Ambush (I) (2023)
2/10
Decent story poorly executed
7 February 2024
Warning: Spoilers
You needed technical assistance with key details in your story. The uniforms were a mixed bag. Jungle Fatigues in some cases and regular fatigues in other cases. Black patches on some uniforms and not others you had mixed helmets none of which were from the correct period I'm thinking. You have soldiers eating MRE's which were developed in 1963 but not fielded until long after. The COL leading the group had his rank on wrong and in silver in a combat zone. Finally someone thought to black them out. You got lots wrong but I thought the locations were realistic as were the tunnels and even the basic premise of your story. Also, it's doubtful in my mind that in 1966 that even most combat units were all using and fully equipped with M-16s let alone an Engineer company some soldiers would have still had the older M-14s. Name tags and US Army were White and Yellow in a combat zone which stopped well before 1966.

I did that the storyline was reasonably realistic, the tunnel rat intrigue was realistic and you were close in places but came off amateurish because you missed even basic details about uniforms and protocols. I did watch until the end rooting for them to achieve their key objective so I guess that's a plus. I hope you'll try again and pay more attention to detail more movies about Vietnam would garner watchers if well done.

I loved this series and this episode particularly Tom Selleck at his Best
15 March 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I absolutely loved this episode and I noticed it was written by Tom Selleck himself. He does an excellent job playing the character and writing this particular episode. I didn't notice if he wrote the others. This particular episode helped me see that so many things in this story are actually characters. Clearly, always and obviously the dogs but then there's his very distinctive and unusual "Old-school" handgun a 1911 looks like Smith & Wesson. Every episode I was staring at that pistol....trying to figure it out. His house and its location is a character, heck the town is a character, his brand and his scotch is a character. Watching just feels like following your favorite detective home.

Also, so many of the actual characters are deeply intuitive about things including the serial killer he interviews. I'll just end by saying you cannot go wrong if you like moody, picturesque, and thoughtful detective stories and Chief Stone is the perfect and likely policeman. Man I hope he finds a way to continue this series. I came way late to the party then beige watched them all on various streaming services but just a great and highly entering series of TV movies.

Started Great but loses its way.
16 December 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I loved the cinematography, especially at first, beautifully framed and shot. I loved the quiet slow style without music in many scenes. I also appreciated the plot and storylines. Nevertheless, after a while it wondered off into pointless depravity, lingering closeup body shots that made no sense, belabored pointless brutality, and just wondered away into nowhere. It's as if they ran outta ideas and were just making artsy cinematic nonsense. Sorry but you lost me by the end I was done and no wonder it was cancelled. That was the right move. More discipline was needed in staying on point. After a while I was just hoping it would get better. It didn't too bad ...if dialed back a bit with more discipline and better editing there tremendous potential here especially using this cinematic style. Next time try dialing back on the depravity, and homosexuality. Most of us are simply not that jaded and can't follow there.

Old but Good
15 January 2022
Old fashion gritty jungle movie war drama and the cinematography in spite of being in black & white is classic. Wonderful fun movie. Brings back memories of childhood and Saturday night at the movies with my dad and grandad watching war movies.

Great Movie
13 January 2022
Warning: Spoilers
This is a real life story filled with beautiful New Mexico scenery, first rate cinematography, down to earth storyline, excellent acting, and a real life ending. Hollywood, should take notice this is a wonderful and powerful human interest story that we can all relate to - you and old. Well done folks well done indeed. I started watching late and couldn't stop until I finished.

Deeply touching heartwarming movie.

Decent Movie Entertaining Watch
24 December 2021
Come on people this is actually a decent movie with decent production values and good acting. Every movie won't be a blockbuster. I appreciate that Nick Cage is out there putting in the work punching the clock. Way to go Nick.

I Loved it.
12 September 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Looks like it was actually filmed in Horse Cave, KY - I haven't visited there since I was a child but it looked authentic. It was very decent Saturday Night cowboy movie. Yes it had a hokie ending but I like that. I loved the cinematography And production values and the acting was decent. Get real people every movie isn't gonna garner an Oscar. This movie was darn decent indeed.

I found it enjoyable enough
2 August 2021
Warning: Spoilers
It's listed as released in 2021 on Amazon Prime. Had I known it was actually released in 2008 I would have skipped it ...that would have been a mistake. It's a good movie. I think it's slow, plodding, and even predictable in places nevertheless I couldn't stop watching and found it above average enjoyable. Very decent movie.

Excellent movie and so unexpected
1 August 2021
I watched thinking it would just prove my usual Saturday Night Special - which is usually nothing special and I generally don't like or watch fighter comeback movies or fighter movies of any type. Well I got lucky this time as I was intrigued by the previews.

I loved it and it deserves way better ratings than it gets here. Well done indeed this movie is destined to become a classic. Good movie in every respect. Well done indeed.

I watched to the end and it's not a bad movie. I've seen much worse rated better. Decent movie. Nobody's getting an academy award but way better than a three rating.

Dune Drifter (2020)
6/10
Enjoyable Movie overall
10 May 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Some of the costumes features with the Deeks or whatever they were were weak but overall I liked the special effects and this was one determined young lady. I went from thinking she was a for certain goner to wow she's a badass personified. Fought every step of the way and kept her head even when it seemed she wasn't.

Best of all I watched it on Mother's Day. Watch and you will know why that's an important point. Decent movie guys. I thought you got a little bogged down inside the tent but overall well done. I enjoyed it immensely.

Without Remorse (II) (2021)
6/10
I enjoyed the movie it was Okay
2 May 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Come on people - there are no women wearing the Navy Seal Trident - cute concept but an especially bad idea in a Tom Clancy Movie. Even my wife ask "are there women Seals now? Total distraction it was glaring and grossly inaccurate. Yes, women are moving along as in 2020 the Army Special Forces had their first woman qualifier in 2020 - not so with the Seals.

You attract people looking for authenticity, with a Tom Clancy theme and there wasn't much of that. There were mistakes even with the uniforms worn, weapons used, you need technical advice to do a Tom Clancy movie. The lead actors were talented and were able to drag even this thing across the finish line. Hopefully, next time you'll pay more attention to detail and make a better sequel. Remember people are serious about their Tom Clancy so evoking his name requires effort. My wife the real Tom Clancy fan in the family was totally nonplussed.

Also, people who know about the military will be watching for you to up your game. Actually a decent outing for your first blockbuster action flick. I'm looking forward to your next outing.

Let your Guest Talk
11 March 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I love you Drew but I don't wanna hear you talk. I wanted to spend as much time as possible with Marlo and Phil. I don't often watch your show but when I do I wanna hear you talking only in transitions and bringing out what your guests have to say. Yes you're a beautiful, cool, smart, young lady but it's about your guests.

I don't wanna see a showcase on you every day. Perhaps it's made more difficult because of the Pandemic ...time will tell. Sincerely wishing you the best.

The Equalizer (2021– )
3/10
Come on People - Action Adventure??
1 March 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Seems like you guys can't decide between family drama and Action Adventure. I hear ex-CIA I don't wanna see somebody driving their kids to school like a family show.

You have enough weaknesses without adding family nonsense ...if I wanna see family stuff I'll watch ....well Blackish or something. You don't have long to turn this around folks. I'm rooting for you I like the Queen and I've seen her credibly play tough before but your plot sucks here folks. Get it together.

No I'm not your demographic perhaps but I don't think you've got one. What are you guys thinking. Decent production values though well shot has potential but what else you got for a plot.

After all that it made no sense
3 January 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I appreciated the acting and much of the scenery but it was ponderous, rambling, and pointless. In the end it just made nonsense to me. I'm amazed that indeed I watched the whole movie.

Interesting Premise
9 July 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Interesting premise and you need to update the title in your database. I just watched this on ScreenPix and it's titled "Whiskey and Ghosts" and apparently dubbed from Spanish into English although still lots of Spanish is spoken. Tolerable I'm thinking... if you know what to expect.

Wow just a truly terrible movie
3 July 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Plot was all over the board, special effects weren't bad actually just pointless. Acting was just okay at best but left me wondering how they convinced anyone to find their project. I kept watching hoping it might have a clearer point or might get better it didn't. Just an amazingly bad movie.

Primal (2019)
6/10
Enjoyable Fun Movie
1 July 2020
Warning: Spoilers
I especially liked the photograph in the early jungle scenes in this movie I enjoyed the interplay between Frank and the lady LT. I also appreciated the photography in the low light scenes as much of the action takes place in lo light conditions and so often it's difficult to see so well done there. I appreciated the acting and how Ms. Famke Janssen played her part but as a retired military person I thought help was needed with her hair and makeup in spots. She pulls off the role well but her hair and makeup was distracting and not military and there were small issues with her uniform. She's pretty enough and didn't need the makeup or at least done differently especially her hair the make was actually passable. Overall fun movie that I enjoyed.

Excellent and Entertaining movie
25 June 2020
I thought the production values were superb, I loved the locations, the photography and cinematography were stellar and the acting from all players was excellent. I thought the fight scene between the star and his younger self were a bit too long and darkly lit but overall a really fun action movie that will endure as a classic.
