Hope Lost (2015)
There is no hope for this movie...
The movie overall was interesting enough to watch the entire time. The acting was superb, but the storyline is depressing. This review contains **spoilers.
This movie is about sex trafficking and the sexual exploitation of women which is a serious issue that should be addressed in cinematic media. The title captures the essence of the despicable and deplorable outcome of sexual exploitation.
The movie provided with a few moments of hope in which the main character seemed to have found someone who was willing to rescue her, but those were just twists in the movie to keep you clinging onto hope.
As the movie comes to an end, you may likely become upset, disappointed, or depressed with the climatic ending. I give the movie a 5 because it was entertaining, but left you thinking that the movie was just flat out horrible due to the storyline, but not the acting.
John Wick (2014)
Action, Action, and more Action!
The Good: This movie is non-stop action! The storyline is explained within the first twenty minutes of the movie, the rest of it just unfolds into nonstop action. You will find yourself rooting and cheering for John Wick (Keanu Reeves) to kick more butt. It is finally so good to see Mr. Reeves doing his thing once again. He is a superb actor and certainly delivers in this action film.
The Bad (this comment is a spoiler): The only bad thing I have to say about this film is the scenes involving his dog dying, although this was an important factor in his unresolved grief.
The Ugly: The movie has a lot of violent scenes so if you are unable to watch movies with a lot of killing and bloodshed, then this movie is not for you. The other action scenes cover primarily a mixture of martial arts, fist fights, and a few car chases.
Overall, I rated this movie a 10 for nonstop action, great acting, and for the love of seeing Keanu Reeves in a great movie once again.
