Review: Seems to be a dispute with the title? Moving on though, Bruce Willis in space, because why not. Even though the movie is a thriller, the inclusion of Bruce Willis’s character, Clay, almost makes this a comedy given that there is strong language and violence throughout, not that I’m complaining, as it would have been another “Alien” franchise knock off. To be honest, I was also interested to see Callan Mulvey in the movie as well as his villainous turn as a mercenary in Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice seems to be fitting with his choice in casting. Given the movie’s conclusion, it is left open for a sequel, in a “Captain Obvious” kind of way. However, the movie's underlying issue here (from my perspective anyway) is that humans destroy everything they touch, so no second chances should be given. Scary...

Review:  Think John Wick meets Jack Reacher meets Home Alone meets Bad Boys. I mean, I’ve seen a lot of shoot outs in movies but in Nobody, I was actually quite entertained and laughing (But only Bad Boys did it funnier). There was definitely something different there with that many mash ups taking place, and overall, not as dark as the synopsis or movie advertisements would have you believe (Age Rating still applies regardless). There are talks of a crossover with John Wick (They share the same producer and screenwriter), which would be interesting.

Review:  This movie could not have come out at a worse time for a country (America) that should be healing. Daniel Kaluuya, personally, is fast becoming one of the more interesting names to watch out for with his current casting choices. I think the biblical play here in the movie was very good for the story and considering that many Americans are still fighting / pushing for fair / equal treatments for many years now, tells of their struggles for many decades (From the movie perspective).

Such occurrences within the country dubbed “leader of the free world” would worry many in the world watching eagerly. I also got the impression that another rising rights activist had been “neutralised” before their time to see some real change. As the movie is based on real life events, I’d keep an open mind here

Review:  If you were expecting a quiet movie, this was anything but that. This movie feels like a culmination of a story that exploded into the cinemas in 2014 in the “Monsterverse” and converged in not one, but two showdowns. Lots of action packed scenes, some character building for Kong that didn’t seem to drag on and quite a few conspiracy theories being toyed around with (tap water, “lizard people” etc). Definitely worth watching, in what feels like a final story, but left open for potentially more
