiar, whereby a bunch of crooks are trying to steal the car. However Frank has other tricks up his sleeve. haahah. He then goes to meet his father Frank Snr(Stevenson). During one of his socials with his Pops, he answers a call to: "Is this the Transporter", great tagline, love it. He meets a woman who starts the whole thing. A series of events occurs. The girls help the Transporter in retaliation. 

The Man from UNCLE

Well what an interesting film, this turned out to be. I was completely lost with the plot. Although the Music was unreal, I totally enjoyed the music. Henry's character was fab. Totally enjoyed his soothing voice and his strong American accent. Bottomline, guys YOU need to have seen the TV Series that was released in the '60s/'70s. I was completely lost as I said, like one minute Solo and Kuryakin are fighting EACH other, next Gaby is actually betrays Solo and Kuraykin. Like whats going on. And now we learn at the end that Gaby, Solo and Kurayakin have a "code name" for the thrio, as stated by Waverly(Grant). They are now known as UNCLE(United Network Command for Law and Enforcement). So overall great movie, Music WOW, so ENJOYABLE. I was there like the conductor.

The plot being from what I can get, is that Solo(Cavill) is teamed up with Kuryakin(Hamemr). Initially Solo teams up with Gaby(Vikander). They are pursued by Kuryakin. They each learn that Kuraykin is actually now Solo's partner. So with the niceys niceys done, Gaby is to play Fiancé with KUryakin.

Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation

Well this film, was actually quite good. I had seen the previous Mission Impossible films and found them to be quite confusing plot wise and the technical aspects of it. However with this particular franchise, I found it quite easy to understand. The action was top notch, no question. I enjoyed it immensely especially with Plane scene at the beginning. Me with a fear of flying, I actually felt I was actually on the plane. So real it was. hahaah. My fav scene thou was with the Prime Minister(Hollander) and Atley(McBurney) when Atley's face was 3D Printed ontop Ethan Hunt's(Cruise) face. I thought that was class. When Prime Minster claims that Brandt's(Renner) hand is "So warm". We all got a great laugh. Brandt looks over at  Atley/Hunt and hunter shows the face as much as to say deal with it. I thought it was class.

So now onto the plot. The plot as I says above quite simple. Ethan Hunt(Cruise) stumbles upon a group known as the Syndicate who has been described as: "An Anti-IMF",who's job is to take down the IMF and all that goes with it. It all starts off as I said above the plane scene. You'd wanna have a head for heights, no question. Anyways, Ethan gets onto the plane with the help of Ethan's buddy Benji(Pegg). Then afterwards a LOVELY score. It really was like a TV Series type as I actually learned of this lately. Hunley(Baldwin) wants to disband IMF competly and appears in a US Senate Committee. Classic line from Brandt is "I can neither confirm nor deny any details without the permission of the Secretary".He continuously states this when asked by the Committee. So a series of events occur. The Vienna Opera scene was a classic scene too. The Chancellor of Vienna is assassinated. I don't get the connection to it. They did explain the Istanbul and all the majors terrorist attacks. But that's about all I understood.

2D - Sound spectacular.
Pls note there are no extra scenes BEFORE the credits or AFTER

Transporter 2

Frank's car is attempted to be robbed. Great start to a great series or franchise. Seatbelt is the third rule of the car. He drives Jack(Clary) a kid home from school. ON one of the days, he picks up the Jack to drop him at a party, he is somewhat caught in a crime spree. Frank is forced into a kidnapping AGAIN. as this time, the son of Jefferson(Modine) are being held. So this time Frank spends the whole movie searching down the culprits. However we later learn that it wasn't a kidnapping. It was actually something to do with Jefferson's Job. So he has been infected with the virus, and the wife Audrey(Valletta) and of course the son. Anyone who breathed the stuff would be infected as its airborne. and as such a search for antiDote ensues.

I found this movie to be exceptionally fabulous. However with the movie, thou, the title may need to be researched as the movie didn't deal at all with Frank actually Transporting packages etc., He transported a kid to school and spent the whole film in actually tracking the culprits etc., etc., Statham's acting capabilities much better than the first one. I find that Statham is much better acting alone than say the Expendables series. That belongs to Sylvester Stallone. Like his use of everyday objects as fighting mechanisms like the firehose , etc.,e ttc., And can anyone explain how did Frank get the AntiDote to the conference and to the folks. That wasn't explained.

The Transporter

The film is very basic plot. Thats what I love about movies. Some I do like when you are left guessing, but not all the time.

A Transporter is required to deliver "Packages" around. All Packages are "required" to follow "guidelines" in case of car chases. His first trip to deliver robbers Packages to a guy. "Weight", "Destination", He continues to get jobs or "Transports". However on one particular job, he receives a package to be delivered to Grenoble, France. He stops buy for refreshments and his car is blown up. As expected he gets very pissed off. This Chinese woman - Lai(Shu) was one of the deliver packages. HE delivers her. IN return he receives the package that blew up his car. So on a revenge warpath, he encounters Lai again. He is so annoyed. It is then revealed Lai involved in his personal life is actually because she tells Frank(Statham) that her Father and family are to become slaves in a shipment container.

I enjoyed the movie. Seen it a few times. Great action flick. No doubt. However I was lost as to the bit why Frank was late and yet Frank himself is punished by his car being blown up. So according to the film, If I'm late for something and that was MY rule, I should be punished?????

Transporter 3

This film, tells the story of Frank(Statham) being put to sleep or framed to so that the Frank has a band on him. It seams that he was asked to do a job in the first or second film, and he refused. And as such his past has come to haunt him. So as such he is now under surveillance with a bracelet.

While there was plenny of action in it, no doubt, and the skills as I said in the previous sequel is spectacular. However with this sequel, I found the plot slightly confusing. There was the Minister, his daughter, then the guy who was with the daughter at the beginning, and the baddies. Now I can't connect the baddies and the Minister. To do with Environment????

Fantastic Four(2015)

Well what can I say about this film. It was a good film. That's all I can say. It is unfortunate that it has been getting bad reviews etc., Well unfortunately I can agree. Another friend of mine was saying that their's action for about 5mins, how true is that. Great action between Victor/Doom() and the Four, namely: Reed(); Johnny Storm/BABE(Michael Jordan); Ben(Jamie....);Sue(); Great action, that only lasted for about 5 or 10mins if even that. The rest was all about the science aspect and the lead up to the aftermath. Like the original actually dealt with plenny of Action, no doubt, it also dealt with when the Four get infected, how they deal with it, and not only that how the PUBLIC deal with that. This film, ie the Reboot, did not deal with any of that. Its like the Four were in seclusion.  One thing that really lacked was COMEDY. Every form of Marvel I have ever known, has always had some form of Comedy. However this one NOT ONE. I was surprised.

The film starts off with Young Reed and Young Ben trying to build a Teleporter for a Science Fair. Franklin Storm sees this and he and Sue, daughter of Franklin actually want the idea. So they go ahead. I was a bit lost with the government aspect. So then Reed is introduced to Victor/Doom who is said to have started the whole thing. My precious bundle of joy Johnny Storm(son of Franklin) is out car racing and gets into a car accident. So his father collects him and recruits him into helping the rest of the crew, to build this Teleporter. During a one night drunken encounter, Johnny, Reed and Victor. Ben(whom Reed rings him) go through the teleporter with a view of Going through and back within the night. However things go drastically wrong because Reed sticks his hand in some gueye stuff and it explodes. Everyone gets infected. Johnny has become the Human Fireball, Ben the Rock, Reed the Extender and Sue who discovers their ploy, also gets infected when they arrive back on Earth and it explodes. Sue has Invisibility capability. Reed then disappears claiming he is trying to get back to the way he was and the rest of them for that matter. Sue and Ben are tasked by the government to get Reed back. So afterwards when everyone is together, they now have to face their NOW rival former friend Victor or now known as Doom. Then the Four now need a new place and face the Government. Cleverly done I must say when the Government say "What happens if we say no", Ben/The Thing seen as saying I think its best you say Yes and My precious Johnny says"Just say Yes".

National Treasure: Book of Secrets

The film opens up with 5 Days after Civil War ends, or suppose to have. Something goes down and the blame is put on Ben's (Cage) father or grandfather. So we assume our places whereby to free the father, they have to find the book and to find that we have to get the clues. Ben has to "Kidnap the President of the United States(Greenwood)". I found this sequel much better ACTION, however, the title of the sequel could be revisited as in the first one, they had a set goal of looking for a map, they found it, then the clues. Whereas this one they were looking for a Book of Secrets, BUT the clues were ELSEWHERE, meaning where was the need for the book? Music was wonderful a pleasure to listen to in the background. The President of the United States gives the crew a Presidential Pardon for Ben's grandfather . They were "accredited for this discovery".

The Sweeney

Plenty of action in this film. Very enjoyable. At first when I saw this film, The Sweeney were gang members, however I have since learned well today hahaha, that they are an elite Police Force. Jack(Winstone) and George(Drew) and co are called into action. I didn't get the plot at first. So that's a negative. The Opening scene is a robbery. So I thought they were the robbers, but it so happens that they are an Elite Police Force as I said earlier. Then they are then told that there's to be a big hiest in a "Non-traditional high street bank". One member of the police force is killed and hence a battle ensues. Jack is stripped of his Police Badge, and sent to prison. Its up to sexy George to break him out or at the very least to prove his innocence. So a great movie, however plot very lost.

So my guess is that you'd have to have seen the TV Series. hahaha. So overall enjoyed it emmenesley. Very good. Highly recommended. Loyalty is a key player in the film.

Jurassic World

Plot was quite simple actually. hahaha. I found it very good actually. In that with the dinosaur actions. The plot being a new theme park is opened. However the dinosaurs are actually Genetically Modified. IT gets a bit too scientific for my liking. So then one of the Dinosaurs a Mother of a ...... escapes, and causes havoc. One of the creators ie the scientists is asked what components was created to make the dinosaur. They fail to answer the question, however it is then soon realsied that it is a Raptor. There were three Raptors that Owen(Pratt) was "socialising" or rearing, something like that. Then came along Claire(Howard) who is a sister to Karen(Greer) is asked to look after Zack(Robinson) and Gray(Simpkins), who is a Business woman and simply don't have time for both Zack and Gray. Human tragedy brings all the family closer together. I enjoyed the film emmensley. The sound effects and CGI WOW, especially when "more teeth" were required in that Claire brought along another Mother of a......and the original was brought down by a Sea Monster. So yeah it was fantastic. ON the edge of me seat.

Spy

Well what a movie. Most impressive to date. If you're looking for action and comedy in one film, this is the place. hahhah. The plot was quite simple but there was a twist half way. Which then got confusing with "Double Agents", I thought it was fantastic eitherway. Susan Cooper(McCarthy) goes undercover, in order to catch a criminal. She is helping Bradley Fine(Law) in getting out of a situation. Her official job is to direct the agent where to go on a screen.

Mad Max: Fury Road

Music score was fantastic. You don't really have to have had to see the previous sequels of Mad Max. Excellent. As one of my mates says, You weren't short of action. Plot was not as clear, but from what I could get, was Furiosa(Theron), was asked by Immortan(Keays-Byrne), to deliver or collect, can't recall. She instead went off course to East. Where Max(Hardy) comes in, I don't understand. I take it was captured, and he escaped, but was recaptured. So while Immortal's men were after Furiosa, Nux(Hoult) said he'd keep Max's blood, something like that. One thing I never understood, was why was Max getting vision of a young girl etc., etc.,

Spooks: The Greater Good

You'd have to have seen the TV Series Spooks. It was enjoyable, don't get me wrong. Your usual everyday criminal film. A guy escapes another. A guy is released, while being transferred. The blame is put on the inside. The guy on the inside, is himself struck off. My apologies for the lack of plot. As I says, you have to have seen the TV Series Spooks. I don't even know the characters names. haahha. Great action otherwise. Tagline: "MI5(Mission Impossible series) Meets BOurne series.

Big Game

This film was on my to see list. Now what I had expected. Kinda weird if you get me. Even on my breakfast show I watch Ireland AM, during the Movie reviews segment, the reviewer gave it a generous 2 out of 5.Plot was simple, I'll give it that. The President of the US(Jackson) is on the hunt by terrorist. Simple. For those who haven't see it, which I can't see that many seeing it, I won't tell anything. There was a hunting aspect to it. The film is set in Finland where apparently Hunting is done quite alot. I was sickened by that. Any of my Vegan friends especially, and also Vegetarian's NOT recommended.

The Avengers: Age of Ultron

The film starts of with the "Twins" and we also note that the twins are master to a guy from Iron Man 4 ie the Mandarin, well the Mandarin's helper. One of the twins Quicksilver/PIetro Maximoff(Johnson), I instantly fell in love. Quicksilver superhero is he can travel at the speed of light. The other twin - Wanda Maximoff(Olsen), can manipulate minds etc., The Ultron(Spader) is born via Tony Stark(Downey Jr.) and THe Hulk(Ruffalo). Things get a bit eary thou when the pack of em are partying the night away, we see JArvis(Bettany) being killed by Ultron.

So all in all, the Avengers reuinite against Ultron. I found the film in general good. NOT the best of the series. Iron Man, Captain America(Evans), Hawkeye(Renner), Black Widow(Johanssen). Samuel L Jackson reprises his role as Nick Fury.

Two faults, I found about the film. One being, I actually at one stage thought I was watching Terminator series. With Terminator it was Man V Machine. Nothing different. The only difference was the plot. END OF.
And the second being, I felt a bit sad that e.g Hawkeeys' character is gone, as he's a family now. etc., Im allergic to change. haahah.

 

The Water Deviner

Very powerful film in some parts. A father goes out to find his sons. Learned that Gallipoli is in Turkey. It was between ANZAC(Australia New Zealand AC???) and Turkey as part of World War 1. The Galipolli is known as "The Forgotten War". In the end, the Father(Crowe) finds them all dead except ONE. The both of them escape the Greeks.

Fast & Furious 7

It's been described as a Vehicular action film. No question. As Dominic Torreto(Diesel) says: "I don't have friends, I gots family". How true is that. They stick together as if they were family. They look out for one another. Plot being fairly simple. From the past Fast & Furious series sequels, the film starts off with Deckard Shaw(Statham) being dangerous as ever. He is comforting his brother who has been put in hospital. Now I haven't seen ANY of the Fast & Furious. However fans of this series would know and be able to connect the dots. ahhaah.Overall great film. One word is very simple REVENGE. That's all there is to it. ahahah. Twas very touching at the end of the film, the tribute to late Paul Walker who played Brian in the series. He died in a car accident.

Jupiter Ascending

Film was good. Visual affects astounding. Great rising star no doubt. Music not too bad, in fact its probably the only reason I kept going back. haahah. But very lost throughout. Even though I saw it about 4 or 5 times, still lost. As my American mate says, very "weird" film. hahah.

Kingsman: The Secret Service

What a film, Kingsman. I never expected it. Great comic and great action. It blue my mind. It was unreal. Music was fantastic. It was the normal music score. E.g The American Anthem was played etc., etc., Plot was a bit hard to understand the first time, I went. From what I could gather, Harry(Firth) highers, troublesome teen Eggsy(Egerton), after Eggsy' father Lancelot is killed in action. So Harry trains him in a series of tests. Then a global danger is immenent. Valentine(Jackson) is creating a SIM card chips, whereby when he activates, people all go Homicidal.

One class scene I'll never forget it. Harry(Firth) is in a Hate group church in the US, whereas they's against Abortion, Unmarried etc., etc.,One woman prevented him from getting out, as he couldn't stand it. I was beginning to get nautious myself. So he attempted to get out. This woman attempted to stop him, and his reply was class. "I'm a Catholic whore, currently enjoying congress out of wedlock with my black Jewish boyfriend who works at a military abortion clinic. Hail Satan, and have a lovely afternoon madam". The Church is against Colored ppl too, let alone Homosexuals etc., The first scene too is class, whereby Harry is wanting to teach some thugs a lesson, and later is passed onto Eggsy(as Eggsy does the exact same thing to Dean(Eggys step father(well boyfriend anyways) "Manners maketh man." Do you know what that means? Then let me teach you a lesson". 

Great crossovers were done to. Whereby Eggsy is asked during one of his tests, "Cute dog, whats his name,", Eggsy replies "JB". Then Arthur(Caine) tries to guess, Jason Bourne(Bourne Francises), James Bond(Bond), when Arthur fails Eggsy replies with "Jack Bower" from 24.
