Climate: The Movie (The Cold Truth) (2023)
Populist Garbage
If thinking is hard and conspiracy theories comforting, this is the film for you. Don't worry, everything will be absolutely fine. You just keep on burning your fossil fuels and don't worry about the future.
You've got a few more years in you yet? You have children? Grandchildren? Do you live near the coast? Do you live anywhere hot? Anywhere it rains? How about anywhere temperate - not too hot, not too cold - or anywhere others may like to also live?? Ahh, that's a bit trickier.
Climate change is a bit like gravity. You may not believe in it but you're in for a harsh surprise when you exit the window for your first flight. Climate change is happening and it's coming for you and your loved ones. Life's hard.
If you watched the film and thought, "ah, so all these so-called 'climate scientists' are wrong!", then you've been had. Yes, you may feel a bit better but you've been perfectly played.

Cold Pursuit (2019)
Thin story, random moments. All a bit daft
I wasn't expecting much from this film, and it delivered in spades. It's a film comprised of bits that never gel into anything resembling something coherent. The best parts are the glimpsed wilderness and the drip-fed opening credits, everything else is filling.
An inquisitive cop that's not very inquisitive and them randomly shows up in a scene where you doubt that you've been awake for the whole time.
A wife that leaves him without an argument or blatant cause.
A bitter sister-in-law with a missing back-story.
A son's death that's grieved only off-camera.
A killing spree without any depth or remorse.
A gay kiss because there hadn't been a gay kiss until that point and gay kisses are rife in the criminal underworld.
A random drive to clear roads with a cocaine baron, "because it's my job". You've just witnessed the murder of a dozen people, have a child hidden in a cupboard, drove a tree through the car roof of the main villain and you want to ensure that the roads are kept clear? Do you have emotional problems?
This film is a collage of all Liam Neeson's other films. Take the random snippets and attach them to a central, thin thread of "revenge". Oh, and it's got gratuitous heavy machinery if you're younger than 7.
Trouble Is My Business (2018)
Couldn't watch beyond 10 minutes
It's such a long time since I've seen such poor acting. What promised to be a Sin City (esque) thriller turned into a wooden, awkward embarrassment. It may have been great after 10 minutes but I'd rather poke pencils into my eyes than have to endure any more.
