My quick rating - 5.5/10. I felt like they crossed The Meg with Fast and Furious to come up with this sequel. I was definitely not...

Fast X (2023)
My quick rating - 6.2/10. I am fairly sure I know what to expect. Fast X is a roaring comeback for the Fast and Furious franchise, proving that lightning can strike twice even after a letdown like F9: The Fast Saga . Producer Justin Lin 's return to the helm keeps new life flowing into the series, and with the addition of Jason Momoa as the formidable antagonist, the film reaches new heights of excitement and intensity. The movie picks up with Dom Toretto ( Vin Diesel ) an

Extraction 2 (2023)
My quick rating - 6.9/10. I enjoyed the first one for the action, so let's see what the sequel brings. The good news is I enjoyed this one a slight bit more than the first, even. Extraction 2 is an adrenaline-fueled sequel that improves on the foundation laid down by the first film and propels us on yet another adrenaline-packed ride. If the first one was a thrill ride due to its intense action scenes, be prepared for something even more exciting this time. The movie gets off

The Wrath Of Becky (2023)
My quick rating - 5.8/10. I had no idea they were making a sequel to Becky which I saw a few years back. I gave the first one just short of a 6, so we'll see about this one. Prepare yourself for an unexpected rollercoaster of intense thrills and darkly comic moments as this film picks up where its predecessor left off, offering a heightened dose of Lulu Wilson 's captivating performance as the titular character and a deliciously amusing turn by Seann William Scott as the wi

Lust And Found (2015)
My quick rating - 4.9/10. For being filmed in Hong Kong, they do a fabulous job of not showing you any part of the city that makes it so unique. Amusing but very forgettable. Seems the only place to check this one out is Google Play . And Plex doesn't have it. Lust And Found (2015) #action #IMDB

The Tough Ones (1976)
My quick rating - 5.9/10. Sometimes, a simple IMDB comment like this, " Excellent Italian Police Brutality ," is enough to sucker me into watching. Since a dubbed option was available, I figured, why not? A random hunchbacked character ( Tomas Milian )? Definitely an interesting flick if you want to check out what the Italian crime movie scene was like in the mid-1970s. Just some really bizarre scenes in this, such as Milian hijacking an ambulance and then killing everyone o

American Ninja (1985)
My quick rating - 5.1/10. This popped up on Radarr, and I just had to watch it again. I remember seeing this on VHS as a kid, but I don't remember much about it, minus the name. Realistically, it probably isn't a great flick in the slightest, but it still is fun. If you are the right age, you will surprisingly still get a kick out of it, since without the nostalgia, it doesn't hold up all that well. Michael Dudikoff was working on taking the helm as the martial arts star of

Brotherhood of Blades (2014)
My quick rating - 6.5/10. I have read good things about this before, and I thought a change of pace would be nice. Unfortunately, the English dubbing is way off, and this is the Blu-ray, so aside from software time shifting, there isn't an easy fix (in other words, I'll try at some point). The action in this is well-choreographed and edited to a tee. The camerawork to film the scenes makes each look great and fits in with the epic nature of the music chosen during the battles

The Kingdom (2007)
My quick rating - 7.2/10. This one sounds familiar, and if it is the one I am thinking of, I know it is good stuff. Yes, this definitely was the flick I was thinking of. The film does a great job of giving solid action that is choreographed very well, along with laying down a political commentary to back it up. The cast was solid top to bottom, with no single person standing out, so why not name the main players? The movie begins with an attack on a foreign compound in Riyadh

A Better Tomorrow (1986)
My quick rating - 7.6/10. I recently acquired a remastered edition of this classic flick out of Hong Kong that put Chow Yun-Fat on the map as the premier action star of Asia. I doubt my rating will change much. This one is a bit more dramatic than his offerings that immediately followed and earned him his cult following, namely The Killer and the absolute masterpiece Hard Boiled . Basically, anytime John Woo and Chow Yun-Fat teamed up, they made memorable flix that are st

The Covenant (2023)
My quick rating - 7.6/10. The Covenant seems to be a very realistic war flick that drops us in the middle of the very unpleasant experience that is war. This particular war is raging in the country of Afghanistan. This film is directed by Guy Ritchie , which seems like an unusual choice, given the fact that he usually deals with fast-paced, highly action-packed films that involve gangsters. It follows Ahmed, a local interpreter played by Dar Salim , and U.S. Army Sergeant Jo
