L'ultima notte di Amore (2023)
Illogical, Lenghty, stupid. Avoid!
We have the story of a cop, that is on the last day of his job. During duty he saves a triad bosses life and gets offered a job in his security service. A Job he simply doesn't DARE to refuse and here is where it starts - If you safe a mans life and he calls you his hero, you're not oblidged to do ANYTHING.
Then there is his wife. A cops wife. Not having any Intuition AT ALL, which is very unusual für woman anyhow, as they sense danger miles away, while us men sometimes tend to wonder what her problem might be, but a cops wife??? Seriously? A Triad boss offers your man a job and you be like: oh thats a nice man...you are retiring and now we could spend more time together, BUT you really should take this job, as this is the job opportunity you been waiting all you life for.
When he later picks up a mule to drive her to the destination safely, this person is acting like she's routined and has done this many times already. The same person then totally loses it all over sudden and endangers the whole operation. While they get attacked in the tunnel and there is a big shoutout, passengers drive by, not calling the police, all the time in the world passes for him to alter the crime scene. He wipes the steering weel clean for prints, then taps all over the door and frame without covering his hands. Then sets the car on fire in front of a dozen whitnesses driving by... Then he throws the cargo, WHICH HIS LIFE DEPENDS ON, onto a bridge. Not knowing where it lands and whats on top of that bridge, the sack could burst, diamonds all over the place, someone else might find it first and so on.
I could get more into details about what else doesnt make sense, as this movie is riddled with holes, but what really takes the cake is the end, where he just explaines to a triad boss in front of his whole Crew, that he is going to keep the diamonds now which are worth a couple mill, just because he could use the money and thinks he deserves it. Triad boss didnt respect his rules and thats the punishment he has to live with. Punishment from a guy, that is not even a cop anymore at this point and holds NO LEVERAGE...(Whut!?)
This flick is soulless, unfunny, illogic and plain stupid. Hard to describe for me without going into details. Sorry for spoilers.
Downhill (2020)
Wrong Expectations...I liked it A LOT!
People expecting a light hearted comedy, will of course be dissapointed.
Will is as good as ever, just not as outgoing and ridiculouslly funny as usual and Julia is playing the same frustrated drama queen she proofed to perfectly being capable of, back in the Heydays of Seinfeld.
So whats entertaining in this? Well...probably exactly what most of the dissapointed viewers brought up their walls. It's holding the mirror in front of peoples faces.
About marriage, kids, lovelife going DOWNHILL, over reacting because you cant stand the person next to you anymore, being fed up by his/her flaws and that has been thematised in flicks before, right?
Well...if you like Julia or Will as Actors go for it. Just be aware that it's more in that direction of "Carnage" with a even more serious touch, instead of being like "Stepbrothers" or "Seinfeld"
I pretty much enjoyed it and had to laugh about the stubbornness and the histrionic behavior of Julia. Just like in Seinfeld it's a story about nothing special and sometimes that is enough.
Akinjeon (2019)
Pretty enjoyable
A fun ride from Start to finish. Action was on point. Intensive fights and thrilling car chases. Likable Characters too. Wont make it in the top hundred but is a decent Choice of a Popcorn flick. Go for it!
