    Pretty crazy, outlandish and headache frentic action. Can we get action movies again with actual car flips and stunt people flying like rag dolls. As far as this directing duo goes it is definitely better than Ghost Rider 2 but unfortunately doesn’t reach the unfiltered insanity levels of both Crank movies. If you want constant action?

His last film Presence from last month, a family drama ghost story was a captivating experiment on its own. His new vintage, well casted thriller Black Bag delivers the adult film thrills we need right now in moviegoing. It’s smart, well made, beautifully filmed and from my own interpretation intentionally cryptic in its editing and screenplay. Yes there is a…
