Last Film You Watched

Serpico is the one you're looking for buddy. Assault on precinct 13 the original not the remake is pretty good too

I recall reading the book about Frank Serpico when the film was released.
Being totally naive I was absolutely dumbfounded that blatant corruption of that severity was alowed to flourish.
Probably hasn't changed I suppose, probably able to be hidden better maybe?

It`s a good idea that doesn`t quite work.

If it was re worked properly it has the potential to be a very good film.

It's the fact it craps all over Aliens is my problem. All that fight for nothing, they could have parked a lot of that to one side by having the rest of the survivors transferred before making Ripley land on that planet.

Bit like the Star Wars sequels where when I watch the Return of the Jedi now I end up thinking Luke may as well just die at the end, much better way to go than what is to come!

Just done in different ways I think. Cracking film though
 
Gone Girl.
Never read the book so didn't know what to expect, but I liked it. If you've ever watched true crime documentaries there's quite a lot of it similar to typical disappearances in real life.
One thing that just doesn't make sense to me:
So the viewers are led to think he did kill her in the earlier parts of the film, by his behaviour more than anything by how relaxed he seems that she's gone missing (in true crime stuff this is always a sign of a guilty person). But he doesn't realise she's alive/not kidnapped until much later so there was no need for his character to display such clearly guilty traits when he was innocent. Even an innocent man who wanted a divorce would be upset by the kidnap of his spouse, surely?
It feels like his behaviour is too forced to trick the viewers later, rather than a character acting realistically.

I didn't mind it but so much of it didn't make sense.

I haven't seen it in a while so can't quite remember but if I'm correct there are scenes of him on his own where he reacts in ways that make no sense when you find out what has actually happened. The end was completely unbelievable too

I saw it like he was guilty
about the affair
knowing that it is going to look bad to all + he wanted her gone so in one way it was a relief...until the finger was pointing at him so it is an unnatural situation where he was acting in front of others and when that happens the average Joe would look 'forced'.
