This was a little bit how I find the games. Some of the set-piece action scenes are engaging, but aside from that, it isn't the most memorable adventure. Something I've been meaning to mention about other movies is the characters' fitness level. I'm a runner. Not only can most people not sprint for 2 minutes, you definitely can't whilst parkouring and not even be out of breath afterwards. You can't do lots of what happens in action movies, but that always bugs me. The movie is pretty much what I expected it to be. A popcorn film with some nice scenery and original action scenes, but nothing you'll remember in a few weeks.

Some of the scenes dragged on a bit, but mostly a great film with some good ol bond cheese.

While having a reputation for its slow pace, The Godfather's performances and tense atmosphere make every scene a pleasure to watch. In the end, the duration feels just right. The film does border on sentimentalism at times, but never departs from its earnest depiction of sociopathic barbarism that masquerades itself as "honest business." The mafia is shown their true colours as backstabbing power-hungry dangerous men with no place in any civilized society-do not let their style and presentation fool you otherwise.

Firstly, props to this movie for even existing, because the topic causes some people to get rather angry and murder-y. I know I say this a lot, but the cinematography of this movie has obviously had a lot of thought and care put into it, the looks, the structure, why the camera shows what it does, all that. The soundtrack is very unsettling, not in a creepy way, but just an uncomfortable “this is weird” way, and I think it’s supposed to be. They sing heyyeahyeahyeahyeah so that’s +10 points, easy. The plot is so good and fairly unpredictable, especially the hard hitter towards the end, which you’ll know what I’m talking about if you’ve seen it. I can appreciate how the leaders of the totallynotacult are portrayed, not as evil masterminds who like torturing gay kids, but as just heavily misguided people who truly believe they are doing a great service. The cast is great, Chlöe grace moretz does a great job, even if at times it’s a tad emotionless, and the rest don’t stand out too much but all have their moments. A very important movie that hopefully starts some discussion about conversion camps. And why they should burn.

Brilliant. I’d explain why but if you’ve seen it, you know. Only reason I’m not giving it 5 stars is because of how I see it in terms of just personal entertainment factor lies at 4 and a half
