    Excellent movie. Definitely the best performance from Brendan Fraser. If you haven't seen it yet, stop reading now.
    The obvious parallels between Charlie literally trying to kill himself, or let himself die, to escape his physical limitations and the story of Moby Dick are very powerful. The only issue I have is with the ending, which I think some people may interpret as him ascending to Heaven. I don't agree with that, however. I believe he has transcended and risen…

    I wasn't quite sure what to expect with this. But I was pleasantly surprised with the comedic aspect, which made it fun for me. It seemed like they were going for an Angus Young look in the previews. The burial scene was the best. Evangeline Lilly looked fantastic 😍

    Definitely an '80s martial arts film, lol. The plot is pretty familiar, people hunting other humans for fun. There are some definite good parts that are enjoyable. I'm a sucker for '80s action. So I did enjoy it overall. But you can tell that the story was changed after Norris refused to return and Michael Dudikoff was brought on. I don't mind the substitution. I've never been a fan of Norris. But I'd say this is a decent flick. Probably not anything I'd do multiple viewings, but a fun watch if you're a Dudikoff, martial arts, or '80s fan.

    This was an interesting film. I'm not a big horror fan, but I enjoyed this. Not a ton of blood or gore, which doesn't bother me anyway. Definitely worth watching.
