The Incredible Hulk 77-82 TV show in a nutshell: Art and Comedy; now those of a certain age will remember this legendary TV program starring Bill Bixby as Dr. David Banner and Lou Ferrigno as Hulk. They use this iconic and back in the day scary entrance sequence to this TV program, in this interpretation they built around Attorney Jennifer Walters/She-Hulk.

Brutally honest yet completely fair I would love to put up a single digit of disapproval of this episode, fly it high: Character [Character developments] and Storyline; likewise in a nutshell and I am doing this not out of laziness, because I still have lots to say but also I don't want to give too much away. Attorney Walters or/and Attorney Walters/She-Hulk breaks the fourth wall to in the long run go and speak to someone by the name of Kevin, because she doesn't like how things are going. Basically this is complete garbage, because she argues with Kevin about having a better ending for this first season which she is granted.

Everyone with me so far roughly? Even though I have brain damage I am without being arrogant I am very intelligent on these matters, so here is why I would love to fly a single negative digit of disapproval about this episode. Because she is granted a better ending for this season, which means okay she learns more about her gifts/power and including she is very attractive to anyone she wants most of the time and I honestly get that for someone like her before this in her mind this is a new experience to be first instead of the feeling like the last option. But and this is a big but, she doesn't have to take any responsibility for her actions and consequently not dealing with the consequences as her cousin Dr. Bruce Banner/Hulk indicated about destroying her blood sample, because if it was to fall into the wrong hands, let's just say it wouldn't be good and highly dangerous.

I know this is a strong word; but all she is; is a misandrist, because let's be completely honest if this was Dr. Bruce Banner/Hulk doing this kind of thing the outcry of him doing his work, having sexual intercourse and taking no responsibility for his actions; he would very quickly and easily get called a misogynist and many other things without a shadow of doubt, but this is not the case here; is it? On reflection she is actually a self obsessed individual she likes it when everything is going her away, but if it isn't she practically has a meltdown and yes I know there is much misogynistic views in this episode somewhere, but I haven't hidden that fact.

This episode receives: 2/10, this episode is poor; well done [I say this with sarcasm] in one episode they have turned a intelligence, charming/slightly confused person based on a new lease on life, someone that I thought would take responsibility into a blatant feminist of the highest order.

Just before I receive backlash I believe women should be their own person, where I personally draw the line is where you crush someone else in some fashion, so I am not a caveman, but people from other backgrounds also have rights just like you.

Quite frankly; after this first series I would like to salute this TV program with the middle digit on my right hand. Yes when it is fun, it is fun, but when it is bad including the computer animation on Attorney Walters/She-Hulk it is bad and because I am a nice guy I will state here I know they had to work through a global pandemic and get this project out so I will show them a little bit of leniency here, but hopefully things will improve on the second series.

Yes this TV series also has some awards accredited to its name; 3 Winners such as Critics Choice Super Awards 2023 CCA Super Award Best Actress in a Superhero Series, Limited Series or Made-for-TV Movie Tatiana Maslany [as Attorney Jennifer Walters/She-Hulk.] 7 Nominees Visual Effects Society Awards 2023 VES Award Outstanding Animated Character in an Episode, Commercial, or Real-Time Project Liz Bernard Jan Philip Cramer Edwina Ting Andrew Park "She-Hulk".

Attorney Jennifer Walters/She-Hulk and another Attorney: Action and Comedy; team up to stop this criminal and Goons or/and henchmen at his Lily Pad [yes this would be the name of his layer.] So of course we have these two characters finding their own unique ways into this location such as Attorney Walters/She-Hulk doing the Hulk/She-Hulk smash thing. Later on we have Attorney Walters/She-Hulk giving this criminal some legal advice and her newly found associate is also giving legal advice whilst taking care of business.

She-Hulk; Hulk Out: Storyline and Character [Character developments;] in a nutshell Attorney Walters/She-Hulk is being honoured as The Female Lawyer of the Year [amongst other female lawyers.] But sadly she is embarrassed by Intellgencia and because of this her She-Hulk personality rise to the surface like a volcano blowing its top, then to run into some difficulties and that is where we leave this episode.

This episode receives: 8/10, this episode is excellent; when it gets going we get to see some excellent action sequences including some horizontal moments as well.

Tell me they previously on'd him: Comedy, Storyline, Character [Character developments] and Action; Attorney Jennifer Waters breaks the fourth wall and says "Tell me they previously on'd him. I don't care we're doing it again." With simultaneous hand gesture and body language to indicate I have made up my mind, so she calls for a previous on this guy. Consequently we get a previous on with this guy in when he attacks with other characters; Marvel Studios She-Hulk: Attorney at Law [Series 1,] Episode 3: The People vs. Emil Blonsky Link https://averagemansreviews2017.blogspot.com/2023/04/marvel-studios-she-hulk-attorney-at-law_59.html is what she and this previous on is referring to so we get to flashback very tiny bit of this moment in time. Attorney Walters makes her feelings known that she remembers this guy very well indeed and likewise he remembers her, in a nutshell whilst changing green into She-Hulk; she picked him up and sent him flying into stack and consequently she was sent to calming chair by Emil Blonsky.

This episode receives: 6/10, this episode is good; to be more precise okay there is moderate progression as things go in the bigger picture.

This episode is a waste of time and worse than that it is aware of its indifferent wording: Storyline, Character [Character developments] and Art; in this quote Attorney Jennifer Waters breaks-the-fourth-wall and says "Yes, it's a self-contained wedding episode. And if you think this is happening at an inconvenient time, you're right. 'Cause that's how weddings always are. But I'm gonna look great, so let's go."She is making reference to the dress that Luke Jacobson designed for her and if you're wondering about the dress after the opening credit a moment later we have this sequence of her seductively getting out of the car and having this slow motion sequence with background music, let's begin on a positive the blue high heels are fine, but this slow motion sequence really does highlight and expose what low quality computer animation this TV program has in it.

Titania vs. Attorney Jennifer Waters/She-Hulk: Action; I know this sequence doesn't go on for too long, but it is good and it is worthy of awarding this episode another mark because of it.

This episode receives: 5/10, this episode is mixed; how can I put this nicely; I have been doing this kind of thing for quite a few years now and even when I wasn’t, I am fully aware that TV programs now and again, let’s just say for one reason or another they may not put out at minimum a good episode for some reason. It could have been [ speculation on my part] this global pandemic, just to cover my back I will say this again speculation on my part and I am just trying to be amicable or if this is not the case they sometimes put in a moral message episode or for some other reasons. But in this particular case I am so not amused, because come on people we are just 6 episodes in to a 9 episode season. So as this is the first season could we not have found anything else better to put in this first season? I mean seriously come on people. Basically if you haven’t got the hint yes I gave this episode 5/10, because it is designed to basically get given that mark, but once again and I stress this once again this is their first season, it is way too early to put in an episode like this and finally if/more like when I come to the end of this first season and I think or feel they could have done much better, you would be right in thinking even before I say it, I will be looking back at this episode as most definitely time wasted with the whole lot of this episode.

Dr. Derek is not a nice person: Storyline, Comedy and Character [Character developments:] basically Attorney Jennifer Waters/She-Hulk is getting sued by Titania over the trademark over the usage of She-Hulk. Attorney Jennifer Waters/She-Hulk is being represented by Attorney Mallory Book from the same law practice as Walters/She-Hulk GLK&H [Goodman, Lieber, Kurtzberg & Holliway.] But it is only when she has lunch with her best friend/Paralegal Nikki Ramos does she come up with this potentially embarrassing yet slightly comical strategy to get these witnesses which she has been on a date with using the name She-Hulk, where we discover Dr. Derek; he reveals that he has chemistry with She-Hulk, but not Attorney Walters, which I have to be honest makes him sound like a complete shallow posterior

This episode receives: 7/10, this episode is good; this episode feels like a palate cleanser, which if this isn't the case it was and is the right time to do it roughly in the middle of this season.

Dr. Derek & Attorney Jennifer Walters/She Hulk on a date, but Sorcerer Supreme Wong needs assistance: Arts, Comedy and Action; well straight off the bat I knew by reputation that the computer animation surrounding Attorney Jennifer Walters/She-Hulk was notoriously bad, but in this episode this is where it really showed through, for example look at any close-ups in this section alone and you will see some examples. Sorcerer Supreme Wong calls Attorney Walters/She-Hulk's mobile, but she declines his calls, so Sorcerer Supreme Wong opens up a dimensional portal behind her couch and enquiries to why she isn't answering her phone, in short he gets her to join him to combat these many upon many daemons; this is a good action sequence in its entirety.

Ending credits scene: Storyline; there is an ending credits scene after the first lot of ending credits.

This episode receives: 7/10, this episode is good; things are progressing nicely but hopefully I don't see this low quality computer animation again or at minimum not this low.

The People vs. Emil Blonsky/Abomination: Comedy and Character [Character developments;] Attorney Jennifer Walters is waiting for her number one witness Sorcerer Supreme Wong to show up and attempt to clear her client Emil Blonsky/Abomination of his recent bad behaviour/good behaviour here; Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings 2021 link https://averagemansreviews2017.blogspot.com/2023/02/shang-chi-and-legend-of-ten-rings-2021.html if you are interested. But as he is running late Attorney Walters quickly thinks on her feet and to stall she hands things over to Emil Blonsky to make a statement; basically the first person on the parole board doesn't want to entertain this, but the second one is, so she am paraphrasing here wants to hear what he has to say where in a nutshell he has remorse for his actions.

Mugging is unsuccessful: Action; Attorney Jennifer Walters is walking home with some groceries and this single mugger grabs Attorney Walters, he encourages another by this time Attorney Walters has changed into something a little bit more comfortable She-Hulk to take care of this group of muggers

Ending credits scene: Storyline; there is an ending credits scene after the first lot of ending credits.

This episode receives: 8/10, this episode is excellent; this TV program continues to be funny and not take itself too seriously, obviously there is seriousness there, but it isn't uptight.

I am sure at one point or another we must have had a reference like this; but not this nailed on: Character [Character developments] and Comedy; Attorney Jennifer Walters is on the phone with her cousin Dr. Bruce Banner/Hulk; where he makes reference to I was a different person back then literally; this is in reference to Edward Norton as Dr. Bruce Banner/Hulk in the film title The Incredible Hulk 2008 link if you are interested https://averagemansreviews2017.blogspot.com/2017/09/the-incredible-hulk-2008-by.html, then to be replaced by Mark Ruffalo in the subsequent projects using the Hulk up to this point anyway. Because I am aware of the world we live in, I am sure we must have had a reference at some point about this, but I have specifically used the words " nailed on" to give myself a little bit of leeway, because Dr. Bruce Banner/Hulk acknowledges it in such a as I have already said nailed on manner, which is a nod to the viewing audience is in one way or another so far this TV program likes to break-the-fourth-wall.

Ending credits scene: Storyline; there is an ending credits scene after the first lot of ending credits.

This episode receives: 8/10, this episode is excellent; this second episode continues to set out things, so there is progression which as I haven't seen the next episode yet I am hoping there are going to start building more in or on these first two episodes.

Family rivalry: Character [Character developments,] Action and Comedy; we reach the part of this episode where Dr. Bruce Banner/Hulk and his cousin Deputy District Attorney Jennifer Walters/She-Hulk can do with her release on life; we have a little bit of Tai Chi, Boulder Toss [where on his actual effort the second time Dr. Bruce Banner/Hulk shows what he can really do as his first attempt was a demonstration,] Giant Leap, Yoga, and Ground Pound [where Deputy District Attorney Jennifer Walters/She-Hulk she wins this one; even though Dr. Bruce Banner/Hulk has performed a demonstration version again the first time around, but I can only take it on face value. But in fairness and balance Deputy District Attorney Jennifer Walters/She-Hulk is more agile than her cousin.] Throughout this montage there is this comical tone which by the end let's just say in a nutshell Dr. Bruce Banner/Hulk pushes his cousin of the side of this cliff, which she is absolutely fine sheen leaps back up.

Ending credits scene: Storyline; there is an ending credits scene after the first lot of ending credits.

Pretty woman, walkin' down the street: in a nutshell Edward Lewis [Richard Gere:] is a very successful businessman which owns his own business called Edward Lewis Enterprises; he is very business orientated. He meets Vivian Ward [Julia Roberts:] an adult entertainer; she is a good person that finds herself in this current lifestyle, which between them they come up with business deal going on for just less than a week for $3000.

The framework and pacing of this 119 minutes film is smoothly good, it uses an old-fashioned but in this timeframe of in the history of cinema it uses background music to complement sequences from time to time, to convey what kind of emotions or/and atmosphere the audience should be feeling at this moment in time in the film.

Art: Lewis plays the piano for a very short time.

Comedy, Character developments and performances: the comedy and character developments come from the same place; meaning they come from two people coming from two different worlds and how the less wealthy one tries to fit in, so for an example Barnard "Barney" Thompson [Héctor Elizondo:] the manager of   Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel, which he is a warmhearted individual in this case is trying to teach Ward about the cutlery. The character developments are the reliably good versions of what they are meant to be, from a excellent partnership of Gere and Roberts; having faultless chemistry, but also being supported by this cast which they all put in good performances; generally speaking on average there is good chemistry throughout this cast.

This film receives: 8/10, this film is excellent; this is one of those films that you should at least see once in your lifetime. The sad thing about this film is; it just reminds me that generally speaking we aren't going to see too many occasions of this anymore and yes I know this is just a film. But this film was released in the 1990's and in roughly speaking 2023 there is more than divides us than ever before and let's be honest most people cannot be bothered to overlook or meat someone halfway and unfortunately I should know what I'm talking about; there is a number of things that have been thrown in my face like this for an example my disability. The person I watch some of these films agreed that we are so far away from just two different people coming from two different worlds, but might actually be happy together. This film also has awards accredited to it 8 Winners that includes BMI Film & TV Awards 1991 BMI Film Music Award James Newton Howard and at the same award ceremony/event Most Performed Song from a Film Per Gessle For the song "It Must Have Been Love". Golden Globes, USA 1991 Golden Globe Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture - Comedy or Musical Julia Roberts. Nominees 11 that includes Academy Awards, USA 1991 Oscars Best Actress in a Leading Role Julia Roberts and from the same award ceremony/event from earlier Golden Globe Best Motion Picture - Comedy or Musical Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Comedy or Musical Richard Gere and Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture Hector Elizondo.

The Bagel: in summary; we meet this family who own this launderette Evelyn Wang/other versions in other multi-versus [Michelle Yeoh:] a middle-aged lady that has done very little with her life and on top of that she is struggling to connect with her daughter Joy Wong/other character [Stephanie Hsu:] doesn't live with her parents and is quite happy in a same-sex relationship, which her mother doesn't know how to deal with this, as you will see she has lots on her plate in one way or another with the business, her husband and her father coming, but soon she will realise that she has a purpose to fulfil.

The framework and pacing of this 139 minutes film is on both counts like the rest of it insanely quick once it gets going and on top of that it is slightly built as a theatre production as in following parts. I have to point out and I have made this known for some time I am dyslexic, so anyone that has any problems with reading, will be like myself struggling to keep up or slightly disinterested in this film they; as this film uses subtitles and I have to be honest I hate everything about these subtitles they are small, very small and yellow why oh why did they have to be yellow? Mostly yellow there are other styles of text, because if you are to my level of dyslexic requirements; the text has to be big and doesn't clash with anything underneath which it does. The person I watch some of these films with tried to read some of the subtitles and she couldn't keep up so on the important bits and pieces we had to pause and full disclosure we got the rough idea of the storyline, but I did ask what is happening? This individual is said I don't know. Later on I asked did this individual want to continue watching this film? Yes. So without sounding arrogant I know I am logically sound so I can work out things relatively easy, so I can roughly work out the storyline.

General perspective: this film is lots of fun for an example Deirdre Beaubeirdre [Jamie Lee Curtis:] IRS inspector/other versions in other multi-versus perform wrestling moves on  Waymond Wang [Ke Huy Quan:] a loving husband to Evelyn that helps her run the launderette/other versions in other multi-versus or/and in one way or another we get to see adult sexual toys being used for more than their intended purpose [that is probably as clean as I can put that.] The art is mesmerising there is more often than not some form of highly level of creativity or imagination, be it the scenery, landscapes, wardrobe or the science fiction representation, as I have already said more often than not there is always something to see and experience with this project and in some cases you may have to be quick on seeing something.

Character developments and performances: they obviously play into the character developments of different versions of these characters such as for an example the version that has sausage fingers [basically big fingers,] so they have to use their feet instead. This is very much a cast performance from everyone involved, as you will see this is one of those films that everyone brought everything to the table, but I am sure no one will mind from this cast that I have to say Michelle Yeoh as Evelyn Quan Wang; leads this cast perfectly as she feels right at home in this lead role position and obviously I am going to bring up this performer James Hong as Gong Gong [Cantonese for grandfather;] Evelyn' father and Joy's grandfather, he is in the old ways of how things used to be. It has always a pleasure to see him in the film title or any project really.

This film receives: 9/10, this film is excellent; as you may have guessed by now it has so much to offer at a rapid speed that I am pretty sure you will find something you like in this film, but even though I have been positive about this film I want you to keep in mind the problems I had with this film and the individual I watched this film said I am paraphrasing here; It was just too much and I couldn't keep up with the subtitles as well. This is me now talking again and relatively early gave up with the subtitles so I can understand what this individual is saying here. This film has masses of awards accredited to it Winners 370 including all from the same award ceremony/event Academy Awards, USA 2023 Oscars Best Original Screenplay Daniel Kwan Daniel Scheinert, Best Motion Picture of the Year Daniel Kwan (producer) Daniel Scheinert (producer Jonathan Wang (producer,) Best Achievement in Directing Daniel Kwan Daniel Scheinert, Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role Michelle Yeoh, Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role Jamie Lee Curtis, Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role Ke Huy Quan and Best Achievement in Film Editing Paul Rogers. 347 Nominees including and the continuing from this event/ceremony Best Achievement in Music Written for Motion Pictures (Original Score) Son Lux, Best Achievement in Music Written for Motion Pictures (Original Song) Ryan Lott David Byrne Mitski For song "This Is a Life", Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role Stephanie Hsu and Best Achievement in Costume Design Shirley Kurata.

This individual takes an interest in DCI John Luther's life: in a nutshell; this individual Unknown/other characters: this is one of those occasions where the way this film has been written/shot I can't say this character's name, because it is an investigation to find out who he is [Andy Serkis:] a psychopath that exposes his victims most darkest secrets and uses them to his advantage and how can I forget he has a very dodgy hairstyle. So he uses his contacts and methods to put once DCI John Luther [Idris Elba:] a very dedicated, yet rule bending or breaking high-ranking Police Officer [Detective Chief Inspector] that will stop at nothing to get results behind bars and continues his killing spree, but Luther will find a way out and come for him.

The framework and pacing of this 129 minutes film; well on both counts they are good: the framework is dark in his presentation and yes the pacing may be a little bit slow to begin with, but it also covers so much in the opening section, but it does settle down and gradually picks up a good tempo, the more you get towards the end it builds up to a crescendo.

Comedy: we do have very tiny little bits of comedy for one example we have a wager between Luther and  Martin Schenk [Dermot Crowley:] a retired  Detective Superintendent/Head of the Serious and Serial Crime Unit Luther boss; that have a wager on which one they Is your first visit mystery individual or Luther.

Art/Action/Character developments and performances: yes on both counts as it relates to the art and action these are mostly solidly good; but in particular these snow or ice surroundings including later on Luther and Unknown/other characters are doing combat in his vehicle careering and splashing/syncing off and into/syncing is very cold/icy water obviously there are both trying to get out before they even drown or freeze to death; there has been a lot of hard work and high quality creativity used here.

Now I would like to expand on when I said "mostly" for those people that have followed my content long enough; it is unheard of that I call for this. But I hope someone picks up a negative award or at minimum a nominee as it relates to Unknown/other characters [Andy Serkis] hairstyle/toupee of some description, it is just awful; this is one of those occasions where you go " I know I should stop looking, but I can't" that is how bad this is. The character developments are reliably good versions of what they are meant. The performances are likewise good from everyone in this cast in particular Idris Elba as John Luther and Andy Serkis has Unknown/other characters, but this toupee detracts a little bit from his performance, it isn't his fault, but then again that is how bad this toupee is.

This film receives: 7/10, this film is good; full disclosure I have never seen the TV program which this film is connected to from 2010-2019; 5 seasons, 21 Episodes, like most things it is on my list of things to watch. But back to this film is a good film and fans of the TV show should like it, just to cover my back if this is a close approximate version of the TV program.

Urban meets Western is what we have here: briefly Nat Love [Younger: Chase Dillon/Older: Jonathan Majors:] a young boy/adult is a outlaw seeking revenge against Rufus Buck for killing his mother and father in front of him when he was younger, not only mentally scarring him, but he also physically scarred him with a pen knife.  Rufus Buck [Idris Elba:] is an outlaw that has been recently released from prison, he wants to see Nat Love as he has stolen a lot of money from him, he physically scarred Nat so when he comes for Buck you would know the man.

The framework and pacing of this 139 minute film is good; as we have Urban music consistently throughout this project which makes this film feel and use a modern up-to-date presentation even though it is set back in western times.

Art: the opening credit sequence is basically it is a black and red; with as I can best describe as gritty effects,] when you come across this opening credit sequence you will understand this much better, but needless to say it is very eye-catching and likewise for our this film there is scenery and wardrobe which can only be seen as eye-catching and detailed.

Comedy: there is a comedy sprinkling now and again I am paraphrasing here roughly; such as a character would rather be shot them here another character talk, so Nat Love obliges him.

Action: they are best associated with their time in history, so you will see basically a train hijacking, gunfights and so on and so forth; my example has to be Trudy Smith [Regina King:] the right-hand person to Buck in his gang with knives connected by a fine chain vs. Stagecoach Mary [Zazie Beetz:] a solarium owner in Douglas Town and ex-girlfriend of Nat with a shot gun without ammunition so using it as a club, we have breaks away from this action sequence but we see its conclusion; but this action sequence is all good.

Character developments and the performances: the character developments are reliably good versions of what they are meant to be with complimenting performances from everyone in this cast to bring the story to life.

This film receives: 7/10, this film is good; it is a solidly good entertaining film and yes it has so many awards accredited to its name; 29 Winners that includes BAFTA Awards 2022 BAFTA Film Award Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director, or ProducerJeymes Samuel (writer/director) and Black Movie Awards 2022 Black Movie Award Outstanding Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role Regina King. 80 Nominees that includes AARP Movies for Grownups Awards 2022 Movies for Grownups Award and at the same awards ceremony/event Best Buddy Picture Best Ensemble.

An opportunity has come knocking: for Courtland Gentry [Younger: Cameron Crovetti/Older: Ryan Gosling] a long-term imprisoned individual. But he gets given an opportunity by Donald Fitzroy a.k.a. Fitz [Billy Bob Thornton:] who works for the CIA, more specifically the Sierra program, he also has a niece by the name Claire Fitzroy/other last name [Julia Butters:] this person has a heart problem consequently she had to have a pacemaker put in, I'm not 100% sure but I think she has another last name, I think it gets reference once, I just can't find it or I could always be mistaken, but either way never mind. So Cameron Crovetti takes up this opportunity and for their becomes known as Sierra Six/Six.

The framework and pacing of this 129 minutes film is good; meaning on both counts what with this outlay and pacing it does what it is designed to do what with going back and forth between the past and present or going from country to country; it does what it is designed to do.

Art/Action: the Art on an individual basis first meaning after the first sequence of events we have black and white [I know it is more like grey, but let's not clutch at straws too much you get the idea] and in the first lot of ending credits; we get these silver/grey highly detailed crafted solid figures of these characters and references to the film we have just seen. Moving on to the art and action; here are just two examples; in a nutshell Six has been captured and contained in this trap, so he does what MacGyver would do and uses his what he has brought with him or what is around him to escape or/and much later on Six goes into this hedge maze to rescue Claire from Lloyd Hansen [Chris Evans:] a unhinged individual that likes his job way too much, that has been sent by the CIA to retrieve this stolen data and to clean up this entire situation.

Comedy, character developments and performances: the comedy comes to us from in the dialogue exchanges now and again. The character developments and the performances are both good; this is a good cast performance from everyone involved.

This film receives: 7/10, this film is good; this is one of those films that you can get a takeaway out to and be entertained by and finally yes this film has an award credit to his name Visual Effects Society Awards 2023 VES Award Outstanding Supporting Visual Effects in a Photoreal Feature Swen Gillberg Viet Luu Bryan Grill Cliff Welsh Michael Meinardus

This film is a lot about nothing and worse than that it sets itself up for a potential sequel: in a nutshell Evan McCauley/Heinrich Treadway 2020 [Mark Warburg:] a Infinite/Believer that can't remember fully about his previous lives such as this one item that controls the fate of the world this egg [not a living egg.] Bathurst 2020 [Chiwetel Ejiofor:] a Infinite/Nihilishs and their leader that wants to use this egg to destroy the world and themselves, so he and his followers can rest as a Infinites are stuck in this constant reincarnation cycle as long as there is some living organism they can reincarnate, but if there is no living organism they cannot reincarnate or if they use a specially designed weapons that basically store your soul on to USB consequently breaking the cycle so the individual in question can't reincarnate.

The frame work and pacing of this 146 minute film is as I have already indicated in saying a lot about nothing, there is lots happening but if we were to look past all of this action/art the frame work and pacing is solid, but it relies on distracting its viewers with action sequences such as  Evan McCauley sparring with Kovic [Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson:] a Infinite/Believer that is a big husky guy or/and in the closing stages of this film Bathurst 2020 is controlling these large type of drones in the way that Tony Stark/Iron Man would be proud of or for one more example when we have Heinrich Treadway 2020 [Mark Warburg:] on the motorcycle with his sword ridings off this cliff to then jump onto this aircraft to deal with this ongoing situation and Bathurst 2020: this is of the most highest order of action/art or art/action. Basically this film as it is has a lot to offer visually for most of the time, let's just say you'll know when it kicks in.

The character developments and performances; the character types are reliable templates of what they are meant to be, with performances that are best described as getting the job done; but be it the character developments or the performances even with comedy Which is once in a blue moon [off the top of my head I can remember one little bit of comedy; just to cover my back] they are still at best meh.

This film receives: 4/10, this film is mixed; because of be the art or/and action this film deserves to be outside of my poor section of my reviewing system. Yes this film has some awards accredited to its name and yes all but one is a positive award. 1 Winner Motion Picture Sound Editors, USA 2022 Golden Reel Award Outstanding Achievement in Sound Editing - Non-Theatrical Feature Mandell Winter (supervising sound editor) David Esparza (supervising sound editor) Hamilton Sterling (sound designer) Will Digby (sound effects editor) Micah Loken (dialogue editor) Sang Jun Kim (dialogue editor) Eryne Prine (foley editor) Mark Jan Wlodarkiewicz (music editor) Dan O'Connell (foley artist) John T.

Time and memory is a terrible thing to waste: in a nutshell David Marshall/other characters [Liam Neeson:] is a hitman has been given a contract to fulfil, even though he has tried to say he is out of this lifestyle, because his family condition like his brother of Alzheimer's is really beginning to affect his judgement, but before his condition develops he has got to sort this situation out for  Beatriz Leon [Mia Sanchez:] a child that was a part of his last contract, but he refused based on he doesn't terminate children and was pimped out by her father. But FBI Agent Vincent Serra [Guy Pearce:] a FBI Agent that tried to do the best by Beatriz, but another hitman got to her. So FBI Agent Serra and his unit can even speed up the investigation or Marshall will continue making his mark.

The frame work and pacing of this 114 minutes film the frame work as a reliably good rotation, the pacing for this project is predominantly slow for a good chunk of the film; basically it is slow but it does get quicker the more you watch of it, you will have to be patient with it to begin with.

Art/Action: we have some good looking skies to see and experience and Beatriz pictures and for the action they come from a reliably good variety of action; going on a rampage and those kind of things such as for an example briefly exploding a car to send a message.

Character developments and performances: on both counts they are solidly good, the character developments are the character types which you come to expect from this kind of film, just with an interesting take on it including Alzheimer's and likewise good performances from this cast.

This film receives: 6/10, this film is good; after everything is said and done this in fines itself at this mark

Poker night; three friends meet around the fourth friend's apartment: Fisherman [Matthew Lillard:] a quick mouth individual that seemingly is a bit of a dealer, you want anything for example off the back of a lorry he is your guy and likes gambling he money issues. Bolan [Dash Mihok:] seems like the quiet and respectable one, a runner of a mental health/mental well-being organisation, has a wife but they are having issues conceiving, Quigley [Ryan Reynolds:] a wine salesman, has an ex-wife and a daughter that lives apart from him, has money issues because of that and finally we come to Tepper "Tepp" [Erik Palladino:] possibly an artist with the equipment he walks into this apartment with, tonight is going to be a big night for him as later on he is going to ask his girlfriend Carla [Carly Pope:] an onstage performer as whilst her boyfriend is playing poker she has rehearsals, a good woman who knows he is going to ask her tonight, because they have discussed it. But he does come across as a people pleaser and coward, but you know if they are going to get married they are going to need money. So it is a good thing that this unforeseen situation should fall right into Tepp involving Avery Phillips [James Earl Jones:] an ex-firefighter, a current bus driver and his lost property which Tepp has found for him.

The frame work of this project uses the outlay of in this location and/or in this situation, which basically means anything before or after this project it doesn't matter, we are here to experience this period in these characters lives and the pacing of this 100 minute film is good, it just needs to keep things moving smoothly moving along.

Art: we see a painting [which on a quick side note led me to believe that Tepp is an artist;] it is a colourful portrait of his girlfriend Carla; it is located in this sequence when/where we first see the surroundings of his apartment.

Action: there is some poker based action and a little bit of other action later on as well.

Character developments and performances: generally speaking first of all for the majority of this cast his character developments and performances are all good.

But now we come on to some real substance Dash Mihok as Bolan indicates or/and implies multiple things; like he makes reference to whilst looking at a picture at them from their schooldays what they were like, which also implies he may have not been the smartest one back in those days based on how the other three speak to him or treat him in the present times, which in turn indicates or/and implies he is the one out of the group that had to work hard and knuckle down to get where he wants to be, consequently he may have a little complaint here and there about things like people stealing office supplies. The hard reality of conceiving a baby in front of Phillips and discussing it with him and with Fisherman being involved in this conversation as well and based what  Bolan has witnessed tonight; that he knows deep down that the sands of time wait for no individual as he begins to set some things on this shelf, in the manner that suggests we were that, but I think it is now time for me to break away from these people I knew once and to hammer that home, he doesn't even collect is $20. Fishman has it in his hands, because Bolan just wants to get out of here as an adult, it symbolises if my friendship to you guys amounts to $20 you can keep it which Fishman does and then we move on to the one and only James Earl Jones as Avery Phillips; he performs as a hard-working family man churchgoer that needs a lucky break as always it is a pleasure and extreme honour to see Jones on the screen: performing the only way he can to a very high level, so as you can see these two individual or/and together characters and performers are on reflection excellent.

This film receives: 7/10, this film is good; on reflection again because of these two character developments and performances, I have decided to award another mark to this title, if you like a period situation based film title? Take a look at this film all in all it is a good film and no surprise it has some awards accredited to its name 3 Winners that includes DVD Exclusive Awards 2003 DVDX Award Best Actor in a DVD Premiere Movie James Earl Jones. Nominees 3 that included from the same award ceremony/event Best Live Action DVD Premiere Movie Brad Van Arragon Katy Wallin Shawn Williamson.
