119: The Losers

Springy, energetic and with a top quality cast, The Losers has a lot going for it. Well it did until they decided to make it a 12 certificate film CAUSEITFUCKINGRUINEDIT.

The Losers is an anti-film. It's all about not seeing what the film portrays.

118. Transformers: Age of Extinction

I feel like I should have been rewarded for watching the full 165 minutes. It really is an exercise in endurance. 

Anyway, its the usual monotone delivery by Bay (11 AT ALL TIMES!!!) and the worse script since the last one. It's excruciating bile of the worst kind; That said I will probably watch the next one. What the fuck is wrong with me?!

117. Sabotage

 

David Ayer does an Arnie movie! Albeit one that's a bit of a skittish mess that only delivers the full Arnold in the final scene but without the one liners. Its a savage waste really, as he could have rehashed a line or two from the Mr Freeze portrayal in Batman and Robin.

Probably.

116. Hanna

A strange mixture of death and violence and a 12 certificate. Utterly terrifying at times and an excellent use of a deer. Recommended.

115. Machete

Great first 2/3s but then blows the finale with a drawn out flabby final act. But then whaddya expect from Robert Rodriguez? He probably takes 15 minutes to flick a light switch...

It's shit, albeit good shit but not great shit.

114. Robocop - The Directors Cut

Just about best film in the world if you're a 15 to 56 year old male. It has everything a growing boy needs! 

Now with even more blood, exploding arms and heads (courtesy of animatronic Weller) in Verhoven's masterful Directors Cut.

113. The Princess Bride

 Beautifully judged whole hearted fun with many memorable lines that I'm not going to quote here.
