The Killing of a Sacred Deer - well that was just strange, Barry Keoghan really does play unhinged characters well. wasn't overly keen on the dry line delivery instilled through the film but it does fit the overall style of the film.
What film did you watch last night?

Beekeeper - your classic Jason Stratham movie. It's a winning formula if you like his type of movies. It was cheesy but was surprised how good it was. The equaliser but less subtle. First time I watched a Screen X showing which was interesting. 7/10.

Kill Your Friends, seen it before, imagine a British American Psycho set in the A&R industry with matey out of skins... Nothing revolutionary, but decent, especially for a first time viewing.

Equilibrium (2002)
Low budget film that looks like it had no budget. Poor acting considering the cast. Action scenes that rip off The Matrix badly. To be honest I don't why I stuck it out until the end.
3/10

I think it is fantastic! A 9/10 for me definitely!

Equilibrium is great!
I hadn’t heard of this but saw him plugging it on Graham Norton. The clip they showed was abysmal, like totally embarrassing. I like the guy but he was clearly swayed by the Netflix chequebook. If that’s the best they could find then I’m surprised you gave it a 2!
Netflix at this point are clearly making “made for TV” movies and they obviously don’t care.

I felt bad for the film crew giving it a 1 - if I were to rate it purely on the movie, -24
I honestly don't get how Netflix can have some 9-10/10 shows, but then they burn millions on utter garbage. Worse when the concept is decent but the production kills it.
100% agree, apart from the unnecessary dig at The Rock
I'll give it a 3/10. Cast looked good and was billed as a heist movie, plus Ursula corbero (Tokio in money heist).
Wasn't really a heist movie. CGI was bad. Story was barely a story. Everything happened too fast with no explanation.
I need to cancel Netflix fory own sanity! So many bad films, but the known directors and actors suck me in every time and most are barely 5/10 movies imo.

There are some great movies on Netflix but most of them are pretty average at best. Shows are where it's at.
Sleepaway Camp , classic early 80's horror
Also probably the first and only transgender slasher , was wondering if the final scene would be cut and it was.
probably couldnt get away with calling under age girls baldies now as well , definitely a film of its time.

Role Play - 3/10 - Kaley Cuoco stars as a suburban mum who is also an international assassin, and if that sounded dumb to read then trust me the film is even worse. This is the sort of guff which used to be "direct to VHS/DVD" back in the day but now its Amazon (in this case) or Netflix or some other streaming platform which is busy converting cash to nothing on films like this.
Cuoco can't shake that "TV actress" type of casting here and she is never once believable in her assassin role, although her stunt team needs a huge pay rise for doing so much for her. The rest of the main cast are "movie" actors (and somehow it shows vs a TV actor) but outside of a fantastic cameo near the start, most have almost nothing really decent to do and feel very 1 dimensional.
The humour is very poor, the CGI is very poor, you can see there's a very obvious lack of budget to actually do much after the location shoots they chose looked to take most of it, but some of the cinematography is OK, especially towards the ending. However in the end its just a very poor film made without any obvious desire to shine and I think its fully deserving the 17% critics rating on RT.

Just watched and really enjoyed overall, but I agree ending was worst bit. Probably should have ended in the coffee shop. The kaiser soze reveal wasn’t needed and felt wrong
An Officer and a Murderer https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2223824/
Quite a short film with plenty of details being absent or altered, but reasonable in terms of its 'entertainment' value.
Good performance by Gary Cole.
That guy really did throw it all away… and cause misery in his wake.
