Fire with Fire (2012)
Decent Revenge Movie
A reasonable revenge movie with Bruce Willis adding some nostalgic star value, along with Vinnie Jones and even 50 Cent.
The main bad guy was cast well in my opinion - enough for me to really want him dealt with.
There wasn't much deviation from the main plot, so not a very deep movie, but I did enjoy it.
Man on a Ledge (2012)
OLD SCHOOL then suddenly NEW SCHOOL ?
First off I will say the movie is well worth watching because strange events unfold having you wonder what's going on. Then 1 by 1 they start to make sense.
The first three quaters of the movie were "Old School" which is a GOOD thing. You know, carefully laid out, smoothly revealing one interesting event after the other, with good suspenseful moments along the way. A classy suspense movie.
Then suddenly the movie turned "New School". You know, "wham bam thankya mam", irrational, and somewhat childish in execution. Like watching a 'made for tv' movie.
It was like the skilled director decided to hand everything to a young first timer for practice !
Nevertheless, the movie wasn't ruined by this and was interesting all the way.
Geostorm (2017)
JUST WATCH THIS MOVIE for Special Effects Galore !
Just finished watching this in 2020.
The movie had truck loads of quality special effects and a decent unfolding story-line.
The acting was performed well enough to forget they were acting (which is always the yardstick for acting quality).
I been doing VFX for years and can assure anyone that this movie has QUALITY action and visual effects.
There are countless reviews of less than 3 stars sniping extreme remarks like "worst film i ever watched" -- really ? -- did they only ever watch Aliens 2 before this ?
My advice to anyone who likes a descent story-line, action and special effects -- WATCH THIS MOVIE -- and you, like me, will realize the movie deserves a decent rating and that the low star reviewers are either disturbed or their family is involved in a rival movie.
