I watched it on Sunday when hungover mate. Horrible watch as I don’t like heights and was rough as hell. Weirdly enjoyed it though lol

I felt like a bit sick watching it like, made it all the more thrilling. It is defo weirdly enjoyable, it’s a crap plot with hardly any characters so should be really bad

Just got round to watching An Irish Goodbye. Great short film.

I said earlier in the TV Series thread that Netflix have released Luthor: The Fallen Sun.

If you watched the series then the film is a MUST.

Spoiler: Too corny

"Luther escapes from prison having taken out about 25 hardened criminals BUT gets taken down by some wimpy looking weirdo and also manages to get another copper killed in the same scene. Nah.

The Flesh and the Fiends (1960)
Good movie, based on a true story. Pretty dark for this era. 7/10

 

[Nightman]

Sicario 2

It was alright but didn't come even close to being as good as the first one. Was a bit too macho and unrealistic this time around, something the first one did well to avoid.

Lacked the tension of the first movie.

The convoy scene in-and-out of Mexico and then at the border is difficult to top tbf
.

Whats not to enjoy about it?

The villain was ridiculous and miscast, the script was terrible and the plot was worse.
The whole thing reminded me of a ropey and implausible Roger Moore era Bond film.

That said, Idris playing Luther is great. It's a great character.

That 5 minutes is a brilliant bit of filmmaking.

I think that’s why I enjoyed it. I went in with no high expectations. Wouldn’t watch it again like

Yeah, same. I might Google the 2 birds who were in it, though

It's clear early on that the whole piece is an allegory for the Irish Civil War - (although references to it are few it's blindingly obvious).

I've seen this mentioned several times, but I think this is only true to people of a certain heritage/age. I'm sure there's plenty of young people who will have very little idea of the conflict, cetainly we never covered it in school (80s/90s in London), and it was never really explained anywhere else. Great performances, and some good dark humour, but without understanding the references I feel it's good, but a little bit meh. Sure my gf was making comparisons to Waiting for Godot too, which I also know nothing about.

Yes sorry. It was blindingly obvious to me, but would be maybe obvious to people with knowledge of the conflict.

Cracking film I thought though.
