Bullitt 1968
A well-made police procedural and my first time seeing Steve McQueen on-screen. He’s got the sauce as Frank Bullitt. Can we talk about his outfits?
The car chase sequence was what prompted me to give this film a shot in the first place and it exceeded all my expectations.

A movie I would have loved to watch with dad.

Ryan Gosling absolutely carried this film on his back. Maybe I’m biased but anyone…

I, the Executioner 2024
Some really well shot action scenes capturing the chaos that ensues. However, the villain didn’t work me. I love my man Jung Hae-In and his performance was chilling but it was tragically wasted on a character with no real narrative trajectory other than being evil despite it feeling like there was meaning behind his crimes. This made his motivations feel inconsistent, directly affecting the themes of the movie or at least what I thought they were. It went from something…
