An American crime comedy directed by Ruben Fleischer, starring Jesse Eisenberg, Danny McBride, Michael Peña and Fred Ward.
A pool cleaner wants to have his rich father assassinated and asks his friend for help. The hitman costs $10,000 so they abduct the pizza delivery driver and attach a bomb to him, telling him to rob a bank. The pizza boy picks up his friend and they try to go through with the robbery.
Not too shabby. Cliche, predictable and stupid, but funny. The plot held my interest really well and the characters fit their roles well. Everyone did a good job of acting, but I like Jesse Eisenberg because of his role in Zombieland (2009). The video that I found was absolutely terrible. It was stretched vertically and very grainy. I would not recommend arabmoviez. The video all looked to be correct exposures and there was shot variety. Editing was mostly quick because of the numerous action scenes. Audio was surprisingly good, although that may just be the extreme compression. I could hear everything well. I'm rating this adequate because it's a fun movie that should just be taken at face value. You might want to watch it if you liked 21 & 22 Jump Street (2012 & 2014).
A British American science fiction directed by Ridley Scott, starring Michael Fassbender, Billy Crudup, Danny McBride and Demian Bichir.
A ship of colonists are awakened from hypersleep when their ship is damaged in space. They hear a transmission of someone singing an American pop song and land on the planet to investigate. 2 of the crew members become infected with a substance which causes them to spawn alien-like creatures and one crew member blows up the landing ship while trying to kill one of the creatures. They soon meet a synthetic who has been living on the planet for 10 years.
Not bad, but it should have been much better. The complex plot held my attention, but the characters were all very shallow, except the synthetic from the planet. Although he was the antagonist, he was also the main character, filling a role usually reserved for human protagonists. I've noticed a trend in recent films in which robots are not only treated as people, but sometimes portrayed as being better than people. Just look at Transformers and AXL (which I want to see soon). The robots show emotion and form attachments like humans. Anyway, this film did not have enough aliens for me and the action scenes were a little too short. The CG looked impeccable, of course and it suffered from short shot syndrome (too many quick cuts). What happened to pans and tilts? Nobody does that anymore? I rate this adequate.
