MY NETFLIX MOVIE REVIEWS #134


After the untimely death of 16-year-old Martin's father on the operating table, little by little, a deep and empathetic bond begins to form between him and the respected cardiothoracic surgeon, Dr Steven Murphy. At first, expensive gifts and then an invitation for dinner will soon earn the orphaned teenager the approval of Dr Steven's perfect family, even though right from the start, a vague, yet unnerving feeling overshadows Martin's honest intent. And then, unexpectedly, the idyllic family is smitten by a fierce and pitiless punishment, while at the same time, everything will start falling apart as the innocents have to suffer. In the end, as the sins of one burden the entire family, only an unimaginable and unendurable decision that demands a pure sacrifice can purge the soul. But to find catharsis, one must first admit the sin. Written by Nick Riganas (Courtesy of Internet Movie Database)

With so much to talk about in this film THE KILLING OF THE SACRED DEER I don’t know where to start. This psychological thriller is so different than anything I’ve seen lately or possibly at all. Saying that I know makes it sound exaggerated but I’m not. The pacing of the film combined with these incredible shot lulls you to sleep almost and then all of a sudden you’re dropped into this character reality that you can barely believe. Definitely layers of metaphors exist so be prepared to give it a second viewing if possible. So for THE KILLING OF THE SACRED DEER I give it 4 stars of 5.

MY NETFLIX MOVIE REVIEWS #133


Robert McCall serves an unflinching justice for the exploited and oppressed, but how far will he go when that is someone he loves? (Courtesy of Internet Movie Database)

As a fan of both Denzel Washington and the first EQUALIZER film it was more than a done deal that I be seeing EQUALIZER 2. Upon viewing it on a Tuesday at the theater my expectations were high, but I reserved the chance it may disappoint. For someone not having seen the first film there wasn’t much overlap in the sense that you’d need to see the first installment before this one. That said, I do feel the first film had more bite and that might very well be due to it being something “new”, but at the same time I don’t think EQUALIZER 2 did enough to make this more memorable than the first. So for EQUALIZER 2 I give it 3.5 stars of 5.

The crown jewel of Her Majesty's Secret Intelligence Service, Agent Lorraine Broughton (Theron) is equal parts spy craft, sensuality and savagery, willing to deploy any of her skills to stay alive on her impossible mission. Sent alone into Berlin to deliver a priceless dossier out of the destabilized city, she partners with embedded station chief David Percival (James McAvoy) to navigate her way through the deadliest game of spies.

Having wanted to see ATOMIC BLONDE from the moment I saw the trailer. I was afraid my anticipation would be my undoing, as the film would turn out to be a flop. Upon watching it I was happily surprised as I felt ATOMIC BLONDE was a very stylistic and entertaining film. From the creative direction to the fight scenes everything lead to an interesting story with a twist of an ending. So for ATOMIC BLNDE I give it 3.95 of 5 stars.

A WALK AMONG THE TOMBSTONES I originally felt was going to be a tangent from the TAKEN films that also starred Liam Neesson. Upon viewing I found out I was very wrong, although what was depicted was still rather entertaining. The era and pacing of the film were some of the more interesting aspects that may have been lost on the audience. I also feel the climax was a little anti climactic as I was hoping for something to really pop. So for A WALK AMONG THE TOMBSTONES I give it 3.5 stars out of 5.
