"Thirteen Lives" depicts one of the greatest rescue stories of this generation. This film unfolds the events of the Thai boys soccer team that got caught in a cave by an early monsoon season. This film does a great job changing perspectives and showing that the media was only able to report part of what really happened.
The divers that volunteered for this mission are international heroes and did the impossible. This story inspires me even more now than it did when it transpired on the news.
"Prey" is a fresh entry into the "Predator" franchise with a creative take on the alien and time period. I think I can honestly say this is the first Historical Era/Sci-Fi/Horror film I've seen and I want more!
What keeps me from giving it a higher rating is wanting to feel more immersed from the beginning in the environment and setting, I felt the first film does a great job of feeling isolated and trapped, where this one didn't give that vibe.
Overall, this movie should've been released in theaters and probably would've solved my small gripes if that was the case.
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Didn't get around to reading the book before viewing, but one thing the movie does well is make the viewer feel extremely bad for the main character by making her entire family leave her in the first 15 minutes!
Her life is painful to watch as she is rediculed but of course there are some people that still treat her with dignity throughout. Kya is very likeable, but is thrown in situations that are very frustrating and sometimes don't make…
"The Gray Man" has the qualities of Bourne and John Wick with a lot less charm and back story to really care about his plight.
However, the movie makes up in lack of character depth through great action sequences, fun dialogue and acting from Chris Evans and one liners with pizzazz that feel like a familiar nod to Russo brothers work in the MCU.
It's a fun Friday night flick to order a pizza with, you'll probably be checking your favorite sports team score most the time though.
