Movie Review: FREE FIRE

Going into this film, I honestly didn't know what to expect.  Many of my friends have been highly anticipating this film, with equally high expectations.  However, some of them who have seen the film were slightly disappointed.  They weren't saying it was a bad film, just that it didn't meet their, as I said, high expectations.  And if I'm being completely honest, I have to agree.  Free Fire is an enjoyable film, but it's not one that I'll be raving about for weeks to come.  It may be the ultimate deal-gone-wrong film, but unfortunately, it also came very close to being a film-gone-wrong.

Movie Review: HARDCORE HENRY

When Hardcore Henry was announced for a release I was overly excited to check it out. I am all about pushing the boundaries of filmmaking and finding new and original ways to tell a story, so of course this fit perfectly for me. There is always something really exciting to me about seeing new ways in which filmmakers go crazy with imagination and find new places to put the camera or enhance the frame. Whilst Hardcore Henry can certainly boast a remarkable technical achievement, it doesn't end up being the quality film I wished for.
