Review Time

Bendini, Lambert & Locke: briefly; this law firm quick snaps up  this recently graduated from Harvard Law School lawyer/just has to pass the bar exam his name of Mitch McDeere [Tom Cruise:] he comes from humble beginnings, but after some time he quickly discovered he is involved in a very dark world indeed, where everyone he likes or/and loves will evenually be involved or dead.

Generally speaking: the storyline is okay, but the script is just way too long for what it is; to the point where you could easily take off 45 minutes of the film and you could still achieve its objective, coinciding with this we also have this really ghastly background music which either doesn't go with the tone of the film at that time or completely buried it or makes light of it; or regardless it is just very pronounced and dominating and on top of that less [yes even on top of that] as the person I watch some of this content with said/Indicated; from time to time it is like a child going across a piano and just bang the keys. So as you can probably guess in conjunction with all of that the framework and pacing of this 157 minutes film is as best as I can describe without using sensitive adult language references is a complete dumpster fire of an epic scale, Which has a knocking effect to the character and performance; they are starting with uphill struggle from the outset and as you will read later the character developments maybe solid by the vast majority of them and including the performance as well, but they also have a lot of time to film and on their own merits, the character development and/or Performances are yes solid but also we need more from them on both counts.

Action and art; there are various chasing sequences and guns being used that is what can say about that really, they are solidly entertaining, the sequence of events to get to these documents and this misdirection and the art is very fitting of early 90s; good stuff

Character developments and performances; well what do you want me to say really, I know I have already brought up this point, but I can't stress enough how much it really dominates this film, so consequently these character types are a solid version of what they are meant to be, while from the time to time coinciding with the performance's being undercut by the background music and the actual tone at that time or/and performances either not showing much or trying to compensate for this film being reckless so their performance comes over as an exaggerated version of the character isn't that right Cruise. Holly Hunter as Tammy Hemphill: she is a secretary to a private detective as she tries to assist with things; she is the only one that really puts in a performance that I can say is very good, hell I will even go with excellent compared to the rest of them, being solid or less; she is just a very plucky individual but just happens to be in the wrong place the wrong time, but nonetheless she tries to help and does more of her, But it has to be said the chemistry throughout the cast more often than not also is at best going through the motion or not there the depending on who is on screen at that time

This film receives: 4/10, this film is mixed; I mean as I have already alluded to in one way or another, the problems with this movie I'm not exactly small ones and because this film goes on for roughly 154 minutes it gives you plenty of time to analyze them in their entirety, but after everything is said and done this mark seems the right outcome, this film also has an ongoing scene underneath the first lot of closing credits with sounds of a dialogue exchange as well.

This film also has some Awards accredited to its name; 3 Winners would includes but not limited to Positive; People's Choice Awards, USA 1994 People's Choice Award Favorite Dramatic Motion Picture. Negative: Yoga Award 1994 Yoga Award Worst Foreign Actor Tom Cruise. 7 Nominees which also include but not limited to Academy Awards, USA 1994 Oscar Best Actress in a Supporting Role Holly Hunter: as Tammy Hemphill and Best Music, Original Score Dave Grusin and MTV Movie + TV Awards 1994 MTV Movie Award Best Male Performance Tom Cruise

Warning: there will be some censored adult language references in this content

I genuinely could not give two manures: and don't get me wrong I don't dislike him at the moment, but to be honest with you he is starting to irritate me,  let's start with on the grounds of his lack of self-witness and he says he takes was accountabilility, but then doesn't.

So If you are not aware Max Caster wrestled for Awesome Wrestling: Mischief Night II on Sunday 17/10/2026 against their main champion Zack Clayton: where afterwards he had an announcement that he would be stepping away from wrestling for a while; in a nutshell and  paraphrasing  here and in no particular order; he did the usual  thanking things,  acknowledging previous events and  the apology on social media, then Going on to say that he will be stepping away from wrestling and going to therapy and at some point he does make reference to he doesn't know what the future holds.

The reason why I am being so  evidently blasé  about this situation now is; very simple; As a reference earlier his lack of self-awareness is beginning to  irritate me, I mean seriously now at the age of 37 years old [when this content was first created] If you can't work out that mocking a  conflict situation on one hand, whilst possibly infuriating your company's business partners on the other, then having your debut and then subsequently firing on the same night, trust me when I say there is no amount of therapy that can teach you anything new or different.

Basically if Caster is genuinely serious about making amends then it has to come from within, but I have been around wrestling since roughly 1988 and in that time I have seen many wrestlers  similar to Caster  in the sense of very talented in one way or another, but likewise in one way or another they couldn't keep themselves out of trouble for whatever reason or reasons.

now I wanted to make it crystal clear that his career as a wrestler is not done, but let's just say he is going to have to try and keep his nose clean for a very long time so you can have a career resurgence of some degree or better, or it will be a case of if he doesn't give it about five to ten years and wrestling content creators will be making lists of wrestlers that screwed up their own careers and he will be in the list somewhere.

Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/ sexual assault/burning/stabbing/cutting/shooting/animal cruelty/burning/drowing/torturing/medical/ references to intercourse with animals I believe, but I could be wrong.

In 1713 a business deal goes wrong: briefly; Rob Roy MacGregor [Liam Neeson:] he is the Clan Leader of the same last name, brokers a deal with James Graham, 4th Marquess of Montrose [John Hurt:] he is the top guy of this area, so pretty much what he says goes, but when it is time for payment of this deal something goes wrong there is treachery a foot.

Generally speaking: storyline/script is nicely lay down, so the framework and pacing of this 139 minutes movie follow suit, but after some time roughly around just before and during the middle section of proceedings it does go into this conserve mode And it just keeps things moving until just before the final quarter and beyond, so in essence it does everything it should do to get one specific mark, which no surprise will be reflected in the closing section of this content.

Art, action and comedy; the art is very clear to see as they have done a really good job of bringing this part of history to life and in all of its glory as well, what with its location designs, set designs, costumes and accessories all of being authentic qualities. likewise the action sequences are of this time period as well be it with muskets or/and pistols/guns that need time to refill/reload or these one-on-one sequences of honour and other reasons, now this is one of the rare occasions that all I can do is acknowledge from time to time there may be comedy of a mature or/and adult references.

Character development and performances; on both counts they are very good versions of what they are meant to be, coinciding with performance to match their characters; this is very much the cast performance all working on another to ensure the success of this  movie, but is it me or does Neeson’s Scottish accent gradually get toned down, from the very start it is very strong and by the end of the movie it is nowhere near so strong; still a very good performance and leads the cast by a very good example, he has an excellent so foe in Tim Roth as Archibald Cunningham; without giving too much away he is very much aware of his station in life and enjoy taking full advantage of it. Roth portrays and excellent, devious and unpleasant individual

This film receives: 7/10,This film is good; I would have given slightly something higher if essentially this film did kind of do this kind of plateau thing where in the middle all around here; so the beginning is strong, then it gradually plateaus and then it takes things up heading into the final quarter, so if you haven't seen this film before or yet it is a good watch and yes it does have some award accredited to its name such as; 2 Winners which include but not limited to BAFTA Awards 1996 BAFTA Film Award Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role Tim Roth and 5 Nominees also include but not limited to Academy Awards, USA 1996 Oscar Best Actor in a Supporting Role Tim Roth

Warning: there will be some censored adult language references in this content, there will also be some dark references in this content as well

In the previous content I would be discussing with again but this time not so nicely: straight of the bat, I'm being sarcastic when I say I absolutely love how when a major celebrity it male or female or person they get about a week or more in the news, but in this case Mitte gets a lot less, I mean doesn't it disabled man with  mental health issues float your boat or  is it not worthy of you  getting on the bandwagon or is it because he is a disabled  man or is it you don't regard men's mental health that serious or is it because it has become public knowledge that his fiancé gave him an automated; her or his mother? which I am not encouraging this, but I noticed not many people were angry about this automate, because if you were you would still be talking about the situation and it would be in the top two talks about subjects on a social media platform.

But if the shoes on the other foot of a woman receiving an ultimatum and then committing  suicide you would want the man in question to be put in prison for the rest of his life or for as long as possible, on  psychological abuse grounds, the whole double standard bull-manure thing really does urinate me off. when there are people going to get it into their thick heads regardless if you are prejudiced or discriminating or sexist; mental  health doesn't do any of these things.

The uncomfortable reality is  until we  acknowledge multiple things such as men's mental health is very real and I am sorry but not sorry women, until you get your head sorted out and back in reality and you know what I mean… if you don't allow me to tell you  briefly; if he opens up to you on any level being it about mental health or anything else; on one hand; you say I want  someone emotionally intelligent and  vulnerable, then say he is weak I want a strong man  and so on and so forth and using any of  his vulnerabilities against him in any way shape or form when it  suits you, because  with all of my years of experience with mental health in one way or another [since the early 1990s;] if you feels trapped in an unwinnable situation long enough, the results are taking themselves off the board of life. [Obviously for legal reasons I don't know if this was the case in this situation, because I was there, so this is a broad outlook and statement.] I am now convinced that in my 40s [when this content was first created] that my section of society disabled or proper mental health won't be seen as a real section of society With the common knowledge and courtesy that this standard of life is hard work and grueling especially when in the vast majority of cases we have no other choice. Meanwhile we have to watch our lives passes  us by, whilst other sections of global get presidential standards of treatment based  by comparison on their choices which are optional choices and if you  forget for a second optional choices you run the risk of getting cancelled or worse.

It has also just come to my attention that Brian Cranston [Walter White Senior from Breaking Bad;] has now disclosed that in a nutshell; they were going to meet up, He could tell that he wanted to talk to him about something, but they were but they had located issues, if you are having issues go and seek help and they will do their best for you

The Peacekeeper 1997 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/Domestic terrorism/shooting/stabbing/ vehicle hit/ vehicle crash/burning/suicide/ medical

This had such a good start: briefly; we meet Major Frank Cross [Dolph Lundgren:] he is a Pilot which has a choice between a court martial for his latest stunt or carry the nuclear football for the President of the United States of America, he's going to wish he took the court martial as he gets the nuclear football taken from him by some terrorists.

Generally speaking: this storyline/ script is in theory something safe and Reliably good, which if the framework and pacing of this 98 minutes film and for a little while it does that, put slowly but slowly it really does begin to slow down and the consequences of this are severe; such as broadly speaking this film goes from in lively affair to boring as hell.

Comedy, action and art; now when Major Cross begins his new duties he is told to have no guns on him, so they do this search on him skit, where they have to keep getting him to come back to find another area that he is hiding a gun in and then a little later we have this high obtained action sequence with guns, but the most important section is this vehicle chasing sequence, that at some point goes on to be on it roofs; this entire sequence is lengthy and excellently put together and is by far and massive asset to this project by some distance.

Character development and Performance; on both counts they are likewise what they are meant to be.

This film receives: 2/10,this film is poor; Like a referenced earlier, when this film starts to slow down and continues to lose pacing and continues to get less than less what should have been a reasonable yet positive project turned into anything but so our performers especially Lundgren has to drag this film over the finishing line.

Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/ stabbing/shooting/religion/assisted death/cutting/impaling/animal cruelty/medical. I will be discussing dark themes that may be uncomfortable for some; I want to make it crystal clear I am talking about it in the confines of the film and nothing more.

This film is mostly a hot steaming pile of garbage: we meet Robin Hood /another name [Hugh Jackman:] as he is now a much older man, after his latest battle he is dropped off to seek medical assistance that he does not want.

General speaking: someone pleased tell me that this script was written predominantly when they were sitting up on the toilet having a dump? because man it is awful, so basically without giving too much away obviously… this film focuses on the character development of character, but throughout history we mostly get to see him in his 30s roughly, but here he is possibly somewhere around 50s or early 60s, my point being is that historically in film or TV we don't know this version, we have nothing to go on here, so did we get any exposition character development or anything like mental imagery into the past?... absolutely not, so all we got given was references to It was all a liar and two old stories that we already know or nothing remotely interesting and so what Hood killed another character’s husband, I mean when this established in this film I was so passed actually caring that it makes it pointless and if you think I am being harsh it also gets established in just before a bit more than the final quarter of this movie to go. 

I mean for about 85% of this film which it does go on for roughly122 minutes not a lot really happens; basically we have the house burning and then we have Heading into the final quarter of this movie, other than that you may as well see this film for a large amount of it like playing a Sims video game with little tasks and so on and so forth, you see because the script doesn't actually have a lot going on the framework and pasting of this movie either individually altogether with the script feels really long and tiresome.

 Action and art; I only have really one action sequence I can discuss and it doesn't go on for too long either; it is someone comes for a pound of flesh and a mistake Hood for someone else, it really does set the standard for the other action sequences, but then you come to realize after watching that was the best. This film tries so hard to be engaging which on some levels it is; they really do try to make you feel immersed in the scenes/ sequences with captivating interpretations for example when Hood is badly hurt and we see things from his perspective or I think mental perspective as well, but I could be wrong about this common so this was in turn interesting character developments and a small asset to this title alongside the art as well, of course we also have the landscapes, set designs comma wardrobe and accessories all top quality.

Character development and performance; well with without everything I have set up to this point anyway these character types are the standard for this kind of movie outline, Which are a best formulaic and the worst I felt nothing for them which I am leaning heavy to the latter, I was just trying to give you two options which are possible. I know, I know this film is  set down in centuries past, but and before I continue no I am not religious, but then again I know that this topic within the UK is a hot topic…I just don't know how wise it was to have assisted suicide in this project going handed hand with someone/character of religious Christian beliefs, I am aware that assisted death/suicide is not against the Bible but it is looked by some as unfavorable and I am very much aware that assisted death is an option to some, I just put assisted death/ suicide to keep everyone happy as in whatever your opinion is I have covered it for you, other than that and just talking about in a film context and for the performance they do feel formulate As they are doing a solid job, I mean that is why it is important to fill in some of the 30-year age gap so we can identify with Hood in particular.

This film receives: 2/10,this film is poor; yes it may look Highly engaging from time to time, but other than that this film offers very little; stumbles throughout it's time frame

Digger 2026 by AverageMansReviews

 

Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colorful effects/environmental component/animal cruelty/medical/ references to cancer and this film is full of mature to adult themes including dark themes/animal waste

Well this was certainly something: briefly; we meet Digger Rockwell/another character [Tom Cruise:] he is a business tycoon that deals with oil, he doesn't care about the consequences just results and this movie explores this mindset and those consequences 

Generally speaking: the storyline/script is thought provoking as it holds up a mirror to predominantly America  or any of a country that doesn't believe in actions have consequences and mother nature is coming to collect sooner rather than later, the  framework of this movie is fantastic, without giving too much away it switches focus broaden the world around us to give us a more immersive experience, but I hastened to add it is something not less important of equal importance and that you don't like to say about that really, but also in coinciding in this; you also have this really dark atmosphere throughout, I mean in conjunction with that we clearly have some dark comedy, I mean if you have ever watched any kind of Monty Pythons material such as the legendary Monty Python's Life of Brian 1979 In particular Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life: where in a nutshell we have Jesus singing this well-known song; I chose this as a reference because that is the kind of comedy style we are dealing with in this film but so much more Intensely darker and it doesn't have and off switch, they may do other things from time to time just to unsettle it's audience but it doesn't have an off switch, but at least there is always something to see and experience, so this film has excellent if bizarre pacing which this film does go on for roughly 129 minutes

Art, comedy and action; this film can also be very inviting visually based on its set designs and scenery designs also, but remember you will also see things that may or may not discuss you or be unpleasant viewing including but not limited to hearing broadly speaking and paraphrasing; How long has my cat got to live? Or mind your language because there may be women present [the joke being there are no women present in this room at this time and all of these male characters laugh at that fact]or a character that may have just died at the worst time possible when we are going through a military operation.

Character developments and performance; is character developments are precisely designed to be who they are and this cast all come together with in-depth performance as to bring these people to life; but Tom Cruise in this role should absolutely be nominated for an Oscar; completely embodies this character is outrageous appearance in front of all of these people where he literally verbally hands them they posterior on a silver platter is stuff of a modern cinema classic moment.

Supporting role Oscar nominee it should be Riz Ahmed as Dr. Nirav Ganesh/ another character: a scientist and Digger's head of Environmental Safety: he really does try to tell digger how things are actually going and how things are actually, but as you can tell by now this particular job is actually really hard work; this is a masterful performance being able to Comfortably hang with Cruise and Goodman on screen should the absolutely indicate what kind of performance Ahmed puts in here and in another supporting role capacity we have John Goodman as Compson, the President of the United States: he does have health concerns and he wants this problem resolved; Goodman puts in this spectacular performance as he as is with the other two in his bedroom as he discovers that things were not going that well he goes on a serious yet highly amusing rant.

This film receives: 10/10, this film is top-notch entertainment; now I am fully aware that this film has had at least some people walk out, on top of that it isn't doing brilliant at the box office, in fact it is doing dreadfully and it will end up with a financial loss, but if it could get some more positive awards accredited to its name in one way or another, such as at minimum nominees for 3 Oscars, I would gladly take that as a win, because this film is an art and social commentary piece and it has an ongoing sequence underneath some of the closing credits. this film also has 1 Nominee Astra Midseason Movie Awards 2026 Astra Midseason Award Most Anticipated Film
