Cat Run movie review

I would have to say that after watching this film that it is a flawed but entertaining R rated film.

its an action comedy movie that involves a female escort who witness a goverment cover up of a crime and is then hunted by the people trying to cover it up, aided by two unlikely private detectives to expose the crime and escape the ruthless assassins sent to elimante her.

quite the simple plot yet filled with all sort of characters from funny and silly like Jullian played by Alphonso Mcauley to cold blooded killers like Helen played by Janet Mcteer who for me really stole the show with her brilliant peroformance as the british assassin, absolutely loved her !

the movie is a mixture of Action and Comedy which could work for and against the film, at times it felt like a Bond film, other times felt more like There is something about Marry !!

I mostly enjoyed the serious part of it, the mature violent kills and gory scenes, i also loved the setteing of the film that took a wide tour through European countries capturing some beautiful scenery which added much to the movie.

Action scene were pulled off with perfection, gun fights and a final fist fight not to be missed.

In short, the movie was flawed in certain areas, but was actaully pretty entertaining and worth a watch for sure, at least for Janet Mcteer's performance and some solid mature action.
I say 7.5 out of 10

Total Recall movie review

After watching the Dark Knight Rises this summer, i never thought ill watch another very good and entertaining film this same summer, but i was wrong.

after the average remake of Fright Night last year, Collin Farrel must have been worried about his second remake this year, Total Recall.

But i can safely say, that he shouldn't worry at all, because this movie delivered an enjoyable movie experience.

the plot is some what similar to the original film from the early 90s, where Farrel finds himself in a mistaken identity situation without knowing what is really going on, is he or is he not who he is ?

and so he embarks into a journey of self discovery while being chased by the ruthless Lori Quaid played by Kate Beckinsale who plays the bad guy "  or gal in this case ", again a surprise role since i never saw her in such a role.

on the other side of the coin we find Jessica Biel playing the mysterious girl who apears to be helping Farrel's character to remember who he was, or is she ?? her character wasn't that complex or difficult, and so she does a good job here.

now what really made this movie a very good one, is the none stop action, it was quiet an action packed movie with street chases, futuristic car chases, fist fights and even gun fights with very impressive visuals.

highly recommended and is actually better than the original " sorry Arnold ", not to be missed.

i say 8 out of 10

Dark Knight Rises movie review

Yes, and finally Batman is back in the third and final chapter of this amazing and exceptional movie franchise of the beloved superhero !!

the Dark Knight Rises was such an enjoyable movie experience, very dark with an engaging plot. I certainly felt that the 3 hours running time flew by so quickly.

As most of you know, that this film picks up around 8 years after the dark Knight events, and here we find that Batman is no more and Bruce Wayne has kept a low profile and isolated himself in his place. And only when a gruesome villain Bane starts terrorizing Gotham is what makes our Dark Knight rise again !!

a simple yet powerful plot executed with perfection by Nolan who captures the characters, the story and Gotham perfectly with just the right pace.

of course, Christian Bale plays an excellent Batman, all the critics agree that he is the best actor who ever played the role !!

and so to find a very good villain to fill the great performance of the late Heth Ledger as the Joker seemed difficult, but here comes Tom Hardy with another exceptional performance giving us another very strong and tough villain that Batman has ever faced. his voice and character will remain a classic for years to come just like what has Darth Vader had become.

I was also very skeptical  about casting Ann Hathway as Catwoman, i just didn't think she would pull it off, but i was surprised with her acting and how she owned the role, very very good.

Gary Oldman and Jordon Gordon Levitt also gave very memorable performances, so the acting was just superb all around.

the plot as i already mentioned was also very engaging, and there is also some powerful action scenes with impressive special effects, but nothing over the top like some of the latest blockbusters are !!

to me, this film owns the Avengers, and is wayyyy better than the Avengers at so many levels, and without the new and over rated 3D technology, proving that good movies don't need 3D to be good !!

Bravo Nolan, well done. I can also see an Oscar here some where ??
