Had a very lazy day yesterday watching Netflix...
DEAD MAN DOWN. Colin Farrell's eye brows battle it out with Noomi Rapace's cheek bones to distract the view from what could have been a really exciting action/revenge flick but fail. The direction is very disjointed, switching from gritty realism to sub Michael Mann cool which buggers up the pacing and feel of the film. The wildly over the top ending feels like it has been grafted on from another film, one that would normally feature a big guy with a ponytail and wig...
UNINHABITED. A couple go for an idyllic holiday on a desert island only to discover a blow job giving ghost who likes to chop men's knobs off. It is neither here nor there really, stuff happens and you don't really give a shit. The main actress has a great nose.
NEVER BACK DOWN. Basically a homoerotic remake of "The Karate Kid" for boys who have just discovered masturbation. Amber Heard shows off a lot of cleavage in an attempt to make the film more "straight".
FIGHTING. Rather good spin on "Midnight Cowboy" but with fighting instead of f#cking and a happy ending.
